American pioneers of dark sounds CHRISTIAN DEATH can rightfully claim to be the incarnation of Gothic music. When 'Atrocities' was originally released in 1986, it marked the transition after the decision of Rozz Williams to quit and Valor taking over as the leading figure in the band. The fourth CHRISTIAN DEATH album represents a daring artistic choice as the album mainly deals with the Holocaust in general and the death camp of Auschwitz and the murderous criminal medic Dr. Josef Mengele. Fifth full-length 'The Scriptures' is still regarded as an essential in the extensive canon of works by the legendary godfathers of gothic rock. Lyrically the record deals with the topic that Valor came to explore and criticise with nearly every following release: religion. The liner notes of the aptly titles 'The Scriptures' declare that this work is "a translation of world believes by Valor”.
