Best known as the former frontman of the influential goth-rock band <a href="spotify:artist:6mEohczxsctzkEIU0WAeWD">Christian Death</a>, Rozz Williams also enjoyed an eclectic solo career which saw his music take turns into industrial, cabaret and spoken-word projects. Born Roger Alan Painter, Williams was still a teen when he formed <a href="spotify:artist:6mEohczxsctzkEIU0WAeWD">Christian Death</a> during the 1980s; their debut LP, 1982's Only Theatre of Pain, appeared when the singer was barely old enough to drive. While <a href="spotify:artist:6mEohczxsctzkEIU0WAeWD">Christian Death</a>'s subsequent records positioned them at the forefront of the American goth scene, Williams bristled at the goth label, which he felt straitjacketed his creativity; to explore other musical avenues, he performed with side projects including the industrial vehicles <a href="spotify:artist:5VZnsYKdNzwaDfrVzESWlr">Premature Ejaculation</a> and Heltir before eventually going solo with 1995's Dream Home Heartache, a spare, cabaret-styled outing recorded with keyboardist <a href="spotify:artist:7KEJuMEVdCsk1lH5nFT2ff">Gitane Demone</a>. Its 1997 follow-up, The Whorses' Mouth, was a spoken-word piece exploring Williams' long battle with heroin addiction; sadly, he committed suicide on April 1, 1998 at the age of 34. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
