Christian Death - Church of no Return

Christian Death - Church of no Return

[@m0nkeychemicals]

This video was filmed over 2 nights in a squatted warehouse on Holloway Road, North London in 1988, the 'congregation' were members of the Christian Death Society. I'm in there somewhere..

[@anneross1021]

I'm at the beginning about 2 mins in the chubby wee goth girl with black hair lol

[@roccorusso7926]

Cool😮

[@abrahamhernandez6928]

The 80s was the best decade!

[@marioolave6334]

the best decadence

[@N3ukenInD3K3uken]

This came out in 92

[@ufo8mycat]

Seeing them in August! Hope they play this song! :))))

[@VarnaVix]

This was playing in my head today as I cycled around- I passed two Baptist churches and and one Mormon in the same neighborhood- and it struck me what an odd place California is. The next song I thought of was "Sweet Home Under White Clouds."

[@meganwood5729]

Love this song! I used to dance to this video at a goth club I went to in the late 80's early 90's. The Valor bashing on here is ridiculous by the way. The man is VERY talented and to deny that is being deaf, dumb and blind.

[@bassirgharbi1520]

i'am moroccan i listeaned this on 90's i'am still loving it and i can't belieave that 736 478 person watched this

[@thebark4]

rozz was a very cool counter culture idol....thank god for his talents....and music....thanks Rozz...RIP bro...

[@merzhin]

Vinieron a Chile y quiens se dicen goticos no fueron a su show... y estuvo de pelos!

[@mad4ramones]

Thanks for posting. This used to be one of my favourite songs, but I had never seen the video.

[@rcaconnecting3920]

In the beginning there was sinning and in the end, well, let's pretend blessed is the fruit I dare you to take another bite of it and somehow I think you will in spite of it O'no no no no no no no passion like a hurricane O'no no no no no no no is desire a ball and chain O'no no no no no no no passion like a hurricane Sweet sixteen with a letter between Mother, virtue won't you explain? Harvest of victims for the church of no return In the beginning there was sinning and we made love like animals out of wedlock away back when it was the laws of nature not gods or men and in the end, well, let's pretend O'no no no no no no no passion like a hurricane O'no no no no no no no is desire a ball and chain O'no no no no no no no passion like a hurricane Sweet sixteen with a letter between Mother, virtue won't you explain? Harvest of victims for the church of no return In the beginning a hurricane transgressed the law and there was fire and desire, passion and smoke and from the mist that chilled the ashes came the men with the words of right and wrong, huh! Yea let's pretend again

[@aishahkay728]

Im getting really obsessed with this song! Amazing xx

[@toddatron]

Yes Rozz the man but then Valor and his way they both have giving greatness to what they do........................I love them both

[@robbylawler]

It's really fun and energizing music! Pan.

[@SPOON007a]

back when bands had a gimik I miss thoes days eyeliner and fish nets

[@FredericaBimble]

EvilGothGuy: Find an independent music shop that still sells CDs and ask the person if they've ever heard of them and if not, then ask if they can be on the look-out for them. When a CD comes in, you'll be first on the list to get the tunes. Also, believe it or not, Amazon and other 'mainstream' sources sometimes turn up some gems. Look in the most unlikeliest of places and you may be pleasantly surprised. I got rid of my Nina Hagen collection in London in a shop and it sold the next day.

[@Jennifer1717]

What a guilty fckn pleasure. Being catholic yet liking this music.

[@BlackBile351]

Their music during this time, simply put, was/is beautiful.

[@alexandraponce7073]

i used to listen to them in high school back in the mid 80s im 42 now

[@blacknganga]

Any goth club that does not play Valor tracks is seriously missing out, Valor is a genius musician.

[@andrewbinnie5852]

after all this time it still stands as a classic

[@BastianBalthazarBux13]

can't get enough of this song

[@fredEVOIX]

Always loved her voice in this song and now that I see her in the videoclip I'm not disappointed :D

[@carrla10]

This is such an AWESOME song!

[@MVPBlackART]

awesome vided and awesome song, no doubt in that.

[@kemicon]

That's a blanket statement if I ever heard one. I love Christian Death and I'm only 55 and morbidly obese. See proved you wrong! Yeah I wouldn't call them the best band to have walked the earth or anything but this song is catchy.

[@ladykattiva]

great song, great band

[@Mochi_Mourningstar]

these guys were one of my biggest influences god i love them

[@EuphoricAcid12]

Christian Death is a great deathrock band... and if people don't like it, they can go live their diluted lives somewhere else... instead of trying to brag about their favorite mainstream band in front of people who don't care. I tip my hat to what you've said.

[@archiegothx]

Luv ds band since 80's

[@firstlight1986]

I don't know why, yet this video always brings a smile to my face. I personally don't care who is singing for the band, it's good either way.

[@mcguffla]

I used to love this - so ridiculously gothic!

[@MilleniumKing13]

@MilleniumKing13 its all good. now let us indulge in this wonderful music

[@Spaceboy02111]

Lord i hope so....

[@Syntheatre]

Got to love Gitane Demone in this...

[@marcinmultan4640]

Doskonałe!

[@Caydrian]

You are correct1

[@shadow27b]

I saw Valor on the Sex Death & Jesus Christ round 92/93 was a good show.

[@chatnoir168]

I love Gitane De Mone!!!!!!!!!

[@JacobDeadman]

one ofthe few valor songs i really like

[@animegirl199511]

Even though this band was around before I was born, I love them. They are Better than most music you hear these days, better than all the pop, rap, and screaming music. If only I was around the 80s and so, around the good stuff.

[@bolmsp]

best ever n agree with sirus 108

[@Celiaa666]

me encanta esta canción

[@pale1945]

oohhh...this band hasn't deserved to separate the fans on two sides because of the singers..i admire both of them 'cause they made a hell of a job,valor and rozz..have a respect to the band and don't argue anymore..be a goth

[@AdryKat8]

Ambos son buenos Valor no es tan malo en lo que hace anque sin lugar a dudas para muchos es y sera por siempre la mejor etapa de christian death con Rozz Williams

[@shadows-of-elysium]

I love this song! :)

[@chickenblaster]

Yes, that is Gitane making this song shine! Valor is pretty good too!

[@Epitaph1334]

Gitane makes this song worth listening to. What a load of pipes.

[@PunkRockerJohnny]

And she's got a great voice.

[@Westerndiggi]

Great!!

[@kendisa759]

one of my fav songs from Christian Death. ^^

[@dzigawertow4926]

Grande pezzo

[@spookmonster52]

@Daspien09 I'm pretty sure that Manson stated Christian Death or at least Rozz Williams as an influence. Look at Rozz in the live Tv Performance of Romeo's Distress in the related videos. Manson has a very similar wadrobe.

[@charliellorente]

@TheShplaa AT that moment Rozz williams was not in the band anymore (he even formes another Christian Death: Rozz William´s Christian Death(!!!)).The guy who sings is Valor, and the other vocalist is Gitane Demone.

[@alexanderolah6369]

passion like a hurricane!

[@jeankuldieu5551]

O man, love Thy woman! : the arcane ov thee Church of no return .

[@alisonsdragonsegg]

well said

[@gollydolly04]

happiness on a plate...SMILE..

[@devinvandine6869]

im only here cuzz of my friend recommending this song to me...Its really good though

[@13JDOG666]

Feel the way i do about this touchy subject.

[@YenaPrinskin]

Superb

[@RonnyVain89]

I like this group. But it's really depressing to think how little people out there are also listening to this.

[@brosi25071990]

influence till 85 with Rozz - everything after that was just alternativ metal crap valor destroyed the spirit of this dark post punk sound

[@AgentHomer]

@oramikleepunk I see - well he's got a very good taste when it comes to mainstream singers, you gotta give him that.

[@sebastian863]

Qué bueno... Jjajaja, el video es muy gracioso. Creo que la gente se lo toma demasiado en serio. A mí me parece una gran broma. De hecho, una de las cosas que me gusta de Valor, es que es alguien capaz de reírse de sí mismo. ¡¡¡¡ Grande Christian Death!!!

[@MilleniumKing13]

@EturnusFrost nah i mean that's what i noticed with ppl arguing over who was a better christian death frontman over profiles and in general. i suppose i was trying to calm the feud a bit hehe

[@XandaumSP]

I love Gitane Demon!!!

[@zyciekota]

moc!!!

[@XDarkMoleX]

@garethac81 In my opinion the sound is perfect.

[@jodypf]

Obviously Fraxle found the wrong genre of music to enjoy, & I can't believe after all of these years the battle of loyalty between Rozz and Valor. It's Christian Death and it is the group in all forms (history) that created what it is now. There are definately great pieces in various ways, most of each I enjoy, even if it is at different times.

[@LincolnSixEch0]

@VegaValentino but the guy who appears in this video, isn't Rozz William, it's Valor Kand ¬¬

[@GeorgeVMorpheus]

Classic!

[@chrystjesus85]

@sirus108 Eva Married my friend Edwina while back, I think he sings for Christian Death off and on, I heard them play with Rikk at Edwins house at a party a while back, it was like Only Theatre of Pain all over again, a lil edgier, but awesome. Maybe we'll see some shows with that line up before Agnew drops dead from a heart attack

[@ashleysunday3101]

LOL I searched up gothic anthems like you suggested. The first video was EVANESCENCE [sp?] ha.ha.

[@Berrychien]

Gitane *ç* I love you ! (Valor u_u)

[@b.anascimento6885]

muito foda

[@XDarkMoleX]

@garethac81 Sounds good to me, and them bieng great or not is just your taste and opinion.

[@IDarKayserlLeo]

Love this song, fucking awesome!!!

[@tuuexx]

Roz lives !

[@factoryman]

LUCIE CRIES - real Gothic Music!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rigormortiiis]

"Born Again Anti Christian" is the album in question. Listen to it; the metal overtones are all over it. I love the album anyway.

[@kemicon]

Thanks for the intelligent reply, I'm impressed. I think we might have to agree to disagree on Cru though. That being said I always did kind of like need for speed. Not sure if you'd like the violets, their early stuff was kinda like Joy Division meets Sisters of Mercy. Their later stuff, not so good IMHO.

[@Albrecht777]

@hashfromplan9 What about "Insanus"? A totally underrated and diverse LP, in my opinion. The new disc "American Inquisition" is great, too. And don't forget how many songs Valor wrote on "Ashes" and "Catastrophe Ballet". "Everything else" only leaves three albums... . Go figure.

[@immortalx50]

mmmmmm her attire is awesome

[@Blixagr]

well , after so many years , still the debate Rozz Vs valor ... just 2 diffrent bands with the same Name k?thnx

[@molokoplus3]

@windrix1 thpppttt.!

[@angelizer999]

@Grenadier1939 i agree whit you, best era was with williams... ashes, catastrophe ballet, OTOP etc...

[@Barbarnella999]

the guitarist with the cap is Referent Jim Beam aka Bob Spitzer and I know that for a fact

[@baronsengir187]

Ah..the good old times :)

[@nadiawlady3824]

💙💜

[@HarleyMace]

@SimulacronX How do you figure, Manson looks nothing like Rozz.

[@Subgoth]

@ohdear671 Sweet sixteen with a letter between

[@alisonsdragonsegg]

tell me more

[@ZombieDragQueen]

Everyone is missing the point here. That this song is a rip of The March Violets' 1983 single Snake Dance. And while this song has an Endured version, The March Violets featured on the b-side an Extended version, which pretty much tells me Christian Death didn't even bother to hide the fact they stole the song and neither did they credit the Violets on none of the single/album releases. Though not entirely surprised; the Candlelight edition of Catastrophe Ballet mentions only Rozz and Valor.

[@evermetal2]

Only 76 dislikes! It deserves a lot more...

[@gymrachel]

Valor in this vid reminds me of someone I know ..

[@Lobotomyu]

you should get in touch with the artists themselves they can be nice people.

[@XxSp00kYxX]

❤️

[@demonsangells]

I'm so glad Gothic changed over the years..

[@madi267]

Wished I was born before the 80s :(

[@alisonsdragonsegg]

saw them in london
