Five years after their last album “Heretics”, the Hellenic Black Metallers ROTTING CHRIST return with a new album! This new release is entitled “Pro Xristoy” that means “Before Christ” in the Greek language! As it is said, it promises more Metal, atmosphere and melody than ever, while the first single will be released in a short time!
Below you can read the press-release of their label, Season Of Mist:
ROTTING CHRIST have stood the test of time. While their name has caused plenty of gatekeepers to clutch their pearls, Sakis Tolis and has brother Themis have ascended from Greece’s blackened catacombs to one of metal’s most formidable bands.
This year, ROTTING CHRIST are celebrating 35 years of evil excellence with their 14th album. “Pro Xristoy” is bound to hold a revered place in the band’s heretical history. Always true to their name, with “Pro Xristoy” (“Before Christ”), the band pay tribute to the last of the Pagan kings by offering up more towering, gothic, melodic black metal.
Now that ROTTING CHRIST are closing in on four decades, some followers might’ve wondered if there was any sacred ground left for them to conquer. But “Pro Xristoy” is a testament to a band that’s still on the rise.
To kick off what’s shaping up to be a year’s worth of devilish festivities, ROTTING CHRIST are heading off on a tour of Latin America. Fans from Mexico to Argentina will have the pleasure of banging their heads to an unholy litany of the band’s greatest hits. They’ll also be treated to new songs off “Pro Xristoy” that are bound to become setlist staples.
