10 years ago today a true pioneer and a great friend died off of Santa Monica Blvd. in the flats of Hollywood. He went by the name of Rozz Williams.
As any goth kid will tell ya, Rozz's Christian Death was truly unique and their first album and EP are flawless, the fact that Rozz and Rikk were mere teenagers and stands the test of time, says more than I could ever say. And if you had the good fortune of hearing this album when it came out, it was a really out there record, even from the punk rock/hardcore scene. The 1st record posted is a live album we did that I hear is out of print at this time, it was also filmed for a DVD that came from when we played around Los Angeles here and there and a full tour of America and Canada. On the 2nd post you have the "Deathwish" EP (their first release), as well as the first LP, "Only Theatre Of Pain" along with the track "Dogs" from the "Hell Comes To Your House" compilation. I would highly recommend this album to anyone if you have not heard it, even if you're not a fan of gothic music there was always something uniquely special about the original Christian Death. The guitar playing is unlike anything ever recorded up to that date, the bass player used a fret-less bass and played totally by feel, and Rozz's lyrics are far beyond his years and are a milestone in the annals of music history.
Rest In Peace my good friend...Rest In Peace...
