> W.A.S.P.
Blackie Lawless & Co is one of those bands that Sweden, and not least the SRF-crowd, never seems to get enough of. When W.A.S.P.'s eponymous debut arrived in 1984, Sweden was one of the regions where the band's glam-laden heavy metal caused the biggest sensation and where their spectacular horror show rattled the parental generation the most. Since then, W.A.S.P. have kept releasing albums that remain popular to this day, but obviously that earliest period is still very special to the band's fans.
Now here's a reason for them to cheer - W.A.S.P.'s set list at SRF 2010 will consist EXCLUSIVELY of songs from the two first albums W.A.S.P. and The Last Command! Nothing but golden oldies like 'I Wanna Be Somebody', 'Wild Child', 'Blind in Texas' and 'LOVE Machine' throughout the entire show - how's that for a great gift to every devoted W.A.S.P. fan out there?

We have been working together on a few things for some time, but to now partner up and make things official only feels right. They have the same drive and motivation to move forward in this industry as we do, and we could not be more pleased. With a work ethic like that expect big things from Team AATM and Fallen Martyr”
Alex Gilbert (Team AATM – Owner) comments: “Tom and I have been in touch for some time now, and I’m extremely proud to announce a partnership with Dark Knight Management, to where the two of us combined will strive for maximum output. On the Fallen Martyr side of things, the dudes are rock stars, really! From their crushing technicality, soaring leads, and classically trained vocals, Fallen Martyr gives the whole package, getting the most out of their melodies, crafting quality songs from start to finish. I’m stoked to be helping on the PR side, as well as lending a hand in booking."
