Greek Black Metal legends, ROTTING CHRIST, have released an official anniversary video for “The Opposite Bank”, featured on their 1996 album, “Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers”.
The band comments: ” ‘Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers’ becomes 27 years today and we celebrate this by creating this little video for you. Hope you will enjoy.”
In late 2022, ROTTING CHRIST dropped a surprise EP, “The Apocryphal Spells Vol. I”, via Century Media Records. This first volume of songs is a collection of studio and live bonus tracks that were previously only available on select physical products; now, fans can stream these rarities for the first time online HERE.
ROTTING CHRIST was founded by Sakis Tolis (vocals, guitars) and his brother Themis Tolis (drums) in 1987. Starting out as Death/Grind, the Greeks embarked on a darker musical journey by the time their debut full-length, “Thy Mighty Contract” (1993), was released.
On the following seven albums -spanning a ten-year period from “Non Serviam” (1994) to “Sanctus Diavolos” (2004)] – ROTTING CHRIST steadily defined their own distinct style by experimenting with elements from Death, Heavy and Gothic Metal without betraying their Black roots. At the same time, the band went from underground heroes to headliner status.
With their highly acclaimed ninth album, “Theogonia” (2007), the Greek stalwarts added an unmistakable native element to their sound, which has remained with them as a signature trademark ever since.
