Question: Where was the band who released Atrocities formed?
Context: Atrocities was Christian Death's fourth album and the first with Valor Kand taking over main duties after Rozz Williams' departure.  The album's subject matter deals almost exclusively with the Holocaust including songs about Auschwitz and Josef Mengele.  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. Christian Death is an American deathrock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1979 by Rozz Williams.  They became a highly influential act, heralding the American gothic rock and deathrock movements. La Historia del Blues ("History of Blues") is a concept album by the Spanish band Siniestro Total, released in 2000.  The album tells the story of Jack Griffin, a fictional African-American musician.  Siniestro Total use Griffin's life as a means to chronicle both the evolution of blues during the 20th century and "the recent history of the United States, with all of its wonders and all of its atrocities". Raymond Henry Vanderby (born Reinder Hendrik Vanderby, 17 January 1953) is an Australian keyboard player, musician, songwriter who formed the band 93-D and wrote the song Suspicious which reached the Top 50 on the Australian Music Report Singles Chart in 1991, formerly the Kent Music Report.  Ray Vanderby is the former lead singer of Australian rock band Cosmic Nomads.  He is also the founder and songwriter of Cosmic Nomads, which he formed in Sydney in 2003.  The band released 4 progressive rock albums which achieved glaring international reviews.  Vanderby also formed 4 piece stoner rock band Severed Demons in late 2011 who released his song Trelucabeth along with a music video which was voted "Video of the Week" on the ABC TV Rage program.  The band was short lived due to personality clashes.  Ray Vanderby's current and latest musical project is his 4 piece retro rock band Corrugated Iron. The Hunger is an industrial rock band from Houston, Texas formed by brothers Jeff and Thomas Wilson along with Brian Albritton.  During the initial year of putting the band together and working on new material the band wrote and independently released the single, "Shock" in 1991 which rose to the top of the dance charts.  Industrial dance music ruled the charts in Europe along with strong ties to Chicago, Wax Trax Records, and Houston.  Subsequent releases of "Cut the Skin" and "Shoot to Kill" gained national exposure on the dance charts and club scene.  "Never Again" was self-released as a radio single and quickly rose to the top of Houston Radio Station's 93Q and 96.5 attracting the attention of independent record label Alpha International.  Stephen Bogle produced the single of "Never Again".  The band wrote and produced the album "Leave Me Alone" but due to the bankruptcy of Alpha International the record sat idle.  It was released but there were no marketing efforts behind it.  After the release of the album, the band sought out drummer Max Schuldberg and they played their first concert as a foursome opening for Peter Murphy at Southern Star Amphitheater.  They played concerts in Texas as a foursome for two years.  Along with the three founders and newest member Max Schuldberg, the band added producer Stephen Bogle as guitarist to complete the line up.  The band recorded and produced "Grip" under their own start up label, Gut Records.  "Grip" went on to sell 15,000 units with the help of a crafty rework of Bad Company's "Feel like Makin Love".  Universal Records, at the time a brand new start up label, heard of the success of "Grip" and signed the band as their second artist ever.  "Devil Thumbs a Ride", the 3rd album, had already been recorded and mastered and was about to be manufactured for another self-release when Universal stepped in to sign the band and release the album as-is.  The Hunger had a hit song in 1996, "Vanishing Cream", from the "Devil Thumbs a Ride" CD, which received heavy airplay on rock stations and reached No. 4 on the Mainstream Rock charts.  After two years of constant touring, the band finally stopped to record their second release with Universal Records, "Cinematic Superthug".  After only moderate success with the single, "Moderation", the band asked to be and was granted a release from their contract from Universal Records.  Two songs, "Shoot to Kill", also from "Devil Thumbs a Ride", and "If", from "Grip", reached No. 42 on Billboard's Dance/Club Play chart.  The band has released six albums: two on Universal Records and four on independent labels. Former original drummer (1991-2003) Max Schuldberg (voted 2002's Best Drummer by the Houston Press Music Awards) parted with the band after the five albums in 2003 and moved to Los Angeles.  Former guitarist and two time Grammy Award nominee (remixer, for his work with D.J. Cubanito) Stephen Bogle now Produces artists in the Metal, Electronic, and Pop genres.  In late 2005 Stephen Bogle parted ways with the band, and Tim Huston was quickly picked up.  With having only a few practices with the band they headed on tour with Ten Years.  Tim Huston Stayed with the band from late '05 til 2013.  "The lifestyle was just getting to overwhelming for me to handle".  "If I would have stayed, who knows what would have happened to me.  There was just no off button".  In 2013, guitarist Raf Rivera joined the lineup, and the band is currently in the process of recording their first new material in over 8 years.
