The Headless Children  by W.A.S.P.

Blackie Lawless and his band W.A.S.P. create and present a nightmarish landscape with The Headless Children in 1989. This particular album is one of the most complete albums on every level in the long career of W.A.S.P.

The impressive change in The Headless Children was in the themes of the songs, where Lawless's lyrics deal with socio-political issues, while the previous three discographic efforts of W.A.S.P. were limited to and exhausted in sex and "varied" entertainment. The compositions mainly belong to Blackie Lawless, but there is also a cover of The Who's The Real Me, which was released as a single in May 1989. Among the musicians contributing to the creation of the album, we find Ken Hensley of Uriah Heep on keyboards and Lita Ford. In the production of The Headless Children, we find Blackie Lawless himself.

Upon its release, the album reached No. 48 in the U.S. and No. 8 in Great Britain (!)
