Editing W.A.S.P. (band) (section)

===''Dying for the World'' and the ''Neon God'' albums (2002–2005)===
''[[Dying for the World]]'', released in 2002, was written and recorded in less than a year which is very fast by Lawless' perfectionist standards. Its liner notes feature one of Lawless' strongest statements about political correctness, inspired by the [[September 11 attacks|9/11]] terrorist attacks.

In April 2004, W.A.S.P. released the first part of ''The Neon God'', subtitled ''[[The Neon God: Part 1 - The Rise|The Rise]]'', a conceptual album about an abused and orphaned boy who finds that he has the ability to read and manipulate people. The second part, ''[[The Neon God: Part 2 – The Demise|The Demise]]'', was released in September 2004.

In 2005, W.A.S.P. headlined American Metal Blast. A video shoot for the track "Never Say Die" was planned with Ward Boult, a [[sexual fetishism|fetish]] photographer, directing. To this day, there has been no news as to whether the shoot resulted in anything concrete. It would have been the first W.A.S.P. promo video in ten years, the last being 1995's "Black Forever".
