Unstoppable Blackie Lawless, who after fifteen years of his career and fourteen studio albums, still manages to produce quality music . Yes, because this "Babylon" album which turns on the figure of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, is the worthy successor of the incredible "Dominator" in 2007, which blew up the fans, but most skeptics, in their chairs.
After a long period in which the inspiration seemed to him turned his back (more or less "Still Not Black Enough "in 1995 to" The Neon God, Part 2: The Demise "in 2004) the good old Blackie, founder, leader, singer and guitarist of WASP seems to be back to show us that his time is still far from over . 
"Babylon" is a cool job, maybe not original, but that is exactly what every fan of WASP could want. Along the lines of "Dominator", Blackie is proposing seven new songs to scream, plus two covers (the covers damn viziaccio ! It is really necessary in a two disc with just seven new songs?), reminiscent of that golden period of the band that churned out masterpieces like "The Headless Children" (1989) or the fantastic concept "The Crimson Idol" (1992).
It starts immediately in the fourth with the inspired "Crazy," in which the rousing chorus is king, in a very successful hard rock song. "Live To Die Another Day" is classic WASP riff and chorus directed strappaorecchie, to sing in a convertible launched on route 66. Fantastic. Indistinguishable style percussion WASP "Babylon" is a cool job, maybe not original, but that is exactly what every fan of WASP could want.

Epic is the watchword of the metal ride by the name of "Babylon's Burning", probably the best part of the album is perfect from first to last note, and topped off with a fantastic solo. Following the first of two covers, or "Burn" (originally recorded for the album, "Dominator" but then excluded): nice office, but certainly for exclusive merit of Deep Purple. Much better than the original. "Into The Fire" is a mid tempo that would be evocative, but it is a bit 'off because of the banality of its structure. Very high levels
instead for "Red Thunder," a frontal assault on the basis of sex and blood rock, in the face. Fantastic and casino!
Try to swim in the "Seas Of Fire", if you dare. Your score would be this great song, this time more conducive to metal to rock, in a crescendo of pathos that culminates in one spot and amazing in a very bad final bridge.
The last piece is the original crazy power ballad "Godless Run ", really creepy. To listen to ball especially for its super solos bring to mind those monster ballad of the late '80s, early '90s, that excites us even today.
It closes with" Promised Land "cover Chuck Berry incattivita by WASP until it becomes almost unrecognizable. Evolution or cover avoidable? to you will judge.
A great album-style WASP, which contains all the ingredients to be appreciated in the live and the only weakness in cover-filler, clear ploy to cover the small number of unpublished works.
The WASP will be Nov. 23 at Estragon in Bologna and Milan Alcatraz November 24: Due to the last two explosives work, and given the spectacular theatricality hued horror of their shows, let us a little thought!
