W.A.S.P. — Unholy Terror

O.k., bust out your buzz-saw blade cod-piece, 'cause W.A.S.P have flown the nest and are attempting to once again lay a stingin' on ya. The most glaring thing about Unholy Terror's 10 tracks is the fact that Blackie Lawless and Chris Holmes' treble-soaked guitar sounds have not changed one iota in almost 20 years. This isn't a bad effort by the band and, like previous releases, W.A.S.P. tackle topics like religion, lust and every horror that falls in between. Metallic tracks like "Let It Roar" and "Who Slayed Baby Jane," sound like they could've been released in '84, but someone forgot to tell Lawless that the riff for "Raven Heart" dates back to a little song called "School's Out" by some other geezer-ly shock rocker.
