We also talk to Rhabstallion, Rezet, Brave Rival, Millie Manders & The Shutup, Patriarchs In Black, Stuka Squadron, Tantrum, Mojo Thunder, Druidess, Eddie & The Wolves, Yaki Dah, Warhog, and Chemical Storm, plus following the announcement that they will be playing the whole of their debut album on their latest tour we revisit some classics when we rank W.A.S.P.’s albums.
