Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released on April 15, 1989, 'The Headless Children' marked W.A.S.P.'s fourth studio album and a significant artistic shift following the commercial success of their previous release, 'Inside the Electric Circus'. At this point, the band was striving for a more mature sound and depth in their lyrics, moving away from the overtly provocative themes of earlier works.
