"Deathwish" contains 6 songs which are the first recordings of Christian Death recorded in a small studio (Orange County Studios), when Rozz Williams was only 16, before the band signed to Frontier Records for the monumental debut album "Only Theatre of Pain". Some of these songs would be a part of a punk compilation album named "Hell comes to your House" released under the label Frontier Records during the 1981. However, only "Dogs" was released with this compilation. From the 6 songs of this mini-cd "Romeo's Distress", "Spiritual Cramp" and "Cavity" have been added one year later to "Only Theatre of Pain" but a little bit changed with better production.
