Though they hail from sunny and sleazy Los Angeles, Christian Death are often connected to the gloomy and seductive wave of rock music that poured out of the UK during the ’70s. Of course, the band always stood out from this scene with their shocking lyrics, creepy synths and doom-laden riffs. But their gloomy and glam aesthetic has still enshrined them as pioneers of gothic subculture for more than 40 years.
The legendary harbingers of death rock, CHRISTIAN DEATH, have announced their most ambitious venture yet – the Armageddon Tour 2024. Poised to set stages ablaze across Europe, CHRISTIAN DEATH invites fans to witness the embodiment of their darkly poetic artistry in a live spectacle that promises to be nothing short of apocalyptic.
Thank god that Christian Death will never die. Their debut album is still held up as the Holy Grail of death rock, though their doomy riffs and sinisterly slow synths have made them the rotten apple of every goth’s made-up eye. Heck, name another band that could ride “Sex and Drugs and Jesus Christ” to the top of MTV, VH1 and the UK charts.
