Although best known as the death-defying leader of the Plasmatics, Wendy O. Williams issued several albums on her own during the 1980s. And while her earlier band was a certified punk outfit, by this stage of her career, Williams was zeroing in on the heavy metal audience -- Gene Simmons had produced an earlier album, while the singer was spotted hosting a heavy metal video show on the USA cable channel. So by the time of 1986's Kommander of Kaos, Williams was knee-deep in metal. Once more, Simmons' name makes an appearance on a Williams record (not as a producer this time, but as a songwriter -- "Ain't None of Your Business"), while Williams covers Motörhead's "Jailbait," and the main riff of the album's opening "Hey Hey (Live to Rock)" is quite reminiscent of Mötley Crüe's "Live Wire." While Kommander of Kaos was probably just as good as just about anything else that theatrical-minded metallists were putting out that year (W.A.S.P., Lizzy Borden, etc.), Williams was much more convincing as a Mohawk-ed punker. ~ Greg Prato

Kommander Of Kaos Music Review


Customer Kommander Of Kaos Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars One of the Best 3-piece bands ever!
This is actually my favorite Wendy/Plasmatics record of all (although I like all of the last ones mostly from Coup D'Etat or Coup D'Grace on). I like it because the guitar, vocals are awesome. This is the only 3-piece line-up Wendy and the Plasmatics ever had so it's interesting from that point of view. Wes Beech produced along with Rod Swenson, and it would have been a perfect album if he'd played on it, but it is still groundbreaking. It's not as political as most of their stuff in the lyrics but the whole idea of a woman singing like this, fast and hard, is political enough to break all stereotypes and taboos.

Kommander Of Kaos
CD $12.39  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This two-fer reissue from New York shock merchants the Plasmatics makes for a somewhat odd pairing, with the band's most punk-friendly album, 1980's New Hope for the Wretched, matched up with the 1981 EP Metal Priestess, where the band made its first clear bid for acceptance by the world's heavy metal kids. Truth be told, the shift isn't as disorienting as some might expect; a listen to New Hope makes it clear guitarists Richie Stotts and Wes Beech already had at least one toe dipped in the hard rock pool from the very beginning, ...

Plasmatics Coup De Grace CD  (2000)

Kommander Of Kaos
CD $13.59  3.5 stars
This 2000 disc (re-released in 2002 by Plasmatics Media) constitutes the only album of fresh material from the Plasmatics since their disbanding in 1983. Fresh but not unfamiliar, Coup de Grace is made up of the demos for the band's 1982 release, Coup d'Etat. And as one might expect, it's raw and raunchy stuff. In toto, this is a somewhat uneven effort. Some songs are quite strong; others don't stack up so well. But what's always fascinating about the 'Matics is the band's sociopolitical rant-observations, which came at a time when most of the music world was dressing up in skinny ties ...
