Not only does it offer a number of his classic tracks re-recorded for a new audience, but it literally pronounces Valor dead in the liner notes. THE IRON MASK as a title is an obvious literary reference to Dumas' novel about a king who keeps his brother, the rightful ruler, imprisoned. With this release, Rozz is metaphorically removing the mask he'd been forced to wear for years.

Billing themselves as the original Christian Death, they were rejoined by first-album guitarist Agnew for a 1989 tour of Canada. The band was signed to, and released The Iron Mask album and Skeleton Kiss EP in 1992. Williams' reclamation of the Christian Death name sparked a fierce battle with Kand. However, Kand already had the rights to the name due to Williams' departure from the band and subsequent neglect of the moniker. Williams consequently billed his version of the band as 'Christian Death Featuring Rozz Williams'.

After this, Williams' version released The Path of Sorrows album in 1993 and The Rage of Angels in 1994.
