W.A.S.P.: Tonight's Concert In Västerås Cancelled

November 6, 2009

Tonight's (Friday, November 6) W.A.S.P. concert at Sigurdsgatan 25 in Västerås, Sweden was cancelled due to "technical issues" (reportedly due to "insufficient video screen size").

W.A.S.P. will hit the road in the U.S. in February 2010. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.

W.A.S.P.'s new album, "Babylon", entered the U.K. "Rock Albums" chart at position No. 15. The CD was released on October 12 through Global Music (via Demolition Records).

"Babylon" is themed around biblical visions of "The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse," and is described in a press release as "a metal masterpiece that will make fans both old and new craving for more."

Audio samples of all the tracks that appear on "Babylon" are available at Amazon.co.uk.

"Crazy" was made available for download via various digital service providers from September 28.

Frontman Blackie Lawless commented on the track: "Although like it may sound like a man talking to a woman, 'Crazy' is about a performer talking to an audience; the dangers of idol worship and elevating musicians and politicians to a level that's dangerous!"

Fan-filmed video footage of W.A.S.P. performing the song "Wild Child" on October 28, 2009 at Byscenen in Haugesund, Norway can be viewed below.
