Originally released back in 1985,
Christian Death's classic
Live in Hollywood had finally been made available on CD (it was only previously available on cassette). It's disheartening that the year it's finally been re-issued,
Christian Death singer
Rozz Williams committed suicide. The band was one of the first goth/death/rock bands out there, and
Live in Hollywood is a fine example of how influential they were. The music can be comparable at times to
Bauhaus and early
Jane's Addiction, but
Christian Death was much more morbid and dark. Most of their classic tracks reside here, such as
"Awake at the Wall," "The Drowning," "Electra Descending," "The Blue Hour," as well as the out-of-control "Cavity," which makes it a highly recommended introduction to this great, far-reaching band.
