A band who is very misunderstood, who's history you could spend a lifetime reasearching, Christian Death is one of those bands that Frank Zappa would have spoken about against censorship in front of congress. I have listened to them since I was 14, and seen their music as very deep, and thought provoking.
Most people would be put off by their fans befor ever listening to the music, but if you like early 70s David Bowie, and a dark Goth rock kick with an orchestra, or in todays terms "That band, Evanesence" you would get these guys.
I interviewed Valor Kand who took over duties as frontman in 1985, and has been there ever since. He is nothing like the "Gloomy Doomy" kind of guy that you find in so many knock off bands who tried to emulate what he did, he is a pretty funny, thoughtful dude, who just likes singing about history.
The new album is called "Evil Becomes Rule", and it knocks it out of the park, but for a guy who has been making music for 40 years, you can imagine he has plenty to sing about.
