Christian Death - Jesus Points the Bone at You?

Simply put, "Jesus Points the Bone at You?" is a compilation of singles from 1986-1991 released by the LA deathrock band Christian Death. Fronted by Rozz Williams, the innovator of death rock, Christian Death formed in 1979 when Rozz was 16 years old. Christian Death was a double entendre of the fashion designer Christian Dior. Christian Death are still playing shows despite having 30+ lineup changes including Williams since they started 30 years ago. At one point in time the band was completely broken up and Rozz Williams joined forces with 3 members of Pompeii 99, including Valor Kand to start back up under the Christian Death name. When Rozz quit the band shortly after in 1985, Kand and the rest of the members carried on as "Sin and Sacrifice of Christian Death". By the second European tour, they decided to return to the name Christian Death. Kand would continue on in the other formation of Christian Death even after Rozz Williams got the original band back together. Rozz would release two albums before hanging himself on April 1, 1998, possibly as an April Fools joke. These are the singles released by Valor Kand right after Rozz first left the reincarnation of Christian Death.
