The Crimson Idol was released on May 24th, 1992 and saw a remastered version emerge in 98′. This being the band’s fifth studio album, reached the top 40 in over five countries. This was also one of the bands first attempts of a concept album which tells of the rise and fall of fictional rock star Jonathan Steel.
Originally set out as a solo project for W.A.S.P frontman, Blackie Lawless, the vocalist succumbed to fan pressure and released it under the W.A.S.P name. Check out the album in its entirety below;
