It’s been an unbelievable forty years in metal since the legendary bad-ass rockers W.A.S.P. released their now-classic self-titled debut album. Through all that passage of time, the album still remains as relevant today as it did way back then. To celebrate the long-life of this classic release, W.A.S.P are bringing the entirety of the album on a North American tour this coming fall, with support from Bay Area thrashers Death Angel and the gothic metal stylings of Unto Others.
W.A.S.P. will again offer VIP tickets that give fans a chance to meet Blackie Lawless, get a personal photo with Blackie, autographs and take part in a very personal question-and-answer session with Blackie. VIP tickets can be purchased at waspnation.myshopify.com.
