2009, Season of Mist
In every generation there are a few albums that remain as a legacy of their time and grow to become milestones in the evolution of music. Christian Death's Catastrophe Ballet is such a landmark. This work is regarded as an archetype of the gothic scene and played an important part in its evolution. Late singer and band founder Rozz Williams broadened his charismatic vocal approach by adding melancholic singing in the vein of Lou Reed or David Bowie to his distinct rhythmical recitative. It was this album that was responsible for him gaining the title "The Father of Deathrock." The driving power behind the music was guitarist and singer Valor Kand, who has diligently restored the original sound and artwork, while carefully enhancing its sound by re-mastering the album with its integrity remaining untouched. As a bonus, the previously unreleased song "Beneath His Widow" featuring Rozz Williams on vocals has been added. A legendary work of art can finally be enjoyed in its full glory, as it was originally intended!
