"One thing is for certain, the music of Christian Death has influenced the likes of Korn, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Cradle of Filth, Morbid Angel, Type O Negative and many others, too much to list here. The variety of the bands influenced by Christian Death is a testament to the variety of sounds found within the music of Christian Death. The most stable backdrop for the sound of Christian Death is DARKNESS, in the use of darkness as a basic theme they are second only to Black Sabbath, though far more serious in nature."

Oh sweet God! Who comes up with this crap?!

Although Black Ring is influenced by post-punk and goth/industrial acts (Bauhaus, Switchblade Symphony, Assemblage 23), we're not going to sit here and tell you how mad sp00ky we are. We rock. We know it. We want you to know it. We're full of energy and life, and we want to spread that feeling to others through music. So wipe off that fucking face paint. Grab your absinthe and cloves from the graveyard. And come out to a show. 'Cause you can wear black. You can enjoy the darker side of life. But you don't have to wallow in it.
