## Key points

- Lawless says some new W.A.S.P. material is impressive, but some falls short.
- The band’s follow-up to 2015’s *Golgotha* remains unfinished.
- He says new music must stand up to the band’s early albums.

## Summary

W.A.S.P. frontman Blackie Lawless says the band has been working on new music, but he has not decided whether the material is strong enough to release. After back surgeries gave him time to revisit earlier recordings, he found some sections “absolutely breathtaking” and others “crap”. He says a new album would be about the band’s legacy, as streaming has made it difficult for artists to earn money from records.

Lawless says the new material must measure up to W.A.S.P.’s early albums, which he considers the records that made the band’s reputation. The follow-up to 2015’s *Golgotha* has been delayed by an intense touring schedule, and he previously said the demos had good moments but lacked consistency. He has described *Golgotha* as one of the best records he has worked on, setting a high bar for anything that follows.
