This album is a masterpiece of despair and sorrow. In my honest opinion, outside of death or black metal, this is one of metal's darkest albums but one of its most underrated bands. Hail Blackie!
@@michaelclaffey7021 He was caught in the wrong era in many ways. I met him once in a club in London in about 1991. He was enormous. I’m six foot 1 but he was a giant... the boots helped. Anyway the music list back then was Mainly guns n Roses, poison, la guns, Cinderella Aerosmith etc etc you know, all the MTV type bands and he just didn’t fit that commercially successful mould, he didn’t stay long in the club. Wild child broke them a bit but songs like this he said were his favourite to write and he loved the subject matter, he seemed like a clever guy.
I agree! They had always been one of my favorite bands on the Sunset Strip. This is tall order, too, considering that there had been the relishment of the other bands there, as well, such as Stryper, Ratt, Motley, Dokken...yea, WASP had always been one of the frontrunners, as well as one of the best and strongest bands ever!!!
@@nonamehours6428 I see it otherwise. There are songs who give the similar feelings like unholy terror or the great misconceptions of me. Of course you have less "demonic metal af" songs like wild child. But trust the band. You'll find similar songs
The lone survivor of an unholy feast stands in the wake of a blazing hornets' nest, not as a figure of divine intervention or heroism, but as a symbol of unfiltered vengeance, indescribable contempt, and complete, unspeakable, animalistic *rage.*
The song fits to a character covored in blood, fire and amniotic fluid showing up like the Wrath of God to the point, where even an actual demon from hell asks wtf is wrong with you!
Holy shit, this is INTENSE. I thought W.A.S.P. were just '80s sleaze rockers...songs like this make me realise Blackie had way more ambition than most of his contemporaries on the hair metal scene. Wow.
...80's was 80's and hae many good songs...but since Headless children Blackie jaa done deeper and better songs...only or two albums that are not so good but the rest are just beautiful...
WASP made the best Hair Metal album and then a decade later made the best Industrial Metal album, not to mention the best Concept Album and some of the best headbanging songs and power ballads in between that time.
I am a life long vocalist who had some complications two years ago that left me with diaphragm issues, and a vocal chord injury. I had a small bowel perforation that required 5 surgeries to fix, went septic, almost bled out from the internal bleeding, and while waking up from the coma after the surgeries, I pulled out the ventilator tube in my throat, and snagged my vocal chords. I couldn’t even talk for a week and I have a scar the length of my abdomen, that extends into my muscle wall. I’m just getting back to singing. Tonight was the first time I got through this song without feeling like I was going to faint, or lose my voice, in the 4 months I’ve been trying to sing it. This makes me want to cry! I don’t know why this has been the song I’ve used to gauge my progress, but it’s super difficult to sing and I love it.
I'm a woman of almost 60 and have followed the majority of Blackie's career. I never knew he was a member, even if just for a short time, of the "New York Dolls," whom I listened to in my late teens. He has 43 years of my dedication. I even have his "Sister" cd. His music is nothing short of brilliant! I love all of his work from the raw early days to the God loving, faith filled man he's become!. I absolutely love this man and will follow him to the end.
Black metal is not about dark emotions, it's about satanism... This song is inspired by "The Heart of Darkness"/"Apocalypse Now" and is way more dark and depressive than most metal songs...
In case someone doesn't know (rare case though), the lyrics are mostly taken from the film "Apocalypse Now"... Some of these lyrics (worm on razor's edge, the horror etc) are actually the words of Marlon Brando as Kurtz... One of the most creepy songs ever created!
I love this cd have since came out in 1997 in new Zealand a little bit beat up but still plays turn 50 this year fan since the1980s but who cares until the end wasps forever
You can just feel the genius behind this music. They live, eat and breathe their music. They come very close to resembling the turmoil we live in everyday!! They also draw out the dark side, that we all have, in a very creative way.
I remember when W.A.S.P. got their first album released. And theachers in school actually had class meetings,standing and saying that if we listened to this music we would be doomed for our entire lives. That this music would ruin our perception of what would be right and wrong in life. And they referred to the performances that W.A.S.P. had with the blood and the naked lady on stage. For me one of the first songs i really gave the lyrics some thought was 'school days'. "School days,I'm here doing time,school days,my age is my crime". I was never a person who liked or fitted into the school environment. But now I'm grown and W.A.S.P. is still going with me through Spotify and RUclips. Hopefully I could be able to see WASP live sometime if I'd be having time and be free from work. / Greets to all fellow WASP fans.
BLACKIE, is clearly one of a kind.. There is a feeling of satisfaction Everytime I listen to BLACKIE'S MUSIC.. A LOT OF TIMES I FEEL LIKE MY HEART BEAT IS MERGING WITH THE BEAT OF THE MUSIC... RIGHT ON!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!
You see, this very album of the band is in a certain sense unique. W.A.S.P. managed to create kinda cocktail of hate, disgust, anger and desperation that they never made again. In fact there are some songs on their previous and following releases retaining more or less the same atmosphere: namely MY WICKED HEART, CHARISMA, LOCO-MOTIVE MAN, I CAN'T , HEAVEN HUNG IN BLACK etc. But there isn't any album of the band being so consistently dark and gloomy. I would only advise you to try some MY DYING BRIDE or DARK TRANQUILLITY albums. Though they definitely differ musically, they create the same feelings and impressions. At least, from my point of view. Overkill's YEARS OF DECAY would do too...
Dear Devil, imho there are two types of W.A.S.P. fans. Some people prefer lighter simplier stuff of their first albums like BLIND IN TEXAS, L.O.V.E. MACHINE, I WANNA BE SOMEBODY etc. I don't wanna say those songs are bad. But they are kinda trivial, kinda ordinary: any glam metal band could write them. I personally and the lady over there too seem to prefer the more serious side of Blackie's work. Not the songs about sex , alcohol and pleasure to play rock, but songs about deep , often negative emotions, about scary events, about evil of this world. In fact, these songs are more complicated from the point of composition and performance; they made listeners contemplate and sympathize, made them think.
Of course I'm wasp fan...I really enjoy pretty much all the albums!I've been listening to 80s hard rock - glam - heavy metal bands for many years, though I wasn't born back then.After so many bands and so much music I end up prefering KFD and Crimson Idol, though. Just like the comment before me - I find it much more deep (not about sex and boobs!). I enjoy the other albums as well but just for a night out.
By my math you would have been born in '64. And if you've had a crush on Blackie since you were 16 years old, then that would make the year to be 1980, but W.A.S.P was formed two years later, in '82. Or did you by any chance discover Blackie from the pre-W.A.S.P band, Circus Circus, which was formed in 1979? Somewhat unlikely, but a possibility yes.
I didn't expect to like KFD much, but I have to say that it was a pretty good album. And as a huge Michael Myers fan, I love the concept of tying him in with this song.
Just rewatched Apocalypse Now. The film definitely played a large part in Blackie writing this song. "On the edge of a straight razor, Pagan Idolatry, kill pig after pig after pig, The Horror, The Horror, The Horror" all within Apocalypse Now. Also a couple lines from the track Little Death are taken from the film Interview With a Vampire. I enjoy making that connection when I listen to this CD .. definitely a favorite of mine 🤘
God this song is so amazing. Not as dark as you made it out to be but it's definitely atmospheric and intese as hell when it needs to be. Easily one of my favorite albums of theirs
My brother has being a wasp fan for 23 years ( since he was 12).. And I never liked them much, but this album is awesome and we now enjoy listening to Blackie together :)
Fucking amazing! I won't lie and pretend like I was any kind of W.A.S.P. fan back in the day. But this one is so heartfelt dark that if you didn't know who it was, you'd swear that it was some rare Acid Bath track with a new vocalist! I thought I had heard growth from the Crimson Idol but FUCK! Thanks!
YES I loved Trick or Treat growing up. And yes I always thought Blackie would have made the ultimate Sammie Curr. Tony Fields was great, but Blackie would have fit even better. I was a huge WASP fan until I heard Inside the Electric Circus. They just weren't the same. By then I was into Slayer, Death, then Cannibal Corpse, and my tastes have continued to get heavier as time goes by. WASP started it all for me, though. 🎵
@@craigpaulson3503 Blackie was up for the role and offered to do the soundtrack but producers chose Fastway and Blackie had no interest in lip syncing to Fastway songs
From 0:00 - 1:30 of the song...with headphones....inline volume maxed...and maxed everywhere else too.... Let the pounding upon your ear drums commence...
this album has a clear and clean sound! everything is well balanced! the lyrics are intense, everything is there! kfd power x 1000 ..best dark album ever very powerful
I used to think "what was it that made blackie write the KFD album", so dark, so intense. But then I went there myself and found myself using his music to find where I was. I could so easily go there again but at least this time I will know where it is and find my way back
Love Blackie, but he always followed trends. Inside the Electric Circus was riding the hair metal train, as this album was based on the industrial metal of the 90’s. Headless Children was probably the only album with a specific identity.
I was an extra in Halloween 4! it was fun. I adore Blackie, so this video makes me happy! I love how it enhances the song so that the music is the star and not just a soundtrack for a visual cluster f ck. this song feels like making love to a gieger painting. it sounds like Black is is singing right in NY ear. so softly, almost sweetly, but there's something in his voice that pricks me with fear. something like honey kisses that disguise the venomous bite. and then he strikes with dark truths spoken in cryptic rhymes.. I don't mind! he is welcome to take a bite any time👅
If you look at history, the only reason why WASP was given a bad reputation. It's all because of the PMRC!! They never were given the credit they deserved.
That's the biggest mistake Blackie has made with the band: Jumping around genres. He'd go from what I call the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" boogie woogie"-style sound, then back and forth between that and their metal sound. He's tried to find his niché,but doesn't always hit the mark with certain albums. Not until he recorded "The Headless Children". Then, he'd start taking all his work seriously again, and releases an album like:"Hellderado", which was a horrible failure, and then he'd record something more like heavy metal again, confusing the audience again. It's the one continual mistake he's made, in my opinion. But, they're STILL a tight,and heavy band throughout it all. I consider "The Crimson Idol" to be right up there with Pink Floyd's: "The Wall", as far as Rock Operas go. Blackie's work is an essential part of metal any way you see it. But, he has played " Hit & Miss" on a couple albums.
"The Beast Got Into The Nursery"
fucking metal fight scene.
with the wraith of God only did he beat her ass
The whole fight was just a perfect monster vs monster fight
It's Guts... with a torch.... he set the whole place on fire...
And a fucking metal lead in to it with I AM THE HORROR
This album is a masterpiece of despair and sorrow. In my honest opinion, outside of death or black metal, this is one of metal's darkest albums but one of its most underrated bands. Hail Blackie!
I agree with you 100%. W.A.S.P. and Blackie were vastly underrated. I was lucky enough to have seen them several times.
@@michaelclaffey7021 He was caught in the wrong era in many ways. I met him once in a club in London in about 1991. He was enormous. I’m six foot 1 but he was a giant... the boots helped.

Blackie lawless is a great songwriter and musician he should get a hell of lot more appreciated than he gets . Another king of metal music
I listened to this and the corresponding songs off of double live assassin's, I made a CD, for a year straight in my car. No exaggeration.
TheAlmightyLoli had the right idea using this for Guts during The Lost Children arc.
Holy hell, it’s intense!
He literally is *The Horror*
"You guys gotta understand something. I'm not trapped in the Interstice with you. YOU'RE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME!"
It was an amazing choice. Perfectly suited the scene.
Yeah he nailed that scene with this music
Good to see I'm not the only one that came from that video to give this song a listen.
Thank you AlmightyLoli
He set the whole place on fire
The beast got into the nursery
2:46 "all the cocoons burn as they look towards the figure in the distance. It's Guts, holding a torch, he lit the whole place on fire"
The Beast got into the Nursery
That's what brought me here, Loli sure does know what music to use in his videos
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO
Welcome TheAlmightyLoli fans who are now WASP fans. You've stumbled across one of the best metal bands in the world
I liked a few songs from Wasp like Wild Child but none have hit like this. The beast got into the nursery
I got into them from this video, so it's funny how that worked
@@nonamehours6428 I see it otherwise. There are songs who give the similar feelings like unholy terror or the great misconceptions of me. Of course you have less "demonic metal af" songs like wild child. But trust the band. You'll find similar songs
Good to be here
I was already a WASP fan years back but now I'm back binging their old music again thanks to Loli's videos
2:54 This is why I'm here for.
Thanks, AlmightyLoli to present this great song! And thanks for the uploader too, great job man!
I'm 55 years old and have loved W.A.S.P since I was 15. Blackie is amazing ❤
Judging from the TheAlmightyLoli comments, I appear to found the right song finally.
The lone survivor of an unholy feast stands in the wake of a blazing hornets' nest, not as a figure of divine intervention or heroism, but as a symbol of unfiltered vengeance, indescribable contempt, and complete, unspeakable, animalistic *rage.*
I love Lost Children too 💕

Kneel before the Horror.
Blackie's genius is just too much to handle. That's why he didn't get the recognition he deserved. Most people simply can't understand him.
Agreed.
I understand him very well ! Yes a genius
@@bl1574 fuck yeah me too I AGREE
So very true.
I like that you stated this essentially that’s what a true artist is.
The song fits to a character covored in blood, fire and amniotic fluid showing up like the Wrath of God to the point, where even an actual demon from hell asks wtf is wrong with you!
Just a friendly beast in the nursery surely no horrifying violence will commence

Lots of strings on his harp...

i been with wasp sense they came out i love this
Welcome to "The Hellions" I am 51 and he has been a top favorite vocalist since about 84
Lauren Widmann it always reminded me of a desert wind.
this song makes black metal look a little more like dark navy
Vega Levi with that sort of comment you are obviously colour blind
And I thought Bathory had some disturbing lyrics....
Black metal is not about dark emotions, it's about satanism... This song is inspired by "The Heart of Darkness"/"Apocalypse Now" and is way more dark and depressive than most metal songs...
i love that answer
Black metal, maybe. Death metal, no. Black metal is more about darkness, misanthropy, etc. If you want real shock lyrics, go listen to death metal.

Just rewatched Apocalypse Now. The film definitely played a large part in Blackie writing this song. "On the edge of a straight razor, Pagan Idolatry, kill pig after pig after pig, The Horror, The Horror, The Horror" all within Apocalypse Now.
Also a couple lines from the track Little Death are taken from the film Interview With a Vampire. I enjoy making that connection when I listen to this CD .. definitely a favorite of mine 🤘
Second best WASP album behind the crimson idol imo.
1 The Crimson Idol
2 KFD
3 The Headless Children
I can dig that. Those 3 are all in my Top 5.
The Crison Idol o melhor !
1 KFD, 2 Crimson 3 Headless
Unholy Terror is also pretty damn good
Headless for me
This slow heavy burner is up there with the greats of other bands ie. Type o negs September sun. There will never be a song like this again.
God this song is so amazing. Not as dark as you made it out to be but it's definitely atmospheric and intese as hell when it needs to be. Easily one of my favorite albums of theirs
The first 4min sounds like something that tool would do
AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE...
AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS ----- BLACKIE LAWLESS...
Wow Blackie, this is pretty scare stuff. Collective thumbs-up!
In my top 5 WASP Albums of all time. But if KFD had more songs like this and "Kill Your Pretty Face" on it... Then it would be in my top 3 by far.
Knowing WASP's music is like knowing God, knowing art, knowing poetry.

I love my dark w.a.s.p.!
I'm 39 and discovered wasp 3 years ago and been stuck ever since.
this album has a clear and clean sound! everything is well balanced! the lyrics are intense, everything is there! kfd power x 1000 ..best dark album ever very powerful
Wie mans von wasp gewöhnt ist,wie immer absolut genial
The beginning of 'halo of flies' the end like 'black jojo' - both the early alice cooper. Like it much.
I used to think "what was it that made blackie write the KFD album", so dark, so intense. But then I went there myself and found myself using his music to find where I was. I could so easily go there again but at least this time I will know where it is and find my way back
He was going through a divorce. This album helped me get through my first divorce.
@@stevenpurtee5062 blackie was never married or had kids
@@zikkicharade he is married now but had recently gone through a failed engagement before this album was released.
This song reminds me so much of the Apocalypse Now. The Horror.
Love Blackie, but he always followed trends. Inside the Electric Circus was riding the hair metal train, as this album was based on the industrial metal of the 90’s. Headless Children was probably the only album with a specific identity.
I was an extra in Halloween 4! it was fun.
I adore Blackie, so this video makes me happy! I love how it enhances the song so that the music is the star and not just a soundtrack for a visual cluster f ck.
this song feels like making love to a gieger painting. it sounds like Black is is singing right in NY ear. so softly, almost sweetly, but there's something in his voice that pricks me with fear. something like honey kisses that disguise the venomous bite.
and then he strikes with dark truths spoken in cryptic rhymes..
I don't mind! he is welcome to take a bite any time👅
7:24 sounds like an early version of the riff in Stone Cold Killers from Dying for the World
Absolutely kick ass track loved blackie still do mad respect for him ...
WTF was going on in Blackie's life when he wrote this shit?
This is what pure hatred sounds like.
another epic song of this awesome band
If you look at history, the only reason why WASP was given a bad reputation. It's all because of the PMRC!! They never were given the credit they deserved.
If the movie”trick-or-treat” would’ve been made in this time period, this album would’ve been the perfect soundtrack to it
but Trick or treat isn’t dark movie
I always thought of W.A.S.P. as a band who wrote perverted anthems but this is next level... A fuckin' Masterpiece!
That's the biggest mistake Blackie has made with the band: Jumping around genres. He'd go from what I call the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" boogie woogie"-style sound, then back and forth between that and their metal sound. He's tried to find his niché,but doesn't always hit the mark with certain albums. Not until he recorded "The Headless Children". Then, he'd start taking all his work seriously again, and releases an album like:"Hellderado", which was a horrible failure, and then he'd record something more like heavy metal again, confusing the audience again. It's the one continual mistake he's made, in my opinion. But, they're STILL a tight,and heavy band throughout it all. I consider "The Crimson Idol" to be right up there with Pink Floyd's: "The Wall", as far as Rock Operas go. Blackie's work is an essential part of metal any way you see it. But, he has played " Hit & Miss" on a couple albums.
