A DEFINITIVE collection to celebrate the landmark release. Double Vinyl, Hardcover Book, Posters & Slipcase

Christian Death is an American gothic rock band formed in Orange County, California, in 1979 by Rozz Williams. Their 1982 debut album Only Theatre of Pain was highly influential in the development of the style of music known as deathrock, as well as on the American gothic scene. During this time legendary LA punk rock photographer Edward Colver befriended the band and shot Christian Death at a dozen of the band's concerts in the Los Angeles area during 1981 & 1982, as well as a shoot with the band at Rozz's family home which was later used for the album back cover of Only Theatre of Pain.
