Early Christian Death demos recorded in 1981, before Only Theatre of Pain
Deluxe red and gold splatter vinyl edition of the Deathwish EP
For fans of: 45 Grave, early T.S.O.L., Bauhaus
Deathwish documents Christian Death before their debut album, with recordings made in 1981 and first issued as an EP in 1984. Rozz Williams’ voice and the band’s jagged guitar sound place it at the meeting point of Los Angeles punk and the deathrock style taking shape around it. The recordings have the immediacy of a band still defining its approach.
For listeners drawn to the first era of Christian Death, these demos offer another view of the ideas surrounding Only Theatre of Pain: uneasy atmosphere, theatrical vocals and punk momentum working together. This deluxe edition presents the early material on red and gold splatter vinyl.
