The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. In June, 1993, Rozz Williams reconvened Christian Death for one night in Los Angeles, California. Three months later, Shadow Project disbanded. The two events were not connected - just a few more milestones in a career which is already strewn with them - but when the Grim Reaper finally gathers Goth to his bosom, it's the tapes of those two shows he'll be keeping in his walkman.

Shadow Project was always a fragile unit. Built around Williams's flair for the musically dramatic, and Eva O.'s frighteningly fluid guitar, with keyboard king Paris filling the gaps in between, Shadow Project was the real darkness on the edge of town, the mid-American dream skewing off into realms which simple rock 'n' roll never dreamed of... or if it did, it called them nightmares.

Taking their cue from the masters of old, Shadow Project nevertheless eschewed the fantasy which made that past so palatable. The Bowie of "Panic in Detroit" and the Alice of "Dead Babies" hung heavy over Shadow Project, long before the band started playing those songs. But it was the message, not the medium, which interested them.

Even the band's name drew from an unimaginable horror - the original shadow project studied the bodies of the Hiroshima dead. Flesh and bone had disintegrated, all that remained was a shadow.

If you were dealing with anyone other than Williams and O., the same could be said for Shadow Project. But two stunning studio albums - 1991's Shadow Project and Dreams for the Dying in 1992 - ensured Shadow Project would live on in death, even before In Tuned Out arrived to round off the story.

Drawn in the main from those albums, but roaring afresh with the sheer power of the live experience; bolstered even further by the lethal Alice Cooper medley which the band contributed to the Welcome to our Nightmare tribute album: In Tuned Out is Shadow Project at its most potent, a gore-streaked guerilla in the increasingly staid world of what was once called Goth.

So embrace it with your ears, absorb it with your soul. It might not be the last record you'll ever hear, but if it were, at least you'd be in good hands.
