Atrocities is the fourth studio album by American rock band Christian Death, released in 1986 through record label Normal.
The album's subject matter deals almost exclusively with the Holocaust, including songs about Auschwitz and Josef Mengele.[ citation needed] Recorded at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales it also featured the songwriting and arrangement skills of Barry Galvin, who, along with Johann Schumann, would leave the group upon the completion of Atrocities - both went on to form Mephisto Walz.
It is the first Christian Death record with Valor Kand taking over main duties following Rozz Williams' departure.
