W.A.S.P. was one of the more outrageous heavy metal acts of the '80s. In fact, the PMRC listed one of their songs amongst the "Filthy Fifteen." No one in the band was more outrageous than its frontman, Blackie Lawless. However, a number of years ago Blackie Lawless reconnected with the Christian faith of his youth. Since then, Christian themes have featured prominently in the band's lyrics. W.A.S.P.'s last album was the 2015 release, Golgotha. The song below is one of my favorite from that album and particularly appropriate for today.

This happens surprisingly often. Johnny Cash spent many years doing mostly gospel, which is often forgotten because almost none of those songs became popular.
