More Info
Spearheaded by brothers Sakis & Themis Tolis, Rotting Christ have remained one
of the strongest & most respected forces in the black metal scene since their
debut release 'Passage Of Arcturo'. Their legacy towards greatness was
cemented even further by the genre classic follow- up 'Thy Mighty Contract',
helping to frmly establish the Greek scene as being among the most essential
black metal movements of the early 90's. Through continuous live work & an
extensive body of releases, Rotting Christ continue to be one of the top names of
the black metal scene.'A Dead Poem' - the band's fourth full-length studio album -
was originally released in 1997 & was the follow- up to 'Triarchy Of The Lost
Lovers' which, with a more melodic & dynamic scope to the compositions, saw
Rotting Christ achieve acclaim beyond the black metal spectrum. This direction
was further developed on 'A Dead Poem', for what was to become the band's
most successful album to date. With a by- now fnely honed craft of darkly
atmospheric composition & an aura of anthemic melancholy combined with a
few more gothic- styled elements throughout, 'A Dead Poem' achieved a certain
accessibility & acceptance within a broader demographic, leading to a further
ascension through the ranks of metal's greats for Rotting Christ
