Almost six years have passed since the world saw a new studio album from W.A.S.P. On October 2nd, the wait ended, as Blackie Lawless and co. released their new album, and Napalm Records debut, Golgotha. An unboxing video for the limited metal box edition of the album can be seen below:

The first lyric video from Golgotha, for "Scream”, can be seen below.

Frontman Blackie Lawless on "Scream": "'Scream' was the track we felt really opened the album with the kick we were looking for. The animation on the video is outstanding and truly takes you on a trip. 'Your gonna cry if you want me, Your gonna lie if you love me!!!  It's enough to make you wanna "Scream”!!!”

Check out Part 1 of The Making Of Golgotha here.

Blackie Lawless on Golgotha: "There are times in any band's career that somehow all things mesh together. Their experiences, influences, and personal timing bring them into a common space. This has happened with this record. Four years in the making has provided direction, but even greater reflection. Golgotha, where Christ was crucified - Hebrew for "the place of the skull"."

Golgotha is available for order from the Napalm Records webstore in North America here and Europe here.

Golgotha tracklisting:

“Scream”
“Last Runaway”
“Shotgun”
“Miss You”
“Fallen Under”
“Slaves Of The New World Order”
“Eyes Of My Maker”
“Hero Of The World”

Golgotha continues down the path that 2007's Dominator and 2009's Babylon started on, both in production style and theme. Years in the making, Golgotha will undoubtedly lead the listeners on the emotionally epic undertaking that W.A.S.P. has become acclaimed for.
