Dreams for the dying dead in my arms
Dreams for the Dying is the second album by alt-rock/goth metal band Shadow Project, released in late 1992 by Triple X Records.
Contents
Production
The album was recorded during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Because of the curfew the band was in lockdown at the studio. This tension reflected on to the album, coupled by the fact that Eva O. and Rozz Williams "were at the height of our hatred of everything: the world, ourselves, each other, the world, everything that was going on". Former Triple X A&R Director Bruce Duff thought this was "one of the most genuinely evil records ever recorded".
Themes
Rozz Williams continued to deal with some his favorite subjects in this record, such as death ("Funeral Rites"), religion ("Static Jesus," "Thy Kingdom Come") and violence ("Knight Stalker"). "Knight Stalker" was dedicated to serial killer Richard "Night Stalker" Ramirez.
