Catalog Number: SMALP1298 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 636551829816 W.A.S.P.'s EPONYMOUS DEBUT ALBUM CELEBRATES 40 YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH MADFISH REISSUE PRESSED ON RED & BLACK MARBLE VINYL & REMASTERED AT HALF-SPEED W.A.S.P. first exploded onto the raucous 80's metal scene in 1984 with their genre-defining eponymous debut album 'W.A.S.P.'With an unwavering swagger, a singular image & their fair share of controversy to boot, W.A.S.P. quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the world of heavy metal. The debut album 'W.A.S.P.'was the first & remains one of the finest, examples of a band with little regard for the rules, an outlaw attitude & the razor-sharp music to back it all up. "It was all about shock for W.A.S.P., be it flaming codpieces, tying a semi-naked woman to a torture rack mid-set, tossing raw meat into the audience or Blackie Lawless' own stupefying arrogance... One thing is for certain, in the annals of metal there are very few bands like W.A.S.P." Metal Hammer This iconic release is now celebrating its 40th anniversary with a special reissue by Madfish, pressed on striking red & black marble vinyl & remastered at half-speed, capturing the raw energy & rebellious spirit that made W.A.S.P. a cornerstone of 80's metal.
