ROTTING CHRIST
AEalo

Digipak with 8-page booklet

On ROTTING CHRIST’s 10th studio album, “Theogonia”, the Greek Black Metal Gods return faithful to their ancient blackened-gothic style while materializing as a faster, more aggressive entity.

The established melodies of the past are indeed alive but this new apparition is cloaked with deeper atmospheric and epic elements as they recall the sordid history of their country land.

CD with 4-page booklet featuring artwork and lyrics.

Rotting Christ formed in 1988. The band's early demo recordings contained Grindcore elements that quickly evolved into something altogether darker. Spearheaded by brothers Sakis and Themis Tolis, Rotting Christ have remained one of the most respected forces in the Black Metal scene since their debut release Passage To Arcturo. The band's legacy was cemented further by the genre classic follow-up Thy Mighty Contract. 

Passage To Arcturo was the band’s debut studio offering and was originally released in 1991. Featuring a lo-fi raw take on Black Metal, Rotting Christ also masterfully wove some of their trademark atmosphere and sombre melodies with occult themes to create something altogether unique for the time, with the band over the years becoming one of the enduring premier staples of the whole Black Metal genre.

For 35 years, Greek metal legend ROTTING CHRIST has been mastering the art of dark, melodic hymns – forging a legacy in the iconic Hellenic black metal style.
‘35 Years of Evil Existence’ is a live album that captures the essence of ROTTING CHRIST. From classic tracks such as “The Raven”, “Demonon Vrosis” and “666”, as well as older cuts “Among Two Storms” (1997) or even “The Sign of Evil Existence” (1993), this extraordinary performance, captured in the grandeur of their homeland's Lycabettus Theatre, is a monumental homage to their relentless journey over the years.
Imagine nearly two hours of fierce and unyielding devotion, a musical pilgrimage through their storied career—from the raw, primal anthems of their early days to the symphonic and gothic grandiosity of their most recent creations.
Available on vinyl, CD and digital, this release immortalizes a night where the raw emotion and ritualistic intensity converged in a symphony of blackened harmony. Brothers and sisters of metal, experience the true metal spirit as imaged by the legendary ROTTING CHRIST.

With 12 studio albums, a dozen EPs, singles and split releases, as well as more than 1.250 shows under their belts so far, it is high time ROTTING CHRIST get a proper compilation spanning their 30+ years career. The 2-CD set 'Their Greatest Spells' takes a retrospective look at the cult Greek band's fascinating musical development by picking a select choice of key tracks covering the many facets of ROTTING CHRIST. With such a massive catalogue, a "best of" compilation will always lead to controversy about certain additions as well as omissions from the final list, but the involvement of frontman Sakis Tolis himself in this difficult task ensures that the result is at least relevant.
