The Super Heroines released several albums, and when Rikk Agnew left Christian Death, Rozz asked Eva to fill in on guitar.

Year 1983 ( MCMLXXXIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1983 Gregorian calendar) [1]

In the mid-1980s, Eva became involved with personal demons and a strong distaste for the world. She spent a lot of time with Richard Ramirez, with whom she was in a relationship. Ricardo Muñoz Ramírez (born February 29, 1960, in El Paso Texas) is a convicted American Serial killer awaiting execution Ramirez committed several murders in San Francisco and stood trial there.

Shadow Project is a Gothic rock / Deathrock band formed in the early 1990s with Rozz Williams and Eva O. They described their music as "a strange mixture of metallic death rock and punk. " It was after their second album, Dreams for the Dying, that Eva and Rozz started to write even more darker, depressed and rage filled subject matters which was a reflection of the internal struggle they were having in their personal lives. Although Eva never considered herself to be an official member of Christian Death, her participation in that band and Shadow Project earned her the "queen of darkness" title. [3]

Christian Death reunited and released two more albums, but the lineup that the band used on those albums was essentially just everyone from Shadow Project. Shadow Project went on one final tour after recording a live album, In Tuned Out.

Tired of Rozz's getting most of the credit for the Shadow Project work (much of which she wrote), Eva O went solo and released Past Time in 1993 on Cleopatra Records. Year 1993 ( MCMXCIII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1993 Gregorian calendar) The album featured material from her days with the Speed Queens, the Superheroines, and Christian Death, as well as three new solo songs. [1] In 1994, she began working on her second solo album, which she was originally going to call Angels Fall for a Demon's Kiss, but after studying more about the classic hierarchy of angels on both sides of the good-vs-evil spectrum, she ended up becoming a Christian and rewriting the entire record and renaming it Demons Fall for an Angel's Kiss. Year 1994 ( MCMXCIV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full 1994 Gregorian calendar) Demons Fall for an Angel's Kiss is the 1994 studio solo album of the American Deathrock veteran musician Eva O. Produced by John Indovina, the album was tamer and calmer in comparison to her previous rugged and wild material. [2]

[4]

After numerous reworkings and remixings, Eva finally completed her Damnation (Ride the Madness) album in 1999 and in 2005 its follow-up Damnation/Salvation album and released it on the German death-metal label Massacre Records in 2005.

Industrial music is a loose term for a number of different styles of Experimental music, especially but not necessarily Electronic music. Damnation/Salvation is a detailed chronicle of her involvement with the occult and Satanism climaxing with her encounter with Jesus. It has been repeatedly turned down for distribution in the United States due to its subject matter. She emphasizes that people need to listen to the entire album in order to understand its full meaning, rather than judging it by its cover, track listing, and the lyrics of the first several songs.

Recently, she has announced on her myspace that she is getting married again.

The lucky man is none other than Edwin Borsheim of the horror rock band Kettle Cadaver.
