Along with bands like Christian Death, .45 Grave, and Pompeii 99, the Superheroines helped spawn the so-called death rock scene in Los Angeles during the early '80s. Like their peers, the all-female band's music had a goth edge, but was inspired chiefly by punky, Runaways-style metal. Guitarist/singer Eva O. (born Eva Oritz) had previously played in the Speed Queens, and joined up with bassist Jill Emery and drummer China to form the Superheroines in 1981. They made their recorded debut that year with two tracks on the seminal death rock compilation Hell Comes to Your House, which also featured the first recordings by Christian Death; the following year, Eva O. sang backup vocals on Christian Death's first album, Only Theatre of Pain. Meanwhile, the Superheroines joined the small local label Bemis Brain and issued their own debut LP, Cry for Help, in 1982 as well. It was followed a year later by Souls That Save

And thus was American goth rock born. Perhaps an extreme statement, as one could argue .45 Grave beat Christian Death to the punch, if with a lot more intentional humor. Still, it's about the only thing that can be said upon listening to Christian Death's debut, Only Theatre of Pain, released in 1982 and influencing more bands that can be counted since then. The member who got the most attention was, unsurprisingly, singer Rozz Williams, but guitarist Rikk Agnew is the secret weapon that makes this album so good. With the first phase of the Adolescents (and a solo album) behind him, he brings his punk-inspired work here, and with the help of longtime producer Thom Wilson, who sat behind the boards here, the two created a perfectly ominous world of tolling bells, heavily treated guitar, and general spookiness. Bassist James McGearty and drummer George Belanger keep the murky energy going and thankfully aren't afraid to kick up a storm when needed either. The most memorable song is "Romeo's Distress," a catchy slice of doomy punk-pop that admittedly has one of the most un-PC lyrical starts around. Throughout, the band either kick out the melancholy jams, McGearty's purring bass leading the way, or sheer atmospherics, some quite effective. Witness the slow wash of sound concluding the first side and kicking off the second, or the combination of noise, keyboards, and treated vocals on the closing "Prayer."...(AllMusic)
