ROTTING CHRIST

Release Year: 2022
Artist Origin: GRE
Style: dark morbid occult black metal

historical, essential, fundamental record of Hellenic black metal gods, their very first obscure mini album [1991], recorded after the style-shaping demo years, surprises with rough and savage, yet haunting and mesmerizing, peculiarly infectious sound, oozing originality, characteristic only to the genre co-founders; such a unique blend was mostly refined by a bass player Jim "Mutilator" Patsouris, responsible for occult concept as well, while Magus Wampyr Daoloth [Necromantia] on keyboards and backing vocals takes care of dark, infernal atmosphere, and the number of fanatics following a young formation with a provoking moniker rapidly rises; recent French black vinyl edition with authentic front cover, sound remastered by the band leader Sakis, liner notes by Grutle Kjellson [Enslaved], a pro-printed four-page full-size lyric insert including additional extensive interview with all four band members, plus three bonuses taken from Satanas Tedeum demo [1989] and Dawn of the Iconoclast 7"EP [1991] sessions is limited to 1000 units
