A main difference is that while this older page features video files linked individually down the page - with broken links appearing over time - on the new page they are all included in a single large playlist window.

Often considered to be the vanguard of American goth rock, known as "deathrock", Christian Death was founded in 1978 by vocalist Rozz Williams in California. The original members fell apart after one album. Rozz was then joined by members of Australian-born Valor Kand's group Pompeii 99. Valor co-wrote and arranged the music from the second album Christian Death onwards. He became the group's leader (singer and song-writer) in 1985 after Rozz Williams quit. I term this post-Rozz phase the "CD mk3" lineup. Valor has written and produced 11 albums between 1985 and 2007 with many members coming and going. The music journeys from the early wailing deathrock-goth-rock through to later industrial-metal. The tracks featured below are Valor's compositions and productions, mostly with his vocals or as noted some feature female vocals and some feature Rozz. (I have posted some early CD, Rozz William's songs at the end, in honour of him.)
