Los Angeles, United States (1979 – present)
Officially there have been over 30 musicians involved with the band. Therefore a historical litany of them all would be impractical.
Formed in Los Angeles and fronted by 16 year old vocalist/lyricist Rozz Williams,the name was a corruption of fashion designer Christian Dior’s name. the band released the first album “Only Theatre Of Pain in 1982. A dark, sinister style of punk rock. The album gained local success. A year later the band completely broke up.
Singer Rozz then teamed up with members from the band “Pompeii 99’ founded by singer, guitarist, song writer Valor.
Rozz took over vocals leaving Valor to focus on guitar. Pompeii 99, the band had released one album “Look At Yourself” to much acclaim, which had an apocalyptic theme with a punk rock flavor. Pompeii 99 had been planning their first tour when it was proposed by their French record company, to merge Pompeii 99 into a new version of Christian Death which after some debate was agreed upon. Thus, began the new Christian Death and the first Pompeii 99 tour became the first Christian Death tour.
Part way through the tour the band stopped in Wales to record songs, some of which were originally intended for the next Pompeii 99 album. The fusion of which led to the unique sound of the classic “Catastrophe Ballet”.
Like the first Pompeii 99 album, Catastrophe Ballet had an apocalyptic theme, however the music morphed into something not quite Pompeii 99 and nothing like the first Christian Death album. After the tour the band returned to LA to later record the 3rd Christian Death album”Ashes”which was a post apocalyptic vision of a cold and bleak future.

1. Вообще-то первый альбом писался четырьмя людьми, а за сочинение музыки нужно благодарить Рикка Эгню. Розз всего лишь вокалист и сочинитель текстов. 2. Вэлор стал петь не после смерти Розза, а ещё в 85-м году, когда Розз ушёл из группы. Позже Розз решил собрать ещё одну группу с названием Christian Death, в итоге их стало 2.

Ха, чуваки, не совсем верно. Вообще-то название "Christian Death" изначально было за Роззом, и если бы он не был таким слюнтяем-похуистом то в суде ему бы отдали название (тк. первый и наиболее успешный альбом группы "Только театр Боли" Розз ваще писал в одиночку и это уже был Christian Death). Только в суд он не обращался, а решил забить. А м-ль Кант не решил, а обратился в суд и название отдали ему.
