W.A.S.P. – The legendary Blackie Lawless is currently celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Heavy Metal band he founded, nurtured and made into a dominating force, a band known across the globe as W.A.S.P. and the celebration is called: W.A.S.P. 30 Years Of Thunder. Fans can go directly to W.A.S.P. NATION and read both Part One and Part Two of W.A.S.P. 30 Years Of Thunder.

Blackie Lawless has written, in detail, the early beginnings of W.A.S.P. in Part One, (which was posted on W.A.S.P. Nation in September) and Blackie continues on with the early stages of W.A.S.P. history with Part Two (which was posted up this month of October). In the coming months, Blackie Lawless will serve up more W.A.S.P. history, as he writes about the evolution of his band and more amazingly cool stories and facts.

Best Metal buddy/Metal Odyssey’s Metal Researcher Scott Coverdale came across Part One and was ecstatic about this W.A.S.P. anniversary, bringing it all to my Metal attention… I too share in the same Metal excitement. Scott and I both congratulate Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P.! Here’s to another 30 Years Of Thunder! Metal be thy name.

“There are those who play Heavy Metal, there are Heavy Metal legends and then there are Champions of Heavy Metal. Blackie Lawless is a Champion of Heavy Metal”. – Stone

FEERSUM ENNJIN – Self-Titled Debut Moves To Nov. 22nd, 2011 Release Date

PAUL D’AMOUR, FORMER TOOL BASS PLAYER, REUNITES WITH TOOL DRUMMER DANNY CAREY FOR NEW SONG

Oct. 25, LOS ANGELES – Feersum Ennjin, the new Rock band from former Tool bass player/Lusk founder Paul D’Amour, has moved their self-titled debut album to a Nov. 22 release date to add a new song (“The Fourth“) that reunites D’Amour with his former band mate Danny Carey (drummer for Tool).

D’Amour and Carey last worked together on the 1995 release of Tool’s album Aenima.

Paul D’Amour

Initial thoughts were to save the new song for the next Feersum Ennjin release but D’Amour was eager to share the track and a decision to push the release of Feersum Ennjin to Nov. 22 to allow for the inclusion of “The Fourth” was made.

D’Amour remained with Tool until the 1995 release of Aenima.  He also founded the psychedelic outfit Lusk with Brad Laner (Medicine), Greg Edwards (Autolux, Failure) and Chris Pitman (Gun N’Roses). Lusk released one critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated release, Free Mars, in 1997 but their label imploded shortly thereafter and the group subsequently disbanded.  D’Amour moved on to film composition, where he has spent the next dozen years quietly working on music for film and television.
