Welcome stranger,welcome my son
You see ,you hear, you never talk
We praise a legend,we praise the death
This mystic place, Is not the end

Shout out the devil,shout out the death
The sons of evil,we raise the dead
Our voice is quiet, but not our strength
Never divided, in league with death

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία πενταετία ουσιαστικά για τους Rotting Christ. Πρόκειται για το 14ο full length album των Ελλήνων metallers, φέρει τον τίτλο "Pro Xristoy" και κυκλοφορεί ήδη μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Season of Mist σε cd, βινύλιο και ψηφιακή μορφή.

Η θεματολογία του δίσκου σύμφωνα με την μπάντα «This album was inspired by the might of ancient pagan wisdom. It’s a tribute to those who resisted the coming of Christianity, which destroyed all the values, traditions and knowledge of the ancient world.»

Παρακουλούμε το μουσικό βίντεο του τραγουδιού "Pyx Lax Dax" για το οποίο η μπάντα μας λέει: «'Pyx Lax Dax' is the 7th song of band's latest album 'Pro Xristou' ,a song composed by Sakis Tolis ,recorded in Deva Sounds Studio in Athens and mixed in Fascination Street Studio Sweden. Guest female vocals by Androniki Soula Video and illustrationsby Haris Kountouris.»

Δελτίο τύπου: «For over three decades, Tolis brothers Sakis and Themis have carved a blackened path through the metal world.

Architects of the Hellenic black metal, Rotting Christ have been blending histrionic atmospheres, mesmerizing choirs, and neo-classical arrangements for 35 years.

Now, the Greek metal legends present their 14th studio album: ‘Pro Xristou’.

Translating to “Before Christ” in Greek, this album is a fervent tribute to the last Pagan kings who stood resilient against the Christian tide, safeguarding ancient values and knowledge.

Dive deep into the legacies of figures like Flavius Claudius Julianus and Nordic mythological kings through tracks such as "The Apostate" and "Ygdrassil".

‘Pro Xristou’ encapsulates the essence of Rotting Christ's signature style - a melodic symphony with moments of unyielding harshness.

Artwork by Thomas Cole (1801-1848), the cover art is 'Destruction', which is part of the painting series 'The Course of Empire'.»
