Few albums from a generation can stand the test of time, let alone become the archetype of a genre and measure by which all others are judged. Christian Death’s landmark album ‘Catastrophe Ballet’ is such a recording and a cornerstone of the Gothic/Deathrock/PostPunk/early punk scenes. Led by the charismatic, iconic singer Rozz Williams and guitarist Valor Kand, Christian Death broke ranks from their LA punk rock surroundings, and eschewed raw anger for an elegant, romantic and hypnotic form of art of the likes not heard before.
