Overview

Deathwish --- 2022-06-03

Recorded at Orange County Studios in 1981. These 6 songs were the first recordings Christian Death recorded in a studio before the band signed to Frontier Records for [r=381396]. They were asked to provide some songs for the [r=836321] punk compilation album (Bemisbrain Records, 1981), however only "Dogs" ended up being used. The cover is a reproduction of the painting "Who shall deliver me" by Fernand Khnopff. Reverse has text in French by Jean Lorrain and a picture depicting a child sat upon the coffin of a dead woman (Alfred Kubin "la fiancée de la mort"). This reissue comes with a black gatefold jacket opposed to the orange covers of the past. Has a "Made in Canada" sticker on the back cover
