W.A.S.P. - Reidolized (2018)

Full title, Reidolized (The Soundtrack to The Crimson Idol), is a sixty-minute 'film' that accompanied W.A.S.P.'s re-recording of their fifth studio album, The Crimson Idol, which was originally released back in 1992.
Directed by Ralph Ziman, the 'film' is the album's songs with occasional v/o narration; i.e parts of The Story of Jonathan (Prologue to the Crimson Idol), included on the 1998 remaster of the 1992 concept album. It's basically an extended music video that got made and shelved back in the day. As such, it's the original track listing, with none of the 'lost' tracks on the re-recording.
If you've not already guessed, it's primarily something for W.A.S.P. fans, and will have very limited appeal outside of that demographic.
