There is no mistaking the voice of Blackie Lawless. It is the sound that gives parents nightmares and rock fans hard-ons. When all the metal bands have wasted away or sold out, W.A.S.P. stands alone. What\'s even more amazing is that they just keep getting better.
The Neon God: Part 1 - The Rise is the first in a two-part concept album that takes Blackie\'s familiar obsessions-- religion, death, and bad parenting-- and ties it into the universal question of \"Why are we here?\"
The story follows a teen, from abuse in an orphanage to a run as the leader of a cult who may or may not be the new messiah.
Even if you don\'t get sucked into the story, The Neon God is musically enthralling. From the crashing of Blackie\'s first power chords and Frankie Banali\'s killer drum fills, there is nothing else that satisfies like a new W.A.S.P. album. Buy a ticket, take the ride, and hold on for dear life.
