Christian Death Artist Snapshot:

Emerging from the early-1980s L.A.-based Death Rock scene, Christian Death became one of the defining bands of the Goth movement. With a fairly basic punk/new wave sound; nihilistic, sacrilegious lyrics; and a dark and gloomy aesthetic, Christian Death inspired legions of depressed teenagers to turn to the proverbial dark side. Although the band went through several confusing line-up changes and were initially successful only in Europe, their influence can be seen far and wide in the U.S. and abroad.

Title Note

Christian Death includes: Rozz Williams, Gitane Demone (vocals); Valor.

Christian Death's second studio album, 1984's CATASTROPHE BALLET, finds frontman Rozz Williams leading an entirely different backing ensemble, one that notably included guitarist Valor Kand. Stepping away from the punk-leaning sound of the Los Angeles goth-rock group's earlier incarnation, this outing features the act opting for a slower, doom-laden aesthetic that allows Williams to delve deeper into the more subdued, despairing side of his dark-prince persona, as heard on "The Drowning" and "Cervix Couch." Easily one of the band's finest and gloriously gloomy records, CATASTROPHE is also noteworthy for sowing the seeds of the band's dissolution, with Kand later acrimoniously gaining control of the Christian Death name.
