0 Comments

W.A.S.P. are currently on their Re-Idolized – The Crimson Idol 25th Anniversary World Tour, which kicked off on September 25th in Gothenburg, Sweden. Fan-filmed video from the complete kick-off show is available below.

Brazilian drummer Aquiles Priester made his live debut with W.A.S.P. this show.

Aquiles said in a statement: “I’m very happy to announce that I will be touring Europe this fall with W.A.S.P. It’s a huge honor to be part of the ‘Re-Idolized’ tour. ‘The Crimson Idol’ is one of the most important progressive concept albums in the history of heavy metal music. I would also like to extend my gratitude to W.A.S.P.: Blackie [Lawless, guitar/vocals], Mike [Duda, bass] and Doug [Blair, guitar]. Thank you, for having me aboard on this tour. I’ve learned a lot from all three of you.”

Born in South Africa, Priester has collaborated with such bands and solo artists as AngraHangarMidas FatePrimal FearPaul Di’Anno (ex-Iron Maiden), Tony MacAlpine and Vinnie Moore. He is also known for having participated in the widely talked-about Dream Theater drummer audition which took place after Mike Portnoy had left the band. It was after that event that Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci recommended Priester to another great guitar virtuoso, Tony MacAlpine.

Priester has released three educational publications: the book “Inside My PsychoBook: 100 Double Bass Patterns” (2011) as well as two DVDs, titled “The Infallible Reason Of My Freak Drumming” (2010) and “Top 100 Drum Fills” (2013).

Drummer Mike Dupke left W.A.S.P. in 2015 after a nine-year stint with the band. He was initially replaced on the road by Yngwie Malmsteen drummer Patrick Johansson and, later, by Randy Black (Primal Fear).

Napalm Records will release “Re-Idolized”, the twenty-fifth-anniversary version of W.A.S.P.‘s iconic hit album plus the original “The Crimson Idol” movie on DVD and Blu-ray.

“Re-Idolized” will be made available on Blu-ray, DVD, CD, and vinyl later this year.

W.A.S.P.’s latest album “Golgotha” has been released on October 2nd. 2015 via Austria’s Napalm Records. Our review of “Golgotha” can be found here.
