Helldorado is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band W.A.S.P., released in 1999. In a 2025 interview with eonmusic, Blackie Lawless said that the album's sound was a reaction to their previous release, Kill Fuck Die. "Helldorado was a rebellion, if you like, against what we had just gone through. It's like we don't want to go back to that place, we don't want to go back inside that pit, it's like; "we're out, we're going to have a celebration", and so that's really what Helldorado was; it was a celebration of getting your freedom back, getting your life back".
