Season of Mist

Christian Death is a death rock band formed in October 1979 in Los Angeles, California. The group was founded by vocalist Rozz Williams, bassist James McGearty, drummer George Belanger, and guitarist Jay from the previous band Daucus Karota. After going on hiatus briefly in 1981, they reformed with Rikk Agnew replacing Jay on guitar. Over the years, there were several lineup changes and tensions within the band. In 1985, Rozz left just before a European tour, leaving Valor as the sole proprietor of Christian Death.

In 1991, Valor's second wife Maitri joined the project and this new version of Christian Death combined dark heavy metal influences with Gothic rock. Meanwhile, Rozz and Rikk Agnew also played reunion shows using the name Christian Death but faced legal issues with Valor over ownership of the band name. Unfortunately, Rozz committed suicide in 1998.

Despite these challenges, Valor and Maitri continue to record and tour as Christian Death today. Their music is characterized by classical forays mixed with Gothic rock elements that have made them one of the most influential bands in their genre.

New Wave / Post Punk

Death rock pioneers, Christian Death, see the reissue of their long out-of-print 1985 EP ‘The Wind Kissed Pictures.’ The endeavor features the vocal debut of Valor Kand, and marked the start of a new era for the revolutionary band. This expanded edition includes the companion 'Lacrima Christi' 7" feat. the track in both its English &amp; Italian versions, as well as three additional tracks from that era. ‘The Wind Kissed Pictures’ was way ahead of its time, and it further proves that the bulk of modern dark music still exists under the shadow of their influence.
