Just getting into these guys after seeing some of their stuff on classic rock shows like Wild Child another fun time band who you don't have to take seriously to enjoy.  Here's some recent news anyway from knac.com :

W.A.S.P. Unveils Climactic Conclusion of The Neon God Saga

Part 2 due on Sanctuary/Metal-Is Records September 28th

W.A.S.P. frontman Blackie Lawless is quite possibly the busiest man in hard rock currently. Having just completed a nationwide and European tour in support of the first act of the band?s 2004 2-part conceptual opus The Neon God, W.A.S.P. is planning yet another run around the world to support the forthcoming conclusion of said epic entitled The Neon God Part 2: The Demise, which is slated for release through Sanctuary/Metal-Is Records on September 28th.

Produced & mixed during this summer, Blackie was ardent in his mission to make The Neon God Part 2: The Demise as potent and intense as its story dictates, so much so, that he was flying back & forth between venues and his Fort Apache studios in Burbank, CA during the first two weeks of the band?s summer tour! The Neon God addresses a tale of deep emotional quandary and revelation, the intoxication of power and the consequences of corruption. It is a story that everyone has experienced at one time or another - the need to belong, the quest for love, the desire for control, and the futility of vanity. Lawless, forthright and ever evolving as a musician and a human being, drew influence for the album?s concept through extensive observation of the world and numerous soul-searching journeys through the deserts of America?s Southwest.

Deplorably renowned for his lewd behavior coming up through a music community where ?excess? meant ?success?, Lawless frequently engages in musical endeavors that strip his soul and offer glimpses of the man beneath. In a way, each progressing W.A.S.P. release is another chapter in the uncompromising life of Lawless. With a catalogue spanning nearly 20 years, early titles, such as the self-titled debut and The Last Command represent youth and the indulgence of freedom. Releases like The Crimson Idol, Unholy Terror, and Dying for the World peel the blinders from society?s eyes and reveal humanistic truths and offer foresight into an unwritten future.

Ambitious in design, but no less persuasive than previous work, W.A.S.P. has reached a milestone many years in the making. The powerful, high-emotion story is set to the backdrop of W.A.S.P?s trademark nail-biting, theatrical style, from the guitar and soul-searing vocal performance of Blackie Lawless to the intense percussion work of returning drummer Stet Howland, the bludgeoning bass work of Mike Duda, and the rampaging lead guitar styling of Darrell Roberts.

A second leg of The Neon God World Tour is anticipated to commence in early October, bringing yet another inimitable performance to rabid, music hungry fans, for a W.A.S.P. concerts are no average performances. As Orlando Weekly humbly states, ?they know that ?rock show? is comprised of two equally important words.?

Traditionally W.A.S.P stands for White Anglo Saxon Protestant, it was a common term when such things mattered, largely an American term, it came up in some damn course i did on race realtions in America.
