Rozz Williams

Rozz Williams (1958–1998) was an American singer-songwriter and visual artist, founder of the band Christian Death and an influential figure in the American gothic/deathrock scene.

Founder of Christian Death; collaborated with Gitane Demone; involved in projects such as Daucus Karota and Shadow Project. Posthumous and archival releases include titles like Accept the Gift of Sin; Sleeping Dogs compiles material from the early-mid 1990s and earlier.

The review positions Sleeping Dogs as a patchwork compilation filling a gap in Rozz Williams' 1993–94 period, with uneven sound quality but several standout tracks. It highlights connections to Daucus Karota, Live in Berlin and the Gitane Demone collaboration Dream Home Heartache. Essential listening for fans; potentially indigestible as a first introduction.

For:Fans of gothic rock/deathrock, Rozz Williams collectors, listeners interested in posthumous compilations and live archival releases.
