    Artist description
    i try to cover every aspect of music, i really never make the same album twice. i try to change musical styles with every album. my firstalbum "children of evil" was a mostly new wave album with some goth,grunge, and industrial elements thrown in. my second album "diskofeva" is the definitive dancealbum that has a hidden, actually very serious and cynical message, despite itsshallow exterior. my third album "final repose" is very much the most heavily gothic album of them all.it has only one dance track and ends with the agressive and demented "i wanna kill myself". "Christworld" is a blend of hard driven, industrial metal and gothic quiet misery and there is one new wave "The Cure"-esque song, "Every Train Wreck is Beautiful, I Guess". My new album to be released in late 2002-early 2003, titled "Show Jesus Your Titties" will be very fresh and a lot more of a fun "over the top" album. Possibly drawing heavy influence from 80's hair metal such as "Poison", "Motley Crue", and "Guns and Roses", but that is not a definite as recording has yet to begin as of this date, but will start soon.

    Artist History
    thomas christ first started in the fall of 1998 with the band "the s+m suicide factory", a band i was in with 3 other guys, but dueto lack of practice and a lack of united overall vision, i decided to take my songs and do it myself. it was around that time that i started listening to 80's new wave and wrote 9 songs of my own. these songs would be immortalized forever as "children of evil".around the same time as "children" was released, the tragedy of columbine high school came to a head. due to the violent tonesof some of my lyrics, school officials at the catholic high school i attended were forced to act out against my album. this resulted in one of the biggest controversies in U.S. history. freedom of speech and other basic rights were in jeopardy in a way neverbefore seen. when all was said and done, several parents were contacted by way of nasty school memos and countless numbers of thomaschrist albums were ripped from fans hands by a tyrannical high school government.but that was only the beginning of the thomas christ story. a few months later i was back in the studio againrecording "diskofeva", inspired by my life with the thrill kill kult's disco inspired dance numbers. thethird thomas christ album "final repose" was soon to follow with a healthy dose of gothic misery.

    Press Reviews
    memo sent out in summer of 1999 by catholic high school praising thomas christfor his lack of moral values representative of the catholic faith. they were so impressed by my first album that they wanted all the copies that i sold in school returned to their office.Sable's Gothic Mp3 Reviews, Feb 19, 2001:"Closets of decay – Thomas, quit trying to sing like Billy Idol and hiding it behind vocal distortion. Your music is fantastic, but I don’t want to sit through yet another 10-minute song, especially one that I don’t really like. I can’t even listen to Temple of Love all the way through anymore. On another note, I can actually hear you sneering and curling your lips. Please tell me you don’t have blond spikey hair."http://sable777.freeservers.com/02-16-01.htmlSable's Gothic Mp3 Reviews, Feb 16, 2001:"Nothing ever changes – Leave it up to someone with the last name Christ to torture me for 9:38. I actually liked the song for about 4 minutes, but I have the attention span of a spider monkey on crank. So… Oooh! Something shiny and pretty!" http://sable777.freeservers.com/02-19-01.html
