My favorite Rotting Christ moment: Im at work listening to Rituals when my manager walks by. 'What are you listening to? Sounds pretty good." I said "Rotting Christ". He responds 'Oh. Nevermind." and just walked away lol. His loss.
Hey guys, first of all Shiva is male, he is a deva (god) not a devi (godess). The Bull Flag, Nandi Flag or Vrushabha Flag is the flag of shaivism, and Nandi is the name of the gate-guardian deity of Kailasa, the abode of Shiva. He is usually depicted as a bull which also serves as the mount to Shiva. According to Shaivite siddhantic tradition, he is considered as the chief guru of eight disciples, Nandi teach them the divine knowledge of Agamic and Tantric wisdom taught by Shiva from goddess Parvati, and then they were send to eight directions to spread the wisdom of shaivism. Well, now let's talk about the origin of the lyrics. This song is inspired by a strota (hymn) called Mahamrityunjaya strotam which is supposed to have been sung by the rishi (sage) Markandeya after being saved by Shiva from Yama the God of Death. Shiva killed Yama and then revived him, under the condition that the devout Markandeya would live forever. For this act, Shiva was thereafter also known as Kalantaka "The Ender of Death" or Kala Kalaya "The One who kills Death", and Markandeya is considered a Chiran Yivin, a person who lives forever. Ok, so after all that... the lyrics go something like this: Devadevam jagannatham devesam vrushabhadwajam, Namami sirasa devam, kim no mrutyu karishyathi. The Lord, Who is the God of gods, Who is the lord of the earth, And who has the bull flag. What can death do to the one, Who salutes with his head to the god. Anatham avyayam santham akshamala dharam haram, Who is limitless, Who cannot be explained, Who is peaceful, Who is the killer, And who wears the garland of ruraxs (literally translates to furious eyes) Aaandham, paramam nithyam, kaivalya pada dhayinam, Who is happiness, Who is beyond thought, Who is stable, And who grants salvation. Swargapavarga datharam srushti sthithyanthakarinam, Who grant heaven and salvation, Who looks after creation, upkeep and destruction. This keeps repeating, with some other names of Shiva thrown in along with 'Namah/Namami' which means 'I bow to thee'.
Sorry bro but ur talking about rudra. Shankar . And Shiva is just different. Shiva is whole dark universe. It no male nor female. Rudra is male and they all are one entity. That's why we say Shiva is shunya and ikaaee means it's everywhere and nowhere at same time
im a yogi myself, and i love that you did this song. they did a great job of combining the traditional chanting with metal. i dont subscribe to one religion because they all essentially preach the same thing, but with different fables and interpretations. if you go to india, a lot of yogis and hindus believe that jesus was basically one of the other great enlighten humans along with the Buddha. you should read "Autobiography of a Yogi". really amazing stuff
Seen a few videos on " The Search for the Real Jesus," In one myth by the " mystic traditions " Jesus first travel to India in his 20's after growing up and training in Egypt as a teenager. Then after getting nailed to a tree then took his wife and children to live out the rest of his life in India. The other traditions is that his wife and children flee to Spain then went up into Scotland and founded a royal blood line. As for myself, I am more into evolution and reincarnation and we are in the current Hindu Kali Cycle with close to 3,000 years of warfare and suffering left.
There was no yeshwa. It was made up. Listen and read to swamy Vivekananda. Yogananda parahamsa just appeased the west with missionary styled autobiography. I would suggest divine romance as a better book. It goes deeper into consciousness which is far from bible thumping thinkers.
I have listened to this twice and I still want to hear it again. It drew me in immediately with that deep thrum and the chanting completely carried me away. It's so hypnotic, I love it. Excellent song choice and great discussion. Thank you Tina.
Finally... RC is the band that you don't judge by their name. Dig into it, so many good songs, great lyrics. They are like fine wine: getting better as they age.
Awesome! been waiting for you guys to do Rotting Christ for a while..not disappointed 🤘🏻 Great to Tina back also, absolutely brilliant taste in metal.. wouldn't expect anything less from a fellow Britt!!😉 Amon Amarth - Under the Northern Star Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner...UP THE IRONS!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I'd love to hear your reaction to the Rotting Christ version of "Orders from the Dead", which they did with the vocals of Diamanda Galas. Totally epic song!
Finally some Rotting Christ! They're geniuses. Especially Sakis (singer, guitarist and lyricist). Rotting Christ is the band that got me into black metal. Their first albums were 100% black metal but now you can't even describe "their genre" anymore. I usually call them ritualistic black metal haha. I think their last album "Rituals" has songs in 7 different languages. If you want you can react to some of their english songs like The Sign Of Evil Existence (first album, black metal), Transform all Suffering Into Plagues (same) or Non serviam which is probably their most popular song. Otherwise you could react to songs like Kata Ton Daimona Eaytoy (greek and english), In Yumen/Xibalba (Mayan and english), Apage Satana (greek christian prayer), Χ Ξ Σ (greek, very popular song) or Ze Nigmar (my favourite one, Hebrew).
That reminds me, I remember getting Thy Mighty Contract on vinyl back in the day and Osmose Productions had (typically) messed up the words on the album sleeve so it was The Sign of Enil Existence and Transform all Suffering into Plaques haha
I’ve liked what I’ve heard by RC, primarily their Aelon album, have they done much else in this tribal/melodic/ritualistic sound with mild black metal inspiration?
You wrong may be you young ROTTING CHRIST start to DO GRING CORE. AND the new wave in Europe the band change to black metal but original this band come to the GRIND CORE
So if wanna say the firt album of ROTTING CHRIST is GRIND CORE im know you talk about if wanna mention the demos ADE WIND'S. Or MIGHTY CONTRACT ALBUM PASSAGES OF KING ARTHUR. OR NON SERVIAM. WERE EVER WHEN ROTTING CHRIST START TO BLACK METAL MUCHA BAND IN GREEK DO WITH SAME MEMBERS LIKE VARATHRON,THOU ART LORD, NECROMANTIAS AND ROTTING CHRIST AND ALL THIS BAND IS THE SAMES MEMBERS AND FOR ME VARATHRON IS THE BEST AND MORE HONESTLY BAND AND ROTTING CHRIST IS THE MOST COMMERCIAL
Epic songs from rotting christ are also athanatoi este (immortals you are ), nemecic, grandis spiritus diavolos(big spirit the devil), tou thanatou (of death), elthe kyrie(come lord) and last but not least kata tou daimona eaftou witch is ancient greek and it means do whatever you wish. I promise you won't be disapointed ! they are one of the few but epic greek bands of metal.
Good choice Tina! I got to see them on tour for this album. I got to shake hands with the guitar player and strum his guitar. And I met Jeff Loomis at the show! He was just chilling in the bar. Nothing like Seattle shows.
This my favourite band to listen when I m at the gym especially when I do my dropsets , I lose counts on my reps and give me a good pump . In case you seeing this rotting Christ please come to Malta again . In my opinion you one of the best foreign band I had witness in my country .
Hey guys, i'm from Greece, like Rotting Christ. I've already seem them 2 times, and their live were absolutely perfect. One thing : those dudes have really really good songs, why did you select this one ? Other songs, have even more "religious" character ...
No band is so equally thought and emotion provoking simultaneously in metal as Rotting Christ. Masters of their niche, and this is far from their best work
Awww yeeeeah Rotting Christ! The only band I was starstruck to see live... check out "King of a Stellar War," or almost anything from "A Dead Poem" which is a great starter album. RC for the last 10 years or so have been shifting to more historical themes (the Enuma Elish, the Great fire of Smyrna, for example); as you guys discuss RC are "respectful" of their themes
You owe it to yourself to try some more experimental bands. A Forest of Stars - Gatherer of the Pure Or Harakiri For The Sky - Funeral Dreams. Very interesting stuff and you would have fun discussing it. I will post this everywhere till you do one of these two songs.
Abbath's crab walk is inimitable. Immortal's stage shows will never be the same without his amusing grimaces. It's a pity that their ways diverged. I hope Abbath has managed to solve all his problems.
Really really love this episode! Tina is so intelligent. I’d totally hangout with you, Tina.lol I have a story about Sheeva from my childhood that freaks me out but, I would love to discuss it sometime over a chat with you 3. And yes, I have my studio monitor headphones on and the song was majestic sounding! Vin & Sori listen again with your buds in😉
Shiva is male. The trinity of Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva is in Viashnavaism. In Shaivism we believe Shiva has the role of all 3. Also misunderstanding... cows are respected but humans are technically higher. Om Namah Shivaya.
Jacinda Rajas All true, it was explained to me by my Guru that the cow is sacred because the Cow is like mother to all with the milk she provides for humanity. It's a connection that mother's milk nourishes us when we are babies, and when we become older we transition to milk
Hey, this is the best vid so far I have seen from you guys. I liked the song alot, but that was not the reason, It felt like that the presence of Tina made Vin more "open" :)
To add to the theme of Greek metal that goes above and beyond the traditional, Septic Flesh and their song "The vampire from Nazareth" is a beast of a song. Orchestral, heavy, dense and beautiful.
Alluding to trinities, that's a really interesting thing to me since I've always really been into comparative mythologies and such, I've always been very interested in how these peoples who had almost no chance of ever meeting each other end up having similar elements in their beliefs. There's also trinities in Celtic religion (several actually) and quite a few in Greek mythology and things as well. I'm mainly thinking of the goddess Hecate being seen as a triple goddess a lot.
Wow,this song was amazing ,I've heard Of Rotting Christ since the late 90's and I've heard a few songs by them but never got any cds,this song changes that.Now I know they're black metal rooted but I love it when a band experiments successfully,I think I'm gonna give them a good listen to,awesome job guys 👹🤘lol
..Hey Guy's thank you for the song ,I am Greek myself and I can say that R.C. are a band that went over the limlt's of Death/Black Metal and the proofe is in their song's so you heard.!.There are to many song's as your English friend told you and you should really listen to another one .I Had written before in one of your react's and I asked ..ELTHE KYRIE.. or in Greek ..ΕΛΘΕ ΚΥΡΙΕ... I Believe you'll be thrilled because in that one the story is gonna make you feel your in an Orthodox Church litening the priest's doing their service of the day,the only thing you wont hear is them -R.C. -taking about satan and shit ,that is the reason R.C. are not like any other D/B Metal band outthere...!!Greece /hen's RESPECT..!!!
Thanks :). Their album Paracletus is probably the one Ive delved into the most of all albums in general. I was writing a review for one local metal website and it was a great ride. Though, having a 3 (or was it 4?) A4 page review was probably a bit overkill, I really enjoyed writing it :). I think the main tipping point for me to get deeper with it was when I saw that curious line in Amos 5:18 on their tshirt for the album. So Ive read up on the context quite a bit. Even the first time Ive listened to the album, Ive had to had their booklet from vinyl spread in from of me, because I really wanted to follow the thread. It is a concept album, so I think you could guess what comes before the final track called Apokastasis Panton ;).
if u guys loved mgla, u should listen to UADA from USA Portland, almost similar vibe to mgla…….. they have a very melodic and atmospheric vibe..... HAIL UADA!!!!!
This is inspired from an Ode to Lord Shiva, considered the God of the Gods and The Destroyer according to Hindu Mythology. The language is Sanskrit. I was blown when I saw RC did a song in Sanskrit, and it sounds sick. I have compiled the parts used in the song along with English Translation for anyone who is curious: Starts with 'Gayatri Mantra' followed by the 'Strota' (Ode). Devadevam jagannatham devesam vrushabhadwajam, Namami sirasa devam, kim no mrutyu karishyathi. The Lord, Who is the God of gods, Who is the lord of the earth, And who has the bull flag. What can death do to the one, Who salutes with his head to the god. Anatham avyayam santham akshamala dharam haram, Who is limitless, Who cannot be explained, Who is peaceful, Who is the killer, And who wears the garland of ruraxs (literally translates to furious eyes. Aaandham, paramam nithyam, kaivalya pada dhayinam, Who is happiness, Who is beyond thought, Who is stable, And who grants salvation. Swargapavarga datharam srushti sthithyanthakarinam, Who grant heaven and salvation, Who looks after creation, upkeep and destruction. Credit : Siddharth Singh
A band I think would be really interesting to have you discuss and react to is Terra Tenebrosa, especially their video for "Where Shadows Have Teeth" (their last album is the only one with available lyrics). They're an experimental/Avant-gard metal band from Sweden whose songs explore the dark side of dreams and the human psyque. The singer wears a mask that represents the Cuckoo, an entity he says has appeared to him throughout his life acting either as a good or bad influence/guide.
17:06 YES, VIN! VICTORY! I've been saying *this* about metal for maybe two decades now, and *Rituals* is an album that I'd like to shove in every nay-sayer's face as a proof of my claim! =D
Finally Rotting Christ, been asking for this for a long time, such a good band, check out their songs "Ze Nigmar", "Keravnos Kivernitos", "Gaia Tellus", "Χ Ξ Σ" or "Demonon Vrosis". Cheers!
Rotting christ are one of the few bands in the black metal scene that still attract new audiences throughout their career. I have been listening to black metal for over twenty five years. I even DJ played it in a nightclub in Birmingham called Xl's. Over the past 25 years there have been many bands come and go, but the true essence of black metal is emotions, and the feelings that it creates within the listener. When you guys did the reaction to Emperor I Am the black wizards, Sori said she gets a vision of mountains, and trees swaying in the background, well, well done Sori, because that is exactly what black metal is about, getting in touch with your inner self, your inner awareness. I thought "yes, way to go, she finally gets it." Rotting christ Rituals is probably the best album to come out of the black metal scene in years. I would put this album up there with Emperor - in the nightside eclipse, Mayhem - De mysteries som Satanas, dimmu borgir - death cult armageddon, satyricon - dark medieval times, summing - Old mornings dawn, Abigor -Leytmotif Luzifer (The 7 Temptations of Man) and cradle of filth The principle of evil made flesh. More Rotting christ reviews and reactions please, XIBALBA would be fantastic.
Timeless Visions by Velvet Acid Christ. its unlike anything you two have reviewed before. i would love to see you guys listen to some electronic music as you have not done so yet. i think it would be an experience that you both would enjoy!
Great! I was just about to suggest you guys Rotting Christ, but the song would have been Elthe Kyrie. It represents the opposite side of RC, it is very fast and technical. Do IT sometime.
Close Your Eyes - Keep the Lights On and Song for the Broken NOFX - Generation Z Stick to Your Guns - Amber, Better Ash than Dust, the Better Days Before Me and 3 Feet from Peace
wow finally a rotting christ song! should defenitly do more of them! love em
*_Black metal is dying_*
Rotting Christ: hold my crucifix
they are barely a black metal band anymore.
My favorite Rotting Christ moment: Im at work listening to Rituals when my manager walks by. 'What are you listening to? Sounds pretty good." I said "Rotting Christ". He responds 'Oh. Nevermind." and just walked away lol. His loss.

Rotting Christ is one of the best bands in genre but this is far from their best imo
varathron is much better check out
I absolutely love Rotting Christ.

Aww yiss. I was gonna recommend Rotting Christ. Fantastic, hypnotic band.
This my favourite band to listen when I m at the gym especially when I do my dropsets , I lose counts on my reps and give me a good pump . In case you seeing this rotting Christ please come to Malta again . In my opinion you one of the best foreign band I had witness in my country .
ye the first 3 albums are very aggresive and perfect for weight training...

You owe it to yourself to try some more experimental bands.
A Forest of Stars - Gatherer of the Pure
Or
Harakiri For The Sky - Funeral Dreams.
Very interesting stuff and you would have fun discussing it.
I will post this everywhere till you do one of these two songs.
IMMORTAL - Mighty Ravendark.
Alex Reznick great song ridiculous video. Same with all shall fall what is it about Abbath running around all over Norway like that?
Abbath's crab walk is inimitable. Immortal's stage shows will never be the same without his amusing grimaces. It's a pity that their ways diverged. I hope Abbath has managed to solve all his problems.

damn this song is just fucken amazing...pure BM hymn
Finally!! You should dissect the Whole Rotting Christ album Rituals. It's a deep dive into many religious themes. An amazing album!
Finally, I asked so long ago!

I think the main tipping point for me to get deeper with it was when I saw that curious line in Amos 5:18 on their tshirt for the album. So Ive read up on the context quite a bit. Even the first time Ive listened to the album, Ive had to had their booklet from vinyl spread in from of me, because I really wanted to follow the thread. It is a concept album, so I think you could guess what comes before the final track called Apokastasis Panton ;).
Good job, keep it up! You guys should check out the band cypecore!
Finally RC!!!...but wrong song!!! You should react to "Athanati Este". Major discussion material!

This is inspired from an Ode to Lord Shiva, considered the God of the Gods and The Destroyer according to Hindu Mythology.
The language is Sanskrit. I was blown when I saw RC did a song in Sanskrit, and it sounds sick.
I have compiled the parts used in the song along with English Translation for anyone who is curious:
Starts with 'Gayatri Mantra' followed by the 'Strota' (Ode).
Devadevam jagannatham devesam vrushabhadwajam,
Namami sirasa devam, kim no mrutyu karishyathi.
The Lord,
Who is the God of gods,
Who is the lord of the earth,
And who has the bull flag.
What can death do to the one,
Who salutes with his head to the god.
Anatham avyayam santham akshamala dharam haram,
Who is limitless,
Who cannot be explained,
Who is peaceful,
Who is the killer,
And who wears the garland of ruraxs (literally translates to furious eyes.
Aaandham, paramam nithyam, kaivalya pada dhayinam,
Who is happiness,
Who is beyond thought,
Who is stable,
And who grants salvation.
Swargapavarga datharam srushti sthithyanthakarinam,
Who grant heaven and salvation,
Who looks after creation, upkeep and destruction.

om namaya shivaiha!
A band I think would be really interesting to have you discuss and react to is Terra Tenebrosa, especially their video for "Where Shadows Have Teeth" (their last album is the only one with available lyrics). They're an experimental/Avant-gard metal band from Sweden whose songs explore the dark side of dreams and the human psyque. The singer wears a mask that represents the Cuckoo, an entity he says has appeared to him throughout his life acting either as a good or bad influence/guide.
GREAT TALK! Also, more Rotting Christ, please. There's 30 years of albums to choose from. Rituals, Kronos, and Genesis are great starting points. \m/
dang where did I end up lol
17:06 YES, VIN! VICTORY! I've been saying *this* about metal for maybe two decades now, and *Rituals* is an album that I'd like to shove in every nay-sayer's face as a proof of my claim! =D
Awesome band. I've had Χ Ξ Σ on a playlist for years now.
Finally Rotting Christ, been asking for this for a long time, such a good band, check out their songs "Ze Nigmar", "Keravnos Kivernitos", "Gaia Tellus", "Χ Ξ Σ" or "Demonon Vrosis".
Cheers!
I just submitted a request for Χ Ξ Σ
Amorphis Amongst Stars please. This was great thank you Tina!
Rotting christ are one of the few bands in the black metal scene that still attract new audiences throughout their career.
I have been listening to black metal for over twenty five years. I even DJ played it in a nightclub in Birmingham called Xl's.
Over the past 25 years there have been many bands come and go, but the true essence of black metal is emotions, and the feelings that it creates within the listener.
When you guys did the reaction to Emperor I Am the black wizards, Sori said she gets a vision of mountains, and trees swaying in the background, well, well done Sori, because that is exactly what black metal is about, getting in touch with your inner self, your inner awareness. I thought "yes, way to go, she finally gets it."
Rotting christ Rituals is probably the best album to come out of the black metal scene in years. I would put this album up there with Emperor - in the nightside eclipse, Mayhem - De mysteries som Satanas, dimmu borgir - death cult armageddon, satyricon - dark medieval times, summing - Old mornings dawn, Abigor -Leytmotif Luzifer (The 7 Temptations of Man) and cradle of filth The principle of evil made flesh.
More Rotting christ reviews and reactions please, XIBALBA would be fantastic.
Great! I've been waiting for a Rotting Christ song for a while! You should also check "Schammasch -- Metanoia"!
A great song, and an incredible band.
Cattle Decapitation-prophets of loss music video plz
Anyone know where to find the guitar tab for this? Gotta learn this!!
One of my personal favourites
Timeless Visions by Velvet Acid Christ. its unlike anything you two have reviewed before. i would love to see you guys listen to some electronic music as you have not done so yet. i think it would be an experience that you both would enjoy!
I really dig VAC.
corp Azilum same here. i don’t like a lot of electronic music but they’re great
You have to listen to some Helloween songs, like Eagle Fly Free or I Want Out
COME OOOOON DO ENTOMBED-LEFT HAND PATH ALREADY!
This song is perfect for doing meditation.
Check out DEMONIC RESSURECTION an Indian black metal band
Great! I was just about to suggest you guys Rotting Christ, but the song would have been Elthe Kyrie. It represents the opposite side of RC, it is very fast and technical. Do IT sometime.
Review more rotting christ they are amazing...even with the name they came up with when they were teenagers...check out the song noctis era!
I'm out of the loop, what is this village you're always talking about?
Toni The village is The Facebook and patreon pages, and being a patreon you can join a group and suggest Songs and vote for them.
I swear yall listening to all of my favorite metal bands. Try melechesh. That's a treat
Close Your Eyes - Keep the Lights On and Song for the Broken
NOFX - Generation Z
Stick to Your Guns - Amber, Better Ash than Dust, the Better Days Before Me and 3 Feet from Peace
