Our Take
Our Take
Ah, ROZZ WILLIAMS, the enigmatic frontman of Christian Death, known for his haunting vocals and dark, theatrical aura. It's no surprise that his posthumous album, "Every King A Bastard Son," is a mesmerising journey through the shadows of his soul.
The album opens with the brooding track "Catastrophe Ballet," setting the tone for what's to come. Williams' voice is like a siren's call, drawing the listener deeper and deeper into his twisted world. The haunting melodies and ethereal production create an atmosphere that is equal parts chilling and alluring.
Tracks like "The Blue Hour" and "Some Men Never Die" showcase Williams' skill as a songwriter, combining poetic lyrics with innovative arrangements. Each song feels like a mini-drama, with Williams playing the role of tortured protagonist with gusto.
It's not all doom and gloom, though. "Dream For Mother" injects a touch of dreamy whimsy into the mix, while "The Portrait" is a haunting ballad that lingers in the mind long after the last note fades.
Overall, "Every King A Bastard Son" is a captivating tribute to a music legend. Williams may be gone, but his spirit lives on in this hauntingly beautiful album. Dive in, if you dare, and prepare to be spellbound by the dark magic of ROZZ WILLIAMS.
