Search - Eva O :: Past Time

An interesting retrospect

"It is without doubt Eva O gained most of her fame from her associations with Rozz Williams in both the bands Christain Death and Shadow Project. Of course, this also undermines her talent to only be known by those familiar with her late ex-husband's work.While I'm not the hugest fan of her voice (a friend of mine was quoted as saying that she sounds "very butch") she's an excellent guitarist and adequite gothic lyricist.The fact that she's a born-again Christian (her solo tracks on this album are proof of that) also laughs at the stereotype that "all goths are Wiccans/Satanists/devil worshippers" but also has created a very different sound in her life's work - selections of which are given here.This album spans the portion of her career from 1980(?) to the early nineties."

A correction on the last person's reveiw

"* Eva O. is deathrock first and foremost she even says so on her website. Second, her lyrics are not gothic! WTF?? It's poetry, gorgeous beautiful songs written from an artist who spent time and wrote her passions down in a incredible way, how the hell can anyone label that as "gothic"? Poetry is poetry through song or not.



* Eva O. is not a born again christian, she has always had an on again off again fight with orthodox christianity and she is currently an orthodox christian. If you don't like it than don't buy her new cds because they might have some "godly" influences other than that she's fine. Now, I am not personally a christian but eva o is a beautiful woman, extremely talented guitar player (her idol is jimmy page so you can imagine) and her voice is a deep feminine voice



* Eva O. was in a band called "super Heroines" long before she was in christian death and shadow project and her solo stuff

The super heroines are great band and should get some damn recognition because people often make her seem like she just tagged along with rozz and was in his band for the hell of it. She wasn't. She is a great musician in her own right and it should be appriciated, but like most great artists she isn't.



* I am also tired of people hating her just because her and rozz divorced. Contrary to belief they were not enemies after their marriage. Her and rozz remained great friends after their divorce. And anyone with human emotion can tell that rozz still loved eva and never disliked her by pictures and the last shadow project cd they put out together.
