Rotting Christ

Legendary Greek entity Rotting Christ are a true certainty in terms of delivering abstract, yet fundamental album releases ever since their early foundation in 1989. Experimenting and stylistically metamorphosing throughout different, yet always obscure layers of elements from varying styles of heavier music has truly driven Rotting Christ to achieve a very distinct sound, giving the band a very special position within the realm of the black metal scene.
