Helldorado is the 1999 album by the American heavy metal band W.A.S.P.. The album did not receive great reviews and many of W.A.S.P.'s fans did not like vocalist Blackie Lawless's new 'screaming' approach. The songs live up to the traditional controversial W.A.S.P. style with titles such as "Dirty Balls" and "Don't Cry (Just Suck)". The seventh track, "Cocaine Cowboys", is a pro-cocaine anthem with the lyric "Cocaine cowboys never die!".
Helldorado is an alternative country rock band from Norway.

The band is virtually unknown in the United States, but they have a strong fanbase in their home country and Turkey.
Helldorado is a strategy video game released on April 30, 2009. It is the sequel to the 2006 game Desperados 2: Cooper's Revenge, continuing a plot development introduced in the final sequence of that game.
