It took Rotting Christ two whole years to unleash their second strike after the Satanas Tedeum demo. The first blow in 1991 came in the form of a split release with Monumentum from Italy for which they re-recorded "Feast Of The Grand Whore", but the second and deadly one was the Passage To Arcturo EP.
