I dont care what anyone says, whatever Sakis Tolis produces, plays and writes I will listen and adore. Such a great musician with such passion and respect for what he is doing. Having the experience of 25 years yet still so wise and down to earth. The best musician ever, the best band ever!
well said !
+bilgentolis Perfect summary, Rotting Christ is about ATMOSPHERE, and EMOTION, and name me a band they sound like, they are an original and will be copied. Hail Rotting Christ
+Oakenbull well said 👏🏻🤘🏻
+bilgentolis
Then get out of the comments, they are for discussions
+VicariousReality7 nope, it's for giving your opinion and I just gave mine. Butt hurt much?
from my point of view, this album is again a significant piece of art. Many fans consider it to be average, but i think this is because they were expecting riffs .But, please, judge it as a composition. If you listen to classical/orchestral music, you know that some great composers lean more towards atmosphere and the general composition.the harmonies, the pictures created etcA good metal album does not have to be all about riffs. its not rock n roll. Metal artists are allowed to expand and try different approaches. I believe that RC were aiming at a particular atmosphere and they did it right.peace n love ❤
Absolutely. And they nailed the atmospheric part along with keeping it bone crushing heavy
+Brandon Garrard thank you for answering
that's how i feel, too.
yw. This is honestly one of the best, most artistic, most atmospheric works of metal I've ever heard. It's beautifully written, and very majestically performed without being too complex. I believe RC may be my new favorite band
+Brandon Garrard I'm so glad! enjoy listening to RC
+Anto nelle I have been. All day lol
The best soundtrack for painting grim dark stuff. So much atmosphere, so much power, so much inspiration. Thank you, Rotting Christ!
same
I am going to upgrade my sound system in my car just because of this album
\m/
Yes, it´s a good idea. This Album is awesome.
Αmen
Funny you should say that. I just did for a trip from Gothenburg to Stockholm and the entire journey was like a meditative trip. Don't forget something for the 30-40hz frequencies in the trunk ;)
Whoa you can get things that just create that frequency in the background to induce certain states? and it works? I'm all over that if so
Amazing show to night, here in Buenos Aires Argentina.
Thank you for your cordiality and good treatment of us.
They have the humility that makes them great.
I hope to see you soon again.
The Greek gods of Ades, shaped their 28 years of good music in a single show.!!!! \m/
THANKS, THANKS, THANKS FOR EVER THANKS.!!!!!!!!!!
*Listens to 2 songs from this band*
Favourite black metal band already.
Yeah I thought Immortal was the only Black Metal band I'd like (more of a thrash-death guy) but this album blew me away and made Immortal look...well...mortal haha
You probably never listened to Inquisition... Try "Desolate Funeral Chant". Sounds like track 2 of this album
if you haven't tried agalloch's first 3 albums ( 2nd and 3rd especially) they are must listens
yeah i never understood the black metal categorization, i always saw them as more death than anything
It's Extreme Metal
This album is such a masterpiece... the living proof that metal is a genre that can still give many great surprises, a gift for all the metalheads. ευχαριστώ
A fantastic piece of art! Thank you for this perfect album!
Recently I had a very strange experience with Rotting Christ when I drove my car, and listened to this album. I was driving safely and listened to this album, then I was at the borders of my country. I simply missed the town exit sign on the highway. It never happened with me beforehand.
So I had to turn back from the border and drive extra 25 miles back :-)
It was a kind of special experience of lost time when your mind travels accross the universe while listening to music...
I've been into metal since the late 80s and I don't understand why I never listen to this band this music is great thanks for the upload
check their discography man, they have 13 albums with special sound
Thou Thanatou is one of the best metal songs I ever heard
search "Του Θάνατου Παράγγειλα -Ξυλούρης,Χρύσανθος Θεοδωρίδης" to hear the original!!!
Yeah, it's monumental!
Originally of this guys is completly, the guitar riffs sounds like be inverted
the lyrics are from the same title song by a greek singer Nikos Xylouris from the island of Crete .A great man with divine voice as it is recognized here in Greece.
That power in tracks is unbelievable! So much energy in every single note!
Dude i've been trying to manage the energy that this album gave me for months hahahahaha
Rotting Christ were always special. We can call it Black Metal, but this is pure music, from heart, mind and soul. Can't name everithing that is near this greatness. Every second, every tune, or melody of this "musisoulical" masterpiece, (there is so close to my inner warm darkness) is so true and embracing. I wish the band and You the "Lovers" all the best! I"ll go and buy the album. NOW!!!!
Yes! Like Therion! Another band that I would label "Therion Metal", if I had to. It has proximity to the grand label Gothic Metal, like Roting Christ is very close to Black Metal, but they are unique in what they do.
Tool?
One more masterpiece by Sakis Tolis and Rotting Christ. Definitely one of the best releases of 2016.
Rotting Christ, Dead Congregation, Septic Flesh, Embrace of Thorns... Our Greek neighbours simply cannot do anything wrong. Cheers.
And Suicidal Angels.

This album is a masterpiece... Greetings from Turkey to our brothers and sisters from Greece.
We are not your brothers nor your sisters. We can be civilized neighbors, though.
Old mc Donald has a farm eieio 👽🤘🖖✌️
@@hermespsychopompos8267 we are and you can't do anything about it. now return to your hole worm.
indeed we are BROTHERS AND SISTERS`A\

!NB
They get better and better with age...like quality wine
I don't think so, I think they will never repeat the masterpieces like dead poem and specially Triarchy of the Lost Lovers
Not really. The Heretics is a downgrade.
@@balhaddadinn well... ty for another to sets of songs to hear :)
a dark occult masterpiece..epic, symphonic and yet dark and ugly as can be...My respects!
To Arno. Once agn that short but perfect definition of the blk metal genre that says i short and true. 2 thumbs up.
I don't like "classic", "ordinary" black metal, I am in love with this band! They are beyond black metal.
I can't believe how good Sakis is. He's super human for composing all this by himself. No other musician can get close to creating such atmosphere, maybe Steve Harris is the only other person capable of such thing in metal and even Steve is not that consistent. Hats off. Respect from Bulgaria.
Truth be told...Totally agree with you.
Bit strong there lad considering the likes of Christos Antoniou, nergal, and Dimmu Borgir exist on the same level. (all God tier)
And Steve Harris ain't even in the starting lineup.
Шо лыбися? Тоже сатанист крапецкенэ? Упророт Лис Фокси Где картинки блядь ты?
Also Christopher Johnson from Therion
He is the only member of Therion who is playing from the beginning
@@andyventures6574 I've just stopped by to mention Christos Antoniou, so thank you for doing it for me 😁
Makes you wonder if there's something about Greece...
Rotting Christ has always been powerful melodic et hypnotizing, that's their spirit. Faithful to themselves therefore to us. My hails to them from Argentina!!!
Orgasmic diabolical minimalism.
Probably the best description of the album I have read so far. ....
i subscribe, agree and keep banging my head ^^
Anti-theist diabolical minimalism.
А чего по-английски? Взяли моду шифроваться.
Perfect album, I love you Rotting Christ!!
Respect Rotting Christ, from Turkey!
Black metal was always about spirit and atmosphere. Well I know that R.Christ can not be defined as a pure Black Metal band but who cares about genres. From the day I started my high school i begun listening to them and as well as catchy riffs they always produced a very encouraging atmosphere. Thy Mighty Contract is the best album imo, there are even some elements of jazz in that album! If oldskull bands like R.christ survives Lightbringer, lord of Darkness shall surely summon the light in The Earth!
I love the combination of primitive/folk/chanting elements with some of the doomy repetition and dark, focused riffs. This album is simply phenomenal.

Élmény hallgatni! Köszönöm Rotting Christ!! Imádom a zenéteket!
Η περηφανεια μας Rotting Christ , ό,τι καλύτερο έχουμε σαν χώρα
Μεγάλη κουβέντα αυτό που είπες, αλλά γενικά έχουμε πάρα πολύ αξιόλογες μπάντες που τυγχάνει να μην τις γνωρίζει πολλής κόσμος.
02. Ze Nigmar 04:40 Holy Shit, this is what Rotting Christ does best
Yesssss
+Oakenbull 06. Tou Thanatou 22:11
+Oakenbull 30:42 makes my stomach drop, awesome shit
When the guitar stops and you just hear "pesach". So fucking good.
DeadLittlePunkDoll are're realy
So I am sure someone will disagree with this statement, but there is no other band that even comes close to the style these guys have. I have loved this band for many many years and they still blow me away.
Yup their signature is unique
Just wish all their poems, stories, fables, that they sing were available always !
What about Septic Flesh ? In terms of atmosphere, orchestral parts etc... Of course they're both different but listing to this album after Septic Flesh's Titan album is a great continuity.
i mean *cough cough* behemoth
@@valentinhuet2345 Close but still not the same, the Chronos album is definitely unique and I still have yet to find a band that is exactly that style.
Incredible . I just discover Rotting Christ with this album . What a punch in the face !!! Greetings from Belgium . Hope to see you very soon here Guys ....
2 βδομάδες χύνω ασυστόλως. Thanks Rotting Christ!
Very spiritual and deep. This is a sofisticated piece of art. My deepest respect.
Bravo RC!
Bravo Sakis!
Over The Top!
This album is a masterpiece.
AMAZING ALBUM...I LOVE GREECE... RITUALSSSSSSS............... I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Me and my boys have been head banging to this album since it release..... Awesome Album!!!
me and my boys have been banging to this album as well ;)
this band is underrated, but for me they are in another level!
I knew Rotting Christ from my early Metal days. I think i have their first record on vinyl still somewhere. Haven't heard them since and clicked this without any big expectations. But this is so good. Holy moly i am surprised.
I'm fucking obsessed with RC now. So fucking good.
Came here after listening to Septic Flesh. Am not disappointed. Thank you, Greece.
You just mentioned my 2 favourite bands as far as my country's BM scene 😊
These two should definitely tour together at some point.
Μάλλον το αγαπημένο μου άλμπουμ RC καθώς μου έκανε τρομερό κλικ. Δεν πρέπει να κρίνεις αυτό το άλμπουμ με βάση τα riffs, παρά με το σκοπό του. Ακούγεται το κάθε κομμάτι σαν επίκληση-τελετή εκφράζοντας πλήρως τον τίτλο του. Φοβερό feel, από την αρχή μέχρι το τέλος. Αριστούργημα.
Kai riffares με βάση αυτό που θέλει να πει
Hail to my Greek Metal brothers . All love and respect for the hard work. Rituals has surely taken us far behind the sun.
Elthe Kyrie - Amazing Song
My favorite: Tou Thanatou
The construction of the lyrics and atmospheres of this album throws me deep in a fascinating journey through the myth, the occult, and the history itself.
Hail Rotting Christ,
It's truly a gift for the music's chronology.
Truly exceptional, and this isn't just some empty "fanboi" comment, having actually known the guys since 1986 and also having the privilege to witness the birth of this band and its growth, all the way to the present day. Εύγε Σάκη, Θέμη και όλοι οι υπόλοιποι συμμετέχοντες!
Holy hell I just now stumbled across these guys and I am just in aw of there sound. I can't stop listening to them. Definitely art here.
Know the difference between their, there, and they're.
Fuck you, grammar Nazi.
Fuck you too, illiterate degenerate.
Learn the difference between to, too, and two. What a moron.
That's all you got. lol !
Great album
Rotting Christ was the first black metal band i ever listened to and blow my mind with their unique melodies & riffs. Greek ancient lyrics and references are the "basic" element of RC albums. Epic
My first BM band too. Back in the year 2001
My first BM band was Watain, after that I listened other famous BM bands like Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone, Dimmu Borgir etc. however I never liked Rotting Christ they are weird BM band for me, it's doesn't sound classic for me.
I have listening since the early 80s, so tracing the development of the genre for 35+ years.
New layers are added as bands strive for originality both in lyrics, music and Tone,
The late 80s and 90s were just a little bonkers though.
Just discovered this band and what a brutal sounding album this is. highly impressive work!
Addicted to Rotting Christ!
one of the best albums I have hear in a while.
Это лучший альбом всего человечества.Он затмил все группы мною услышанные.Нечто.
Holy crap! I like this better than Κατά τον δαίμονα!
Never thought I'd say that
Unbelievable great. Best Black Metal Band in my opinion.
Billions of zillions of thumbs up to this album!
Rotting Christ 🔥 best band ever!
🇲🇽
The composition of the music,
the musical arrangements, the composition, everything is amazing.
Albumara gia akomh mia fwra apo tous Sapio Xristo!!!
I approve very highly of this work. I am a Luthier of fine stringed instruments and my tastes are unique.
And I am sure they are grateful of your fine tasted approval, Sir Peacock XD.
Just kiddin' Im up my arse about my eclectic taste in music too.
Truly, this is a metal master piece.
This such an absolute perfection! I cannot believe that I just found this jewel.. On repeat and then one more time here we go!!
Piece of art. Again. Nothing else to add.
Incredible album! Respect from Bulgaria!
best black metal band and from my home country also ελλαδαρα ρεεεεεεεεεεε
I am .. hardcore rockin' this house... thank you !
First listen through on this record! WOW! Truly amazing!
I had never heard Rotting Christ before this, but now my mind can not stop repeating "In Nomine Dei Nostri Satanas Luciferi Excelsi !!" ♪ ♫
DO NOT !
Thats a good thing. I say it EVERY DAY, MULTIPLE TIMES
I have never payed attention to this band before, this album is great! Really good..
Damn!!! pure and real metal!!!
This is an amazing album. Sadly I have always avoided 'Rotting Christ' because I just assumed it was just another screamo band, but holy shit I won't be making that mistake again.
Every song has at least one part that makes the hair on my arms stand up and I don't get that much anymore.
Tell me you don't get out your air guitar when For A Voice Like Thunder comes on...
Ze Nigmar is currently my favorite but that seems to change every time I listen this this
Without a doubt, this is Rotting Christ's opus magnum. This album is just too damn good! Hail!
doesnt that mean thing they made before death? you planning a murder?
Amazing
What a wonderful creation.
Just went through this album . Holy shit!
This is amazing work!
Love how great the sound is . . kudos to mastering engineer.
Favorite song is Track 7 (For a voice like thunder) . . just the feel of it is amazing!
Great job you guys! Looking forward to more music!! :D
F@%king great album. Nice to see not all old bands sold out.
Ze Nigmar is so epic.
Máster piece... like always.... Rotting.....forever
Beautiful album, one of my favorites.
Je viens de découvrir et j'aime énormément !! Superbe découverte !
Five years later. Still fresh, ironically.
Work of Art!!!
Un álbum fantástico, con atmósferas fuertes y oscuras donde algunas de ellas realmente te transportan a un tiempo ancestral. Es una verdadera joya. Gracias por tanto talento.
Han ido cambiando el sonido. Tanto así que Salía saco álbum como solista. A mi me gusta. Pero mi favorito Triarchy Of The Love Lovers.
The best Greek black metal band out there!
(Best band from Greece overall, ^^,)
Hail from Sweden!
Maybe the best in the world
Them and Septic Flesh..different style but very powerful all the same..since you are Swedish what's your country's favourite?
Better late then never. I discovered this magnificent band recently and I love it!
...me too !
check for their discography brother, they are 30 years old band with 13 albums...so underrated band and special sound from other to other album...
start going backwards starting from this disc ;)
This album gives me the chills any day. One of the best!
beautiful album
How can people dislike this masterpiece ???
Oh they just have to click on the hand whose thumb is pointing 'down' instead of the hand who's pointing 'up.'
They are bots not people😄
Simply put.. my favorite album. I can see Sakis is a very spiritual person.
Hail from Italy
An other masterpiece! This is Art!
Όλα τα κομμάτια είναι φανταστικά και μεταφυσικά συνδέοντας το πνεύμα με την μουσική. Σας ευχαριστώ .
+Lilith936 Οντως αλλα θα ηθελα στο επομενο τους αλμπουμ να φυγουν λιγο απο αυτο τον ηχο γιατι εχει αρχισει να γινεται λιγο κουραστικος,ουσιαστικα αυτος ο δισκος ειναι το δευτερο μερος του ''Κατα τον δαιμονα ευατου''...
'Ερεβος έχει κοινά -σίγουρα . Ωστόσο προσωπικά μπορώ να καλό δεχτώ και τρίτο όμοιο δίσκο. ☺
it's like another chapter of kata demonaie. well done. very similar climate, but with some changes during winter.
Probably their best album! Cheers from Albania!
No idea why some people consider this album mediocre. Rotting christ have been active for decades, its natural that theyll change their style and if anything- its for the best. This album really brings out some good solid black metal.
Tout simplement au dessus du lot.Pas un morceau à jeter.Profond,inspiré, puissant, violent, épique tout est réuni de façon harmonieuse presque un miracle.
Speechless. Inmense. You have done it again.
Powerful music for mind and soul and Rotting Christ always delivers the best leads since all these years, no album dissapoints! The most solid band ever!
My evenings ritual to listen to the album before i sleep xx
