![]() Then on April 1st of 1998, took his own life, hanging himself from a kitchen cabinet. From there on ROZZ released several solo/spoken word albums, as well as releasing material by EXP, HELTIR, and DAUCUS KAROTA. Then both projects collapsed simultaneously. ROZZ’S “new” CHRISTIAN DEATH released three studio albums, as did SHADOW PROJECT *(primarily EVA O.’s creation, this was definitely the stronger of the 2 acts, in my opinion). ROZZ was simultaneously releasing and touring with he and wife EVA O.’s SHADOW PROJECT *(both bands had essentially the same lineups). CHRISTIAN DEATH ASHES RAR SERIESEventually he had to release material under CHRISTIAN DEATH FEATURING ROZZ WILLIAMS, after a series of court disputes he could not afford. VALOR had been releasing and performing under the name for years, ignoring an agreement with ROZZ over the use of the name. He had been performing occasionally with an experimental/noise project called PREMATURE EJACULATION, since 1981, and went back to creating bizarre material with that project until 1987, when he reformed another CHRISTIAN DEATH. ROZZ had a psychotic-break of some kind and quit the band right before a major tour, somehow making it back to the U.S. In 1985, due to bad contractual deals, they were stranded there, broke (despite their popularity), strung-out, and in a pretty dark place. This version of the band went on to record two amazing and quite different sounding albums, being incredibly well received in Europe and invariably relocating there. Then ROZZ reformed CHRISTIAN DEATH in 1983 with the remnants of a band called POMPEII 99, featuring a guitarist named VALOR and his keyboardist girlfriend, GITANE DEMONE. Not too soon after, due to drug issues, creative conflicts, and lineup changes in ‘82, they broke up. By 1981 CHRISTIAN DEATH had become a fully (dys)functional unit, releasing the blasphemously brilliant and classic “ONLY THEATER OF PAIN” Lp. RIKK AGNEW took over guitar and assisted with music-writing duties. With the guitarist from DAUCUS KAROTA they eventually formed CHRISTIAN DEATH *(a clever bust on CHRISTIAN DIOR) in 1979. They were THE CRAWLERS, NO, THE UPSETTERS, THE ASEXUALS, and DAUCUS KAROTA *(a name he would use again many years later). At 16 he started performing and playing with various bands, none of which released anything. He was raised in a strict Southern Baptist household, of which I’m sure planted the seeds of the beautiful blasphemy and art that was to come. But was it truly ROZZ I had met, or his moods and the demons lurking within?Ī brief overview for anyone not familiar: ROZZ WILLIAMS was born ROGER ALAN PAINTER on November 6, 1963. This is instead about ROZZ WILLIAMS, whom I had met twice in his often varying states of mind, before his suicide April 1st, 1998. That was already covered here back in October, in my 4 part CHRISTIAN DEATH feature, AN ORAL HISTORY OF AURAL HORROR. 1 out of 5 stars 1.This article is not about CHRISTIAN DEATH, nor is it about the ROZZ/VALOR debacle *(get over it), or anything of that nature.
