Hot on the heels of the return of Chris Holmes and the rising of W.A.S.P. from the ashes came this double live album, recorded on the K.F.D tour through 1997.
Double Live Assassins brilliantly captures the band live and in their element. The album, while containing quite a few songs from the latest album, still covers material covering the band's entire career, and while it is not a definitive song list, it does justice to W.A.S.P.'s greatness.
I have always been slightly suspicious of the vocal quality on this album – has there been any overdubbing? I have found no evidence either way to suggest they have or haven't. I am also not as taken with the songs from K.F.D, but you can't have everything, can you?!
I'll give you this though – this sounds bloody superb, especially at 200 decibels at 10.30pm in a deserted BP service station!!
Rating : As good a live album as you could wish to hear. 5/5.
