Thomas Christ
Thomas Christ is a provocative and
controversial solo musician,
OPERATING out of Pittsburgh, PA.
Christ's music never fails to
tackle the more taboo subjects of
life, from religion, to the music
industry, and most recently the
CONDITION of life itself. Influences
range from David Bowie to Beck, and
despite a leaning toward the
industrial sounds pioneered by
Ministry, Skinny Puppy, and KMFDM,
his music is not bound to a
specific genre or style. The
message defines the style, rather
than allowing style to define the
message.
