Big enough to get a concert movie released here, but still no radio play. You'd think Tripple M (rock station) or Tripple J (youth station) would play some
I saw them here in Linköping back when they had just released the second album and "changed Pope" on stage for the first time. Wouldn't have believed they'd get this big if someone had told me then
Of course we also need a new Rotting Christ topic in the new forum, right?
Rotting Christ is my favourite band by far, and especially their first three full-length albums are my favourites (they don't have ANY bad release, though)
There've been rumors about a new Rotting Christ album for months, but only very few seem to be true:
- the album is in production
- "Last news is that I am still working on the new album and till now it sounds ...really occult, aggressive and as always dark melodic." - Sakis Tolis
Damn, Theogonia kicks ass, why have I constantly ignored these guys??
Recommendations on which album I should listen to next?
Personaly, I think all their stuff is very very good. After Theogonia... I'd check Kronos/Genesis/Sanctus Diavolos. They all are great and in the same vein.
Older stuff like A Dead Poem and Sleep Of The Angels is much more gothic/slow paced influenced, yet good.
First ones are excelent but much more primitive sounding (Triarchy Of Lost Lovers being probably personal favorite along with Genesis).
Haven't listened alot Aealo, but I remember it being some sort of step down... should pick it up someday.
You have got to love that Greek accent and lyrics used by the vocalist...
My fav. albums are Theogonia, Thy Mighty Contract and Sanctus Diavolos.
Yes, the vocalist's accent does indeed give the band another 'bit of something different'. The band has quite a distinctive sound overall, and that distinctive voice, with that accent and the pronunciation of certain words adds to the overall charm.

Yeah, Theogonia is an amazing album. AEALO and Sanctus Diavolos come close.

I've been hearing that Non Serviam album of theirs. Loving it. Amazing album.
One of the few bands that started with a bang and still doing so.

Ther last one was quite a dud, though
If you mean "dud" as in "bad" then yeah I know where you coming from. I prefer their older stuff more than the recent ones. Addictive stuff haha

You know, I've never really been a fan. It's funny. I know a lot about them, I just never got into them. Maybe I just haven't them in the proper time and place.
Love RC but their later albums aren't like the old stuff.

I have no idea why I never saw it before even though it had been coming up on my YT recommendations all the time. Fantastic video of Rotting Christ performing songs from the beginning up to Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers, shot in the studio for Metal Mexico Festival. The songs are outstanding, from the best era of RC when they had their best lineup. The bass on this recording sounds awesome. Those of you who have placed and maintained the Yoth Iria debut at the #1 spot of this year's Top-20 need to watch this.
