About This Album
Over the years, Christian Death have epitomized what could be called the "revolving door syndrome" in rock -- in other words, the band has had so many lineup changes (one right after another) that it is hard to stay on top of who is and isn't a Christian Death member. Some admirers of Christian Death's early-'80s recordings will, of course, argue that the 2007 lineup heard on American Inquisition -- singer, guitarist, and keyboardist Valor Kand; singer and bassist Maitri; and drummer Nate Hassan -- is Christian Death in name only, and that no lineups since the departure of the late Rozz Williams in the mid-'80s deserve to be called Christian Death. This highly conceptual effort (which is best described as goth rock, darkwave, and alternative rock) has received a wide variety of reviews on the Internet; some reviewers have trashed it while others have praised it -- and the truth is somewhere in the middle. American Inquisition is a worthwhile, if uneven and sometimes self-indulgent, outing that takes dead aim at one of Christian Death's favorite targets -- far-right Christian fundamentalists -- and points out the disturbing alliance between Christianity's lunatic fringe (which doesn't speak for all Christians) and the George W.
