The Headless Children
The central idea of The Headless Children is not subtle — humanity without conscience, societies driven by ideology rather than empathy, and individuals reduced to instruments of power.

Released in 2007, Dominator marks one of the heaviest and most aggressive chapters in W. A. S. P.’s discography. The album reflects a band fully aware of its legacy, yet unwilling to rely on nostalgia. Instead, Dominator delivers a modern, confrontational sound that blends classic W. A. S. P. intensity with sharper production and a darker lyrical tone shaped by the geopolitical and social climate of the mid 2000s.
Released in 2002, Dying for the World is one of the darkest and most aggressive albums in the W. A. S. P. discography. Written in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the album reflects a world shaken by violence, fear, and ideological conflict. Under the direction of Blackie Lawless, W. A. S. P. channels anger and disillusionment into a raw, uncompromising heavy metal statement that confronts war, fanaticism, and the cost of blind belief.
“ Cut Out the Disease” is a hard hitting heavy metal track that highlights Saxon’s sharp sense of social and political commentary. Using medical imagery as a metaphor, the song addresses themes of corruption, decay, and the urgent need to remove harmful influences before they destroy the whole system. The lyrics are direct and confrontational, reflecting Saxon’s tradition of combining classic metal power with messages that challenge complacency.
