	Rozz Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rozz Williams (November 6, 1963 – April 1, 1998) born Roger Alan Painter, was an American rock vocalist, most famous for fronting the bands Christian Death and Shadow Project, the latter with his then wife; Eva O.
		Williams was born Roger Alan Painter in Pomona, California and was raised in a strict Southern Baptist family with his three older siblings (two brothers and one sister).
		Rozz had been the only original member of Christian Death left when he departed the group in 1985, yet the remaining members continued to perform and release several albums under the original group name.

		Rozz was actually 18 when "Only Theatre of Pain" was recorded, although it would seem that Christian Death probably started two years previously because newspaper interviews claimed Rozz was 16 at this time.
		Rozz's later attempts to set up a mailing list and newsletter for Shadow Project often got put on hold as the money was required to tour or for the next studio recording.
		Rozz initially expressed cautious interest then became convinced James was "involved in bullshit" and instead focused on Daucus Karota with Mark Barone (bass), Roxy (guitarist) and Christian Omar Madrigal Izzo (drums) instead.

		Rozz Williams was born under the name Roger Painter in 1963 in Pomona, California into a Southern Baptist family with one sister and two brothers.
		In the early 1980's in Los Angeles Rozz, at the age of 16, formed a rock band of 4 members which was influenced by both West Coast punk, Bowie and T-Rex --this band would eventually be named Christian Death.
		Rozz would produce numerous works during the 1990's, his most creative period--everything from spoken word albums to Daucus Karota, a more rock-based, less death-obsessed project, to a joint album with soloist Gitane Demone.

	Rozz Williams Tribute
		Rozz Williams was born under the name Roger Painter in 1963 in Pomona, California into a strong Christian family with one sister and two brothers.
		Rozz is perhaps the most genuine modern Gothic artist in the sense that his meloncholia and agitation mirror the pangs of the original 1800's dark-romantic artists such as Shelley, Baudelaire and Goethe.
		Rozz inhabited a darkened world of pain and deep personal suffering, and his agony transcended to his music, creating a frightening mirror of a profoundly sensitive human spirit trapped amidst the terrors of a living Hell.

		And Rozz had lots of different projects like The Happiest Place on Earth, Shadow Project (with his ex wife, Eva O), EXP and etc. Apart from music, he also took part in installation, spoken word, acting and script writing.
		Rozz Williams is one of my favourite artists among Ian Curtis (Joy Division), Richey James Edwards (Manic Street Preachers), Nick Cave, Kurt Cobain, etc. All they spend their entire life to get to the deepest end of human soul, of love and hate.
		As a musical influence, Rozz was said to be the king of death rock, but like other guys in their scene, Rozz didn't really enjoy such a name.

		Williams left no suicide note, but Kand said he believed heartbreak and alcohol played a large part in his death.
		At the time of his death, Williams was awaiting the release of From the Heart, the next Shadow Project album due out this month, and organizing a hard rock band with Triple X Records.

	dOc DVD Review: Pig (1998)
		Months before his suicide, singer/musician/writer Rozz Williams (best known for his work with the bands Christian Death, Shadow Project, and Premature Ejaculation) collaborated with underground filmmaker Nico B. on a short film that was to be an exploration of dark fantasies and imagery.
		Figuring heavily into the mix is the abstract artwork of Rozz Williams himself, primarily in the form of collages and dadaist object collections seen throughout the scenes, and Williams' own soundtrack; a DAT recorder collage of ambient and experimental sound work with found material (similar to artists like Hafler Trio or Zoviet France).
		Rozz Williams' bio, in a morbid stroke, contains the complete contents of his suicide note, while the bio of Nico B. includes a list of all of the places where Pig received a theatrical screening as well as a few glimpses at reviews for the film.

		Rozz would sometimes perform in a wedding dress, perform mock communications or be tied to a cross in a re-enactment of Christ's Crucifixion.
		Rozz considered Christian Death to be his creation and felt that it was his decision, not Valor's, whether the band continued or not.
		Rozz had been quoted as saying; "The Path of Sorrows is probably my favorite Christian Death album." One song on The Rage of Angels was written for Jeffrey Dahmer, the American serial killer and for whom Rozz had a major fascination.

		Rozz didn’t help things by following that with a song about a gypsy who has a gay love affair with an SS man—especially after rewriting David’s lyrics to make them a bit harsher.
		Granted, Rozz Williams had spent a career trying to shock and offend people (he was around long before that Marilyn Manson youngster), and that’s just fine.
		Several posthumous Rozz Williams albums have come out in the past years, but Accept the Gift of Sin, without a doubt, is definitely the strangest.

		Williams' music transformed the era heading in the direction of Goth and rigor by fermenting the fearful into breaking his records in the name of God.
		Williams' bands metamorphisms through performance caused the fearful to continue to react maniacally.

		Meanwhile, a penniless Rozz Williams had resurrected his own version of Christian Death during the late '80s, with his wife Eva O. contributing guitar as well as the band's signature female vocals.

		While Williams, whose real name was Roger Painter, had fought heroin addiction and severe depression during much of his life, friends and associates expressed shock and surprize at his death.
		Williams had provided vocals for Christian Death since he was 16 and was a fond fixture in the LA-scene.
		In his obit for Rozz, SonicNet's Johnny Walker noted that "Williams [often] expressed frustration with his audience for artistically straitjacketing him in spite of his oft-proven ability to embrace a Bowie-esque style of musical eclecticism, best heard on the aforementioned Whorses' Mouth.

	Pig
		Born of the tortured sprit of Rozz Williams, the deceased singer of Gothic group Christian Death, Pig is a deranged and surrealist short film that examines the ritual of a serial killer.
		Shot in fl and white by Nico B, the film is based on script from Rozz Williams who plays the killer and is also the co-director.
		The soundtrack composed by Williams reinforces the troubling and experimental aspect of Pig, an amateur film that is located somewhere between art and documentary.

		Williams wanted to revive the name Daucus Karota for the new group but the head of label L'Invitation au Suicide; Yann Farcy, was insistent that a band called "Christian Death" play the scheduled shows in Europe to support Only Theatre Of Pain's release there.
		Rozz Williams also put out some other new albums on Cleopatra Records under the Christian Death name with his wife Eva O supplying guitar and back up vocals during the 1990s.

	::--Subvertainment: EOIPSO--::
		Roger Painter (better known as Rozz Williams) died on April 1, 1998, and not only did he leave behind sad faces, but also a lot of gossip and superficial knowledge about his person.
		Provocation and a deliberate incorporation of social taboos have always been a vital part of his oeuvre, be it as singer and lyricist of American Death-Rock-legend Christian Death, be it as a strange poet and enthusiastic painter.
		Even today, this band is often associated with Rozz, though the recent musical output of former band mate Valor has little to do with the early days and is filled with hackneyed awkwardness that only lowbrow listeners will indulge in.

	REVIEW: Rozz Williams - "Live in Berlin" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		While most people know Rozz as the front man of the Goth band Christian Death or the Industrial Premature Ejaculation, few are familiar with his last band Daucus Karota.
		This was the mid-90's and Rozz, always looking for a new direction, chose a trash rock sound very reminiscent of the New York Dolls and the Spiders From Mars: unrefined, dissonant, drug addled, sexual, minimalist, yet refined with a conscious air of drama and theatre.
		Budding Rozz fans should overlook this album and head straight for the Christian Death catalog.

		We were astonished at the number of Rozz cover track submissions that kept coming in the mail every month.
		We hadn't anticipated the enormous response from bands who were actually willing to donate their time, effort, talent and art to the memory of our dearly beloved Rozz Williams.
		In the world of tribute albums it can be hard to find a good tribute where the artists stay true to the style of the artist they are paying tribute to and yet add their own touches as to more fully show respect for the music the artist has left behind.

		But I soon realized that even though Rozz Williams is gone, his art can never be destroyed and his impact on on others will never vanish.
		Rozz Williams was not just another musician, he was an artist.
		The Rozz image was taken from some place on the web (sorry I can't give credit to who deserves it, if it's you tell me) and then I altered it, creating my own Photograph.

		At one point, Rozz opened up and was saying some heart felt stuff.
		During this, the others were in the bathroom trying to fix the busted toilet, and eventually they all busted out laughing and goofing around, which killed the moment.

		One year after Rozz's untimely demise in 1999, I myself ventured up the Runyon Canyon trail in Hollywood, walking past an old desecrated tennis court to a hill overlooking the hazy vista of Hollywood, California.
		It is a peaceful and soothing place, and his memorium is an apt tribute to both his artistic and lyrical talent.
		Rozz Williams can be viewed as a poet, a vampire, a prophet, a demon, a fallen angel, an anguished soul, a voice that literally describes the spires of burning hell, the longing for the golden vaults of Heavenly perfection, and the recesses of man's darkest thoughts.

	Rozz Williams: Live In Berlin Aversion.com Review
		Hinting at things unsaid looming larger than our mortal world, the controlled world of a studio helps add to the illusion; an illusion difficult to maintain in the bare-bones world of live rock'n'roll, especially without the aid of lighting, costumes and, most of all, stage presence, as proven on Live in Berlin.
		That's not to say this record turns out to be a total flop; it simply displays a side of Williams' work not fitting snugly with his mythology.
		Williams' voice, however, isn't chained to earthly restraints on this album.
