Myke Hideous (born October 15, 1966) is an American gothic rock singer and songwriter from New Jersey. He is the founder and frontman of the gothic rock band The Empire Hideous, which was active throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s. He also performed with The Bronx Casket Co., Spy Society 99, and the Misfits as a fill-in vocalist on their South American and European tours that took place from May to July in 1998.
The early Empire Hideous years
Myke Hideous formed The Empire Hideous in 1988, for which he was the lead singer and songwriter. The group issued its first recording, a 12" EP titled The Empire Hideous in 1990. Although the band went through numerous personnel changes throughout the 1990s, they released two subsequent EPs, a live album (I'm Dead, You're Dead, We're All Dead, 1998) and a live studio recording (Victim Destroys Assailant, 1998). The band toured throughout the USA during the 1990s. Myke crafted an enigmatic and brooding stage persona and would become known among fans for his often shocking stage antics, including being whipped in between songs, donning a crown of thorns, and inserting hypodermic needles into his flesh. Mark Steiner released a documentary film entitled To Build an Empire, about The Empire Hideous.
Reformation, Catastrophe Ballet and Ashes (1983-1985)
Around this point, Pompeii 99 too were going through a number of lineup changes. Subsequently, six months after Christian Death's disbandment, Williams joined Pompeii 99, which at that time consisted of only guitarist and vocalist Valor Kand and drummer David "Glass" Parkinson. Under Williams' suggestion, the band's session keyboard player and Kand's partner Gitane DeMone officially joined the band. After Williams was approached by Yann Farcy of French record label L'Invitation au Suicide to record another Christian Death album and tour Europe, the band hired bassist Constance Smith (later Redgrave) and changed their name to Christian Death. This culminated in Christian Death's second studio album Catastrophe Ballet (1984). Recorded at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, much of this album's instrumentals were written by Kand, with Williams contributing entirely to lyrics and partially to melody writing.[18] It was a departure from the band's angry punk-influenced style and was dedicated to surrealist André Breton. While in France, Smith departed from the group due to a mental health struggle, being replaced by Dave Roberts . In autumn 1984, the band returned to America and recorded Ashes, which was released the following year.
In mid-1985, Williams departed from the group, frustrated by Kand's increasing control of the band and perceived disregard for how touring affected the members' ventures outside of music. He originally planned to do this under the pretext that DeMone would also be leaving, however she soon decided not to, as that would also mean separating Kand from their child together. Following Williams' departure, the remaining members made an effort to change the band's name to Sin and Sacrifice, transitioning to that name through booking their next tour as the Sin and Sacrifice of Christian Death. However, the promoters did not adhere to this change, instead having them booked as simply Christian Death. This issue then became exacerbated once they were offered a record deal by Supporti Fonografici which they could only accept if they continued on as Christian Death.[22] Augmented by bassist Johann Schumann and guitarist and keyboardist Barry Galvin, the band recorded an EP for Supporti Fonografici titled The Wind Kissed Pictures, credited to "For Sin and Sacrifice Must We Die a Christian Death". The EP was later reissued in Germany and the U.S., credited to Christian Death.

So cool to hear you discussing Christian Death and especially Rozz Williams - legendary.

[@keithhampton9700]

Got to see Shadow Project. Really great show. Got to briefly meet Rozz. Very cool and humble man. I felt blessed.

[@kennethdutton4153]

GBH? you sure about that, their front three have remained the same from beginning to present

[@nekroscot]

You are correct Sir, this Bozo needs to get his shit straight. lol

[@nekroscot]

I like your post, but a lot of the lead guitar is actually Frank Agnew on Theater of Pain. Ask him and Rikk they will tell you.

[@ZombifiedPreacher1]

Shadow Project!

[@GregGallagher]

Big fan of Myke’s, and both versions of TSOL who you mentioned in this clip.

[@mushroomleg]

Myke looks like a combination of screech and Paul from cannibal corpse here. *edit also Serpentine Gallery by Switchblade Symphony is a 90’s goth masterpiece. My Halloween high school sexytime soundtrack back in the day.

[@misterslats]

"I was working at a piercing studio." - is there a more 90's statement than that?

[@davidleewrath6919]

Maitri's the name, not Dimitri

[@paulosicne8498]

That piece of waste opportunist valor who stole the Christian Death name. The band he was in is not the Christian Death. And valor's music is horrible. The only real Christian Death only put out one album, which is still IMO the greatest death rock album ever released: Only Theatre Of Pain. Props to Rikk Agnew for his contributions. There's no Christian Death without BOTH Agnew and Rozz. When Rozz tried to revive the Christian Death name with Evo O in the 90s, it was just basically Shadow Project. I did like Joe Wood-fronted T.S.O.L. albums Change Today? and Revenge. The later long hair roadhouse rock version Hit & Run, not so much.

[@davidleewrath6919]

Graves or Danzig? Solo Danzig.

[@timholt78]

It may be blasphemous, but I greatly prefer Valor's Christian Death ( there are quite a bit of crappy songs in Valor's catalog, but some really great ones as well "This Is Hereasy" has the pinnacle of goth bass lines in my book ). Like M.H., I just don't care for Rozz's voice.

[@blackphillip8486]

Am I a stupid? Didn't Casey Chaos from Amen come from, or play with Christian Death when he was a tot supposedly? I could have my wires crossed, liked Amen back in the day, not super familiar with Christian Death.

[@davidleewrath6919]

He played with them in the 90s, wrote a few songs too

[@nekroscot]

He didn’t write nothing. He played a couple of shows with them.

To be ‘punk’ but offended by Michale Graves 😂
