About this album

The Last Command sharpened W.A.S.P.’s provocative hard rock and heavy metal into one of the band’s most forceful early statements. Released in 1985, their second album built on the shock tactics of the debut with tighter writing, bigger choruses and a harder-edged sense of melody that gave songs like Blind in Texas and Wild Child lasting impact. The record helped cement W.A.S.P.’s reputation in the mid-1980s metal scene, balancing sleaze, swagger and muscular riffing without losing commercial punch. For many listeners, it remains the album where the band’s outrageous image met their most durable hooks.
