2LP - Black Vinyl. Wasp''s legendary fifth album 'The Crimson Idol' receives 2024 Reissue & Half-speed Remaster. 

W.A.S.P.'s legendary 1992 rock opera, 'The Crimson Idol', is now available as a stunning 2LP edition on Madfish Records - Mastered at half-speed for a superior audio experience, this reissue breathes new life into the tale of Jonathan Steel, the tragic, suicidal rock star whose rise & fall still echoes through the annals of heavy metal history.

This 2024 edition includes three bonus tracks: 'The Story Of Jonathan (Prologue To The Crimson Idol)', 'Phantoms In The Mirror' & 'The Eulogy'. With Blackie Lawless, Bob Kulick, Stet Howland & Frankie Banali delivering their most impassioned performances, 'The Crimson Idol' remains a milestone in the band's legendary career. Voted one of the Top 20 Concept Albums of All Time by Metal Hammer, 'The Crimson Idol' catapulted W.A.S.P. into the international spotlight, charting within the Top 40 in five countries & featuring the hit singles 'Chainsaw Charlie (Murders In The New Morgue)' & 'The Idol'.

Originally included in Madfish's limited edition 'The 7 Savage' W.A.S.P. boxset, 'The Crimson Idol' has now been pulled from the collection & released individually on 2LP vinyl--the ultimate standalone experience of this iconic rock opera. A rite of passage for fans old & new, 'The Crimson Idol' is a twisted tale that embodies the excess, pain & triumph of rock 'n' roll.

W.A.S.P. show no signs of slowing down as they celebrate the 40th anniversary of their explosive, eponymous debut this year. Fresh off of an extensive global tour marking four decades of their genre-defining sound, W.A.S.P. continue to dominate stages worldwide. With a relentless schedule of U.S. shows planned from October through December, the band remain as fierce & vital as ever.

This 2LP 2024 edition of 'The Crimson Idol' is pressed on black vinyl & is remastered at half-speed.
