Our Take

Rotting Christ's latest album, "A Dead Poem," is a cacophony of dark and brooding melodies that will leave you feeling both terrified and invigorated. Drawing from the depths of black metal and injecting it with their own unique flair, this Greek outfit proves once again why they are legends in the extreme music scene.

From the opening track, "Sorrowful Farewell," to the hauntingly beautiful "Among Two Storms," Rotting Christ expertly weaves a tapestry of sinister sounds that will transport you to a world of pure darkness and despair. The vocals of frontman Sakis Tolis are as chilling as ever, evoking a sense of dread that is hard to shake off.

The production on "A Dead Poem" is top-notch, with each instrument standing out in the mix while still maintaining a cohesive and atmospheric sound. The guitars are razor-sharp, the drums thunderous, and the bass ominously rumbling beneath it all. It's a sonic assault on the senses that will leave you begging for more.

In a genre that can often feel stale and repetitive, Rotting Christ manages to breathe new life into black metal with "A Dead Poem." It's a masterclass in how to create music that is simultaneously brutal and beautiful, terrifying and transcendent. If you're a fan of extreme music, this album is a must-listen. Don't sleep on Rotting Christ – they're still at the top of their game.
