A real classic Leader Blackie Lawless (bass/vocals) was already a rock n roll veteran when he relocated to the West Coast and founded W.A.S.P. with guitarists Chris Holmes and Randy Piper and drummer Tony Richards. The band soon established a reputation as a ferocious live act, thanks in large part to Lawless habits of tying a semi-naked model to a torture rack and throwing raw meat into the audience. And with the release of their self-explanatory independent EP, Animal (F**k Like a Beast), W.A.S.P. became impossible to ignore. This hyped and controversial debut EP became a collector’s item and it sold thousands of copies via mail order throughout the ’80s. The two tracks ‘Animal (F**k Like a Beast)’ and ‘Show No Mercy’ were much in the same vein as their coming album and would have perfectly fit snugly on W.A.S.P.’s debut album.

1. Animal (F**k Like A Beast)
