For over three decades, brothers Sakis and Themis Tolis have carved an iconoclastic path through the world of metal. Architects of Hellenic black metal, ROTTING CHRIST have spent 35 years blending galvanizing atmospheres, haunting choirs, and neo-classical arrangements, all set against a backdrop of extreme metal. Today, the Greek metal legends present their 14th studio album: "Pro Xristou". Translated as "Before Christ" in Greek, this album is a fervent homage to the last pagan kings who resisted the Christian tide, protecting ancient values and knowledge. Immerse yourself in the legacy of figures such as Flavius Claudius Julianus and mythical Norse kings through tracks like "The Apostate" and "Yggdrasil." 'Pro Xristou' encapsulates the essence of Rotting Christ's distinctive style: a melodic symphony with moments of relentless harshness.
For fans of NIGHTFALL, MOONSPELL, SEPTICFLESH, PRIMORDIAL, VARATHRON.
Artwork by Thomas Cole (1801-1848), the painting is titled "Destruction" and is part of "The Course of Empire" series.
