antiReviews: W.A.S.P. - Unholy Terror
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 doesn’t suffer from sounded dated like so many 80’s metal bands who are still putting out new music. 

Blackie’s voice still commands the listener's attention with it’s 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!

this cd is truly a great work of art. not only can he still hold his voice but he still let's you know he is "the man". wasp was the first band i was turned on too and got hooked for life. wasp was, is, and always will be an icon in the music world. bands will be looking torward them for guidance in the future. their music is in a league of their own that no one will come close to copying.wasp,the band, the legacy continues forever!!!

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....

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!!!

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


Posted by 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


Posted by JoeP:
Uhholy Terror is awsome! What a powerful piece of art. Great music with a great message. I hope WASP comes to Nebraska. I'll be there in a second!


Posted by WaspRulez:
W.A.S.P. kicks @$$! Always have and always will! Unholy is the best yet!


Posted by 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


Posted by Decker:
I totally agree. This record speaks for itself.Blackie has another masterpiece to stick under his belt.


Posted by bandit:
What is wrong with all the so-called metal fans on this site.WASP is one of the greatest heavy metal bands ever and no threads.POSERS!all of you.Forget about crazy town and corn and Go out and buy Crimson Idol(Best cd of the 90's) or Headless Children.Blackie Lawless is pure Metal Integrity
