Christian Death’s ‘Prophecies’ turns 30 on 18 July

Christian Death’s gothic rock and industrial album ‘Prophecies,’ released July 18, 1996, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Originally issued through Jungle Records in the UK and Cleopatra Records in the US, the ten-track, 52-minute album drew thematic inspiration from Nostradamus’s writings and was arranged, engineered, and performed by frontperson Valor Kand alongside bassist Maitri, guitarist Flick, and drummer Steven Wright, with sessions recorded across Boston, New York, and Rotterdam. Following the 1995 live album ‘Amen,’ ‘Prophecies’ represented the band’s continuation under Kand’s leadership, roughly a decade after original vocalist Rozz Williams departed in 1985. Candlelight Records USA reissued the album on CD in 2003, securing its place in the band’s extensive discography spanning multiple lineups and stylistic evolutions since the group’s 1979 formation.
