Buzzsaw-codpieced Born-Again Blackie Lawless later refused to play the hit about fornicating like a metazoa and guitarist Chris Holmes’ booze-soaked interview in The Decline of Western Civilization Part II may be one of the most tragic moments ever put to film, but these Empire Pictures regulars’ first record still shows no mercy. “I Wanna Be Somebody,” “L.O.V.E. Machine,” and “Sleeping (in the Fire)” bring a B-movie charm to the genre. Like their plastic skeleton versus the real skull King Diamond used to bring on stage, their horror shtick wasn’t that scary compared to other acts, but it’s positively terrifying by glam metal standards!
