Christian Alejandro is an instrumental progressive metal solo project from Coquimbo, Chile, whose debut EP "Per Seculum Seculorum" (2010) introduced five tracks of self-described "Instrumental Epic Prog Metal." The project's 2023 album "G.NEM" expanded the approach into a ten-chapter conceptual work featuring guest soloists and a closing title track that runs over sixteen minutes.
Christian Death formed in Los Angeles in 1979, founded by vocalist Rozz Williams, and their 1982 debut Only Theatre of Pain became one of the defining documents of the American death rock and gothic rock movements. After the original lineup dissolved in 1983, the band continued under the direction of guitarist Valor Kand, with Williams later forming a parallel version and the two camps existing in dispute for years before Williams' death in 1998. The band retains an active presence and continues to record and tour under Kand's leadership.
