Drowning, Theatre of Pain, Cavity, The Blue Hour, Electra
Descending, As Evening Falls, Face, Cervix Couch, This Glass

in search of a shocking story and cheap thrills have

scene. Christian Death evokes a broad range of moods, from
laments or morbidity to surprisingly tender love lyrics". - Robert Palmer, NY Times
