I hope there's less about fire, desire and funeral pyre on this one.

I cannot understand why he went for 'Pro Xristoy' instead of 'Pro Christou', which would have made a lot more sense to non-Greeks. I would very much like to hear someone trying to pronounce 'Xristoy'. I so much want this to be good, but I cannot say I am optimistic.

Staying true to the roots I guess.

Probably the same reason people sometimes say Xmas instead of Christmas.

I actually didn't think of that at all.

They used the same picture for the cover as Arghoslent on "Incorrigible Bigotry". Not the best band to be mentioned with in the same sentence...

Judging from the cover it probably should've been called 'Meta Xriston'.

Candlemass call back - it’s the final scene of Thomas Cole’s Course of Empires … I’d buy the album just for that …

Pretty World, Pretty Dies, what an odd song title for RC

I love RC...but the older they get, their song become a cringe-fest

01. Pro Xristoy (Προ Χριστού) - ( or Πrotiting Christ)
03. Like Father, Like Son - (Struggle Jennings Cover)
04. The Sixth Day - (Original soundtrack feat Arnold Schwarzenegger)
07. Pix Lax Dax (- Pix Lax...Πυξ Λαξ? feat Mpampis Stokas?)
08. Pretty World, Pretty Dies - ( This title was probably google translate result)
09. Yggdrasil - (Compulsory LOTR reference to attract Power Metal crowds)
10. Saoirse (- traditional Ancient Greek female name lol )
12. All For One (bonus track) - ( Bryan Adams cover...feat Sting and Rod Stewart)

On a more positive vibe... no use of the word "Fire"!

I honestly hope the music will be better than the titles.

I am guessing he got inspired by the fantastic film Pretty Village Pretty Flame, which had a major following in cinemas in Greece back in the '90s, with the Yugoslav Wars taking place next door to us.

Deep down I really do hope they’ll do something nice, but I’m not that optimistic. Looks like another cringe-fest with the same 3 riffs they keep using the last 20 years.

Please prove me wrong this time.

Probably they're not even aware that Arghoslent exists. On the other hand the image is not property of that band, is a well known painting. And it fits the RT aesthetics pretty well.

Saoirse is as Irish as it gets.

It's a painting by Thomas Cole, titled "The Course Of Empire - Destruction". A basic google search shows that it has also been used here, here, here and here. I remember that it has also been used here, and Heaven Shall Burn are one of the most openly leftist bands out there.

The cover art was not that great a choice for many reasons (lack of originality, inconsistency with the album title, etc), but being related to Arghoslent is not one of them.

and fear...

More or less we know what to expect from this album i guess, however i still will have it on my wishlist. no matter how predictable or repetitive i still like the aura.

I know...and I would like to hear Sakis trying to pronounce it with his "Me Tarzan, You Jane" accent! lol

Very cool cover art though the music won't be further from my tastes.

The cover looks like amazing.
Let's see how the interior is...

If there's even one new riff on this, it'll be progress

Pix Lax Dax sounds kinda funny for us Swedes. 'Pix' is slang for 'quid' or 'bucks' as in money. 'Lax' is 'salmon' and 'dax' is street spelling for 'dags' as in 'it's time (for)'. So the title means something like 'It's Time For Quid Salmon' so I hope that is what the song is about, preferably with references to hell, fire and desire
