Christian Death Music
Artist Overview
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.
