Background notes
Archive material and source history
Chris Holmes first appeared in New York's late-70s rock scene, known for a raw guitar approach that caught attention. In 1982, he joined W.A.S.P., a heavy metal band whose theatrical shows and provocative lyrics made them notorious during that period. His playing became part of their sound on albums like 1984's 'The Last Command,' which included the track '(Walking On) Landmines.'
After leaving W.A.S.P. in 1992, Holmes worked on solo material. He put out albums such as 'Wake the Sleeper' in 1996 and 'Deadhead' the following year. Some of his later songs include 'All The Stars In Heaven' and 'China,' which appear among his recorded work.
