W.A.S.P.
W.A.S.P. was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1982 by vocalist and bassist Blackie Lawless, becoming one of the most notoriously theatrical acts of the 1980s metal scene through provocative live performances and shock rock imagery that earned them a place in the Parents Music Resource Center's "Filthy Fifteen" list of objectionable songs. Their self-titled debut (1984) and The Last Command (1985) were both RIAA gold-certified, and The Headless Children (1989) marked a critical turning point toward a more serious, album-oriented approach. With over 12 million records sold worldwide, W.A.S.P. remains active under Lawless's direction, releasing their most recent studio album Golgotha in 2015.
