W.A.S.P Announce The 7 Savage: 1984-1992 2nd Edition
Due to huge demand from the public, a second edition of the W.A.S.P. Deluxe 8LP Boxset from their “Capitol Years” is being released on March 8, 2024 on Madfish. W.A.S.P. is one of the most consistent and reliable forces in rock music – unstoppable and unassailable, like a heavy metal juggernaut sent back in time from a long-distant galaxy. Frontman Blackie Lawless is undoubtedly one of rock’s everlasting figures – someone’s whose attitude and vision changed the musical landscape around him, in the process bearing fruit to some of the biggest anthems of their time.
Their first five studio albums (W.A.S.P., The Last Command, Inside the Electric Circus, The Headless Children, and The Crimson Idol) contributed enough on their own for W.A.S.P. to be considered one of the greatest rock bands of all-time. Those LPs are all presented in this set, mastered half-speed at Air Studios, London for a superior, sharper, more direct and engaging sound.
Packaged within a deluxe red leatherette effect double slipcase, The 7 Savage: 1984-1992 is completed on vinyl with two more LPs: 1987’s Live… in the Raw and new compilation Bonus Tracks & B-Sides featuring the controversial breakthrough anthem “Animal (F**k Like a Beast).”
Compiled with the full cooperation of Blackie Lawless, the box set also includes a 60-page book with exclusive and rare pictures from legendary metal photographers (including Ross Halfin, Tony Mottram, David Plastik, and Paul Natkin), along with extensive liner notes from Amit Sharma (Kerrang!, Planet Rock). Also included is an exclusive Blackie Lawless poster, plus a six-page folding poster replica from the debut LP.
Note: The 2nd Edition has no certificate and is not numbered. Order the box set here.

About W.A.S.P.:Few bands in the history of rock ‘n’ roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles, California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these winged assassins from performing live, the band’s unique style of shock and rock caused religious organizations, local city councils, parliaments, and the Washington DC Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social, and political commentary took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for four decades.
