Review by antiGUY
W.A.S.P.
- Unholy Terror
Label: Metal-Is
Records
Rating:
Tracks: Let It Roar
Hate To Love Me
Loco-Motive Man
Unholy Terror
Charisma
Who Slayed Baby Jane?
Euphoria
Raven Heart
Evermore
Wasted White Boys
Blackie Lawless is pissed off and he wants
you know to about it! While never shy with his opinion, Blackie has saved
most of his fire and rhetoric from interviews and soundbytes. No more,
with Unholy Terror Blackie lets loose like never before and produces possible
the band's best album since The Last Command.
Tracks like Let it Roar, "Unholy Terror",
"Europia" and "Raven Heart" retain the classic W.A.S.P. feel but it doesnt
suffer from sounded dated like so many 80s metal bands who are still putting
out new music.
Blackies voice still commands the listener's
attention with its growling venom but instead of talking about sex, Blackie
uses his voice here to get a few things off his chest about politics and
religion. You may not agree with what Mr. Lawless has to say but you have
to respect the delivery. Chris Holmes as usual showcases his six
string skills with precision, laying down some of the tastiest leads of
his career.
In the final analysis Unholy Terror just
gives us one more reason to love this band and to be grateful they are
still kicking ass and taking names all these years later. Hats off to Blackie
and company for a top notch album!

How can I disagree with you all, hellions?!-W.A.S.P. is still going strong and kicking serious ass!!! UNHOLY TERROR is true masterpiece of art, no doubt. I have listened to this record approximately 30 times since I got it a couple of weeks ago. And I can't get enough of it. I almost forgot, that I have CD's of other bands. That says something?! I have never been disappointed with W.A.S.P., because I always knew, that with every release THE BOYS would come up with something completely different and powerful. How am I supposed to point out my favourite W.A.S.P. album, when I like them all the most. But today I listen to UNHOLY TERROR! So, you'd better do the same, 'cause the gods that are steel will bring you to your knees....
Posted by Mary: Unholy Terror is not only full of great
sounding music, but it is also very thought provoking. The commentary on
our society is right on the money. Beautiful lyrics, great music, and wonderful
sentiment and message. Blackie, I love you!!!

bandit: You are a piece of shyt that doesent know
what he's talking about.You dont know anything about metal if you think
WASP isnt a metal band.Read the artist of the month spotlight on WASP then
go out and listen to them.You will find that they have more talent in the
tips of thier fingers then any NU-metal group around.F'in rookie

True Metal Man: WASP is not metal, but Hard Rock I am
sick of you ignorents that listen to Hard Rock and Critize Mallcore. You
don't know real Metal when it hit you
If W.A.S.P. isn't metal then no one is? I don't know what you
base your opinion on, but W.A.S.P. is far beyond a hard rock group. It
seems you are confusing nu metal with heavy metal, if there is any arguement
about what qualifies as real metal, W.A.S.P. wins. -aG

Brian: I think this is one of the best W.A.S.P
albums since Albums went to the wayside. This CD rocks, it has all you
would expect from W.A.S.P . I cant get it out of my player, had to remove
"Live...in the Raw" to play it. Keep up the great work, lets see you live
in San Diego!! Thanks guys, Unholy Terror Rocks Brian Vyhnal
