The artwork has yellow-line borders, resembling that of the Bible; furthering its religious affectations. | released = March 24, 1982 | recorded = | venue = | studio = | genre = Deathrock | length = 32:20 | label = Frontier | producer = {{flatlist|

It is considered by most critics to be the harbinger of the style of music deathrock, as well as being highly influential on the American gothic music scene.[1] ContentDescribing the album's themes, The A.V. Club opined the record as being "relentless in its morbid embrace of Christian eschatology. Williams was raised in a Southern Baptist family, which makes his adversarial appropriation of Catholic imagery more nuanced than simple blasphemy; he’s approaching the cross from the perspective of both Protestantism and what one can only assume to be either atheism or Satanism".[2] Critical reception{{album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{rating|4.5|5}}[1] | rev2 = Record Collector | rev2score = {{rating|5|5}}[3] | rev3 = Melody Maker | rev3score = favourable[4] | rev5 = Sounds | rev5score = {{rating|4|5}} (1982)[5] (1983)[6] | rev6 = Trouser Press | rev6score = generally favorable[7] }}Only Theatre of Pain was praised by critics upon its release. Mick Mercer of Melody Maker called it the "gothic album to out-gothic all others".[4] Around the time of its release, a presenter on a religious TV program, in a special on "Satanic influences", reportedly broke a copy of the album on air.[8] In its retrospective review, Record Collector wrote, "Only Theatre of Pain's influence should not be underestimated".[3] The A.V. Club wrote that, of the group's musical peers, "none had exemplified the nascent subgenre [gothic rock] with as much sinew, vision, and iconoclasm", calling it "a depraved masterpiece".[2] Alex Ogg, writing in The Rough Guide to Rock, was less favourable, calling the album "self-aggrandizing doom rock redeemed only by strong musicianship."[9] Anniversary concertOn April 13, 2007, the remaining members of the Only Theatre of Pain line-up of Christian Death reunited as Christian Death 1334 to perform the album in full at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The addition of "1334" to the end of the band's name was reportedly to make a distinction from the Valor Kand-led version of the band, which includes none of the group's original members; "1334" was also Rozz Williams' "signature number". At the time, it was reported by Blabbermouth.net that the band were working on new songs and were to commence the recording of a new album later in the year, but this never materialized.[10] Track listing{{track listing| headline = Side one | all_writing = Rikk Agnew and Rozz Williams, except where noted | title1 = Cavity – First Communion | length1 = 4:06 | title2 = Figurative Theatre | writer2 = Rozz Williams | length2 = 2:41 | title3 = Burnt Offerings | length3 = 3:43 | title4 = Mysterium Iniquitatis | length4 = 2:46 | title5 = Dream for Mother | writer5 = {{flat list|
