Editorial Reviews
From The All Music Guide:
Originally released back in 1985, Christian Death's classic Live in Hollywood had finally been made available on CD (it was only previously available on cassette). It's disheartening that the year it's finally been re-issued, Christian Death singer Rozz Williams committed suicide. The band was one of the first goth/death/rock bands out there, and Live in Hollywood is a fine example of how influential they were. The music can be comparable at times to Bauhaus and early Jane's Addiction, but Christian Death was much more morbid and dark. Most of their classic tracks reside here, such as "Awake at the Wall," "The Drowning," "Electra Descending," "The Blue Hour," as well as the out-of-control "Cavity," which makes it a highly recommended introduction to this great, far-reaching band. — Greg Prato

This review is from: Decomposition of Violets - Live in Hollywood (Audio CD)
The recording isn't all that swell but the music still comes in super-awesome. Check out "Romeo's Distress."

Sounds like the Christian Death I love: artsy and charismatic. No shocking sounds here... well, nevermind. Theatre of Pain is done... differently. And done very well here. And the CD doesn't sound bad for a live production. Also, the CD has a nicely designed package. An interesting footnote in the veritable plethora of Christian Death releases.

Thank You,
By Joseph Adams "brother" (Superior, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Decomposition of Violets - Live in Hollywood (Audio CD)
All out of all the gothic/death/atlernative bands I used to like, Christian Death never really sold out. That was what they wanted all along- a mainstream audience. Thankfully Christian Death is banned most places and in Europe at least they stayed true. This is an excellent CD featuring Christian Death in its early 80s prime. When I first got this a couple years ago I thought the overall quality of the sound was really bad and I had a hard time understanding the lyrics because of it. But now I see it as the classic it is.
