Regardless of who was leading or ▓ªª ªª▓ performing in the group, Christian Death set themselves up to shock, both in their cover art ▓ªª ªª▓ and their lyrics, which wallowed in blasphemy, morbidity, drug use, and sexual perversity. ▓ªª ªª▓ Their self-consciously controversial tactics set them apart from the British goth scene, ▓ªª ªª▓ having more to do with L.A. punk and heavy metal, and thus the band dubbed its sound "death ▓ªª ªª▓ rock" instead; however, their sensibility was ultimately similar enough that the "goth" ▓ªª ªª▓ designation stuck in the end. Their music also relied on slow, doomy, effects-laden guitar ▓ªª ªª▓ riffs and ambient horror-soundtrack synths, and their theatrical performances were strongly ▓ªª ªª▓ influenced by British glam rockers like David Bowie and Roxy Music, as well as industrial ▓ªª ªª▓ provocateurs Throbbing Gristle. The latter was especially true of the band's first ▓ªª ªª▓ incarnation, led by vocalist and founder Rozz Williams, who masterminded much of what many ▓ªª ªª▓ critics consider their best work. When Williams left in 1985, guitarist Valor Kand took over ▓ªª ªª▓ leadership and sent the group in a more intellectual, political, and metal-oriented ▓ªª ªª▓ direction. A subsequent dispute over ownership of the Christian Death name led to a bitter ▓ªª ªª▓ feud between the two, not to mention competing versions of the group, leading many of their ▓ªª ªª▓ fans to take sides. The unconverted tended to dismiss Christian Death no matter who was ▓ªª ªª▓ involved; critics often found their poetry florid and overwrought, their subject matter ▓ªª ªª▓ self-important, and their shock tactics ham-handed. Nevertheless, Christian Death had an ▓ªª ªª▓ enormous influence on the American goth scene, shaping the sensibility of countless goth, ▓ªª ªª▓ metal, and even industrial acts that followed. Sadly, the Kand-Williams dispute ended in ▓ªª ªª▓ tragedy in 1998, when a heroin-addicted Williams took his own life. ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ Rozz Williams (born Roger Alan Painter, November 6, 1963) founded Christian Death in Los ▓ªª ªª▓ Angeles in 1979, having grown up in the eastern suburb of Pomona in a Christian family. ▓ªª ªª▓ Originally, the 16-year-old Williams called his group the Upsetters, which also included ▓ªª ªª▓ guitarist Jay, bassist James McGearty, and drummer George Belanger. The band didn't really ▓ªª ªª▓ take off until it changed its name to Christian Death (reportedly inspired by a goof on ▓ªª ªª▓ designer Christian Dior's name) and added onetime Adolescents guitarist Rikk Agnew. In 1981, ▓ªª ªª▓ they made their recorded debut with several tracks on the L.A. scene compilation Hell Comes ▓ªª ªª▓ to Your House, which also featured the more tongue-in-cheek death rock compatriots .45 ▓ªª ªª▓ Grave. Hooking up with Frontier Records, Christian Death issued their debut album, the goth ▓ªª ªª▓ landmark Only Theatre of Pain, in 1982. Featuring genre touchstones like "Romeo's Distress" ▓ªª ªª▓ and "Spiritual Cramp," the record also included guest vocals from Superheroines leader Eva ▓ªª ªª▓ O. (born Eva Oritz), who would become Williams' wife and semiregular collaborator in 1987. ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ Having already booked a European tour, the original lineup of Christian Death splintered ▓ªª ªª▓ amid infighting and drug abuse. Williams quickly assembled a new version of the band in 1983 ▓ªª ªª▓ by merging with their scheduled opening act, another L.A. death rock band called Pompeii 99, ▓ªª ªª▓ and eventually settled on retaining the more evocative Christian Death name. Australian-born ▓ªª ªª▓ guitarist Valor Kand, keyboardist/vocalist Gitane Demone, and drummer David Glass joined ▓ªª ªª▓ with Williams to create the best-known Christian Death lineup (bassist Constance Smith was ▓ªª ªª▓ also onboard, but was soon replaced on the tour by the Sex Gang Children's Dave Roberts). ▓ªª ªª▓ While overseas, the group recorded the second Christian Death album, Catastrophe Ballet, ▓ªª ªª▓ another much-revered goth rock record that appeared on the French label L'Invitation au ▓ªª ªª▓ Suicide in 1984. Returning to the U.S., the band formed its own label, Nostradamus, and the ▓ªª ªª▓ Valor/Rozz lineup issued its second album together, Ashes, in 1985, once again to an ▓ªª ªª▓ enthusiastic reception from goth fans. A live album, The Decomposition of Violets, was ▓ªª ªª▓ culled from the supporting tour (with second guitarist Barry Galvin now in tow) and released ▓ªª ªª▓ by ROIR. ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ By this time, Christian Death were drawing predictable fire from religious groups in the ▓ªª ªª▓ U.S. over their lyrics, artwork, and concert performances, and were finding it easier to ▓ªª ªª▓ mount tours for their growing European fan base. In mid-1985, Rozz Williams left the band ▓ªª ªª▓ he'd founded, partly due to his increasing interest in experimental music and surrealist ▓ªª ªª▓ performance art. Valor Kand took over leadership of Christian Death, now serving as lead ▓ªª ªª▓ vocalist and songwriter. Reportedly, Kand and Williams had agreed to rename the existing ▓ªª ªª▓ band Sin and Sacrifice; however, on the ensuing tour of Italy, fans assumed they were still ▓ªª ªª▓ watching Christian Death. Defrauded and left penniless by the tour promoter, the band ▓ªª ªª▓ recorded a quick EP for the Italian label Supporti Fonografici called The Wind Kissed ▓ªª ªª▓ Pictures, which was credited to The Sin and Sacrifice of Christian Death in order for fans ▓ªª ªª▓ to know whom they were buying. The band raised enough money to return to England, which they ▓ªª ªª▓ made their permanent base; meanwhile, The Wind Kissed Pictures was issued in the ▓ªª ªª▓ English-speaking world under the Christian Death name, as once again few people comprehended ▓ªª ªª▓ the change. Williams, meanwhile, all but dropped out of sight for several years, eventually ▓ªª ªª▓ resurfacing in side ventures like Premature Ejaculation, Heltir, and Shadow Project (the ▓ªª ªª▓ latter with his wife Eva O.). ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ Now settled in England, Christian Death added bassist Johann Schumann and returned to the ▓ªª ªª▓ Welsh studio where they'd cut Catastrophe Ballet. Their first post-Williams effort was ▓ªª ªª▓ 1986's Atrocities, a concept album about the aftereffects of World War II on the European ▓ªª ªª▓ psyche. Their next project was Jesus Christ Proudly Presents Christian Death, a box set of ▓ªª ªª▓ concert EPs from 1986 and early 1987. The proper follow-up to Atrocities was even more ▓ªª ªª▓ conceptually ambitious; 1987's The Scriptures was Kand's musical treatise on comparative ▓ªª ªª▓ religion, and surrounded him with a revamped lineup of Demone, Glass, guitarist James Beam, ▓ªª ªª▓ and bassist Kota. The Scriptures marked the beginning of Christian Death's evolution into a ▓ªª ªª▓ mouthpiece for Kand's one-man crusade against political corruption and organized religion ▓ªª ªª▓ (the Catholic Church in particular). His liner notes explained his elaborate intellectual ▓ªª ªª▓ concepts in painstaking detail, and he increasingly used interviews as a platform to launch ▓ªª ªª▓ vitriolic attacks on his favorite targets. ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ Longtime drummer David Glass left the group following the release of The Scriptures, and ▓ªª ªª▓ returned to California, where he eventually worked with several of Rozz Williams' side ▓ªª ªª▓ projects. That whittled Christian Death down to a quartet for the 1988 single "Church of No ▓ªª ªª▓ Return," one of their more accessible efforts. Despite the group's more intellectual bent, ▓ªª ªª▓ they weren't above resorting to the calculated offensiveness of old; the cover of their 1988 ▓ªª ªª▓ LP Sex and Drugs and Jesus Christ depicted Jesus shooting heroin. The ensuing furor helped ▓ªª ªª▓ make the album the group's biggest seller; it also saw them evolving into a more basic, ▓ªª ªª▓ straightforward goth metal band. In 1989, with new second guitarist Nick the Bastard ▓ªª ªª▓ onboard, the group issued the concert document The Heretics Alive. Gitane Demone ▓ªª ªª▓ subsequently left the band, not to mention her longtime lover Valor Kand, citing ▓ªª ªª▓ dissatisfaction with his new direction; she relocated to Amsterdam and pursued a jazz ▓ªª ªª▓ singing career. ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ With Demone's departure, the always-unstable Christian Death lineup splintered completely, ▓ªª ªª▓ leaving Kand essentially a solo auteur despite continued instrumental assistance from Nick ▓ªª ªª▓ the Bastard. In 1989, Kand completed another far-reaching concept opus, All the Love All the ▓ªª ªª▓ Hate, which was released in two separate full-length LP installments that covered "love" and ▓ªª ªª▓ "hate" themes respectively. The latter featured one of the band's more notorious latter-day ▓ªª ªª▓ cuts in "I Hate You," a profane tirade by Valor and Demone's five-year-old son Sevan Kand; ▓ªª ªª▓ its artwork also utilized Nazi imagery to a somewhat ill-defined end. Nick the Bastard ▓ªª ªª▓ subsequently departed, and bereft of any backup, Kand turned his attention to archival ▓ªª ªª▓ material; 1990 saw the release of the demos/outtakes compilation Insanus, Ultio, Proditio, ▓ªª ªª▓ Misericordiaque, and 1992 brought the Valor Kand-era singles retrospective Jesus Points the ▓ªª ªª▓ Bone at You?. ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ Meanwhile, a penniless Rozz Williams had resurrected his own version of Christian Death ▓ªª ªª▓ during the late '80s, with his wife Eva O. contributing guitar as well as the band's ▓ªª ªª▓ signature female vocals. Billing themselves as the original Christian Death, they were ▓ªª ªª▓ rejoined by first-album guitarist Rikk Agnew for a 1989 tour of Canada. Despite the dubious ▓ªª ªª▓ legality of Williams' use of the Christian Death name, his efforts attracted the interest of ▓ªª ªª▓ the goth-oriented Cleopatra Records label. In 1992, with Valor's version of the band in ▓ªª ªª▓ recording hibernation, Williams issued The Iron Mask as Christian Death, its title a pointed ▓ªª ªª▓ reference to the Alexandre Dumas novel about a usurper who imprisons the rightful heir to ▓ªª ªª▓ the throne. He and Eva O. were joined by bassist Listo and drummer David Melford, and most ▓ªª ªª▓ of the repertoire dated from Williams' first three albums with the original band. The ▓ªª ªª▓ similarly conceived Skeleton Kiss EP appeared on its heels. An all-new studio effort, The ▓ªª ªª▓ Path of Sorrows, followed in 1993, with a new lineup behind Williams and O.: keyboardist ▓ªª ªª▓ Paris, multi-instrumentalist William Faith, and drummer Stevyn Grey. In June that year, ▓ªª ªª▓ Williams re-formed most of the early Christian Death lineup -- bringing back Rikk Agnew ▓ªª ªª▓ (once again) and George Belanger, with support from guitarist Frank Agnew and bassist Casey ▓ªª ªª▓ Chaos -- for a one-off show in Los Angeles. The result was released in 1994 by Triple X as ▓ªª ªª▓ the live album Iconologia. ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ Williams' reclamation of the Christian Death name sparked a fierce court battle with Valor ▓ªª ªª▓ Kand, who eventually won trademark rights and forced Williams to bill his version of the ▓ªª ªª▓ band as "Christian Death Featuring Rozz Williams." In part to keep his rival from stealing ▓ªª ªª▓ his thunder, Kand assembled a new Christian Death of his own, centered around himself and ▓ªª ªª▓ new wife Maitri on bass and vocals. He returned with 1994's Sexy Death God, which many ▓ªª ªª▓ longtime fans greeted as his best and tightest effort in quite some time. Confusingly, ▓ªª ªª▓ Williams' Christian Death also issued a new album that year, The Rage of Angels, which found ▓ªª ªª▓ its leader dabbling in spoken word at times. A steady stream of archival reissues -- live ▓ªª ªª▓ material, outtakes, remixes, etc. -- from throughout the band's history also began to appear ▓ªª ªª▓ on Cleopatra. ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ Adding guitarist Flick and drummer Steve Wright, Valor's Christian Death picked up their ▓ªª ªª▓ recording pace, offering the double live set Amen in 1995, and returning to the ambitious ▓ªª ªª▓ concept works of old with 1996's Nostradamus-themed Prophecies. As it turned out, Williams' ▓ªª ªª▓ version would not release another full album of original material. He pursued several other ▓ªª ªª▓ projects, including a duo album with Gitane Demone (1995's Dream Home Heartache) and a ▓ªª ªª▓ spoken word examination of his heroin addiction (1996's The Whorse's Mouth). That addiction ▓ªª ªª▓ would help claim his life on April 1, 1998, when the 34-year-old Williams hanged himself in ▓ªª ªª▓ his West Hollywood apartment. He was mourned by a still-devoted cult of fans, and even Valor ▓ªª ªª▓ Kand put aside his previous animosity to dedicate that year's Pornographic Messiah album to ▓ªª ªª▓ Williams, going so far as to draw from some of Williams' more experimental influences. ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ Kand's Christian Death soldiered on, issuing the two-disc singles/outtakes compilation The ▓ªª ªª▓ Bible in 1999. In 2000, they added drummer Will "Was" Sarginson (ex-Cradle of Filth and ▓ªª ªª▓ Blood Divine) and toured Europe alongside Britain's Cradle of Filth, one of the more popular ▓ªª ªª▓ black metal bands of their time. The two groups got along well enough for several Cradle ▓ªª ªª▓ members to guest on Christian Death's 2001 album Born Again Anti Christian, helping it ▓ªª ªª▓ become one of the most metallic records in their catalog. The following year, bassist Maitri ▓ªª ªª▓ issued the black metal-influenced solo album Lover of Sin (confusingly labeled on the cover ▓ªª ªª▓ as "Christian Death Presents..."). In 2003, Cradle of Filth guitarist Gian Pyres officially ▓ªª ªª▓ joined Christian Death for their European tour. ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ --- ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ This is he greatest goth recording ever produced. Rozz Williams has a beautiful dark soul ▓ªª ªª▓ and voice, may he rest in peace. If you want to listen to some music that will stir up every ▓ªª ªª▓ emotion and feeling that you have, then this is your album. If after listening to this you ▓ªª ªª▓ dont fall in love with gothic music and feeling, well then you might be dead ▓ªª ªª▓ already....hopefully :) ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓ ▓ªª ªª▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ªª ªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªª ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ªXª A B O U T ªXª¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬ªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªª¬¬ ¬¬ª ª¬¬ ¬¬ª Do you like this release ?
