Album Review: ROTTING CHRIST - Abyssic Black Metal
Do you like your metal like you like your coffee? Dark, intense, and with a hint of Satan? Look no further than ROTTING CHRIST's latest offering, Abyssic Black Metal. This Greek band has been churning out blackened hits since the early '90s, and they show no signs of slowing down on this latest release.
From the moment you press play, you're hit with a wall of sound that is as intense as it is hypnotic. The riffs are razor-sharp, the vocals are guttural, and the drums pack a punch that could knock out a charging bull. It's like being dragged through the depths of hell by a demon with a taste for shredding solos.
But don't be fooled by the sheer brutality of Abyssic Black Metal – there's a surprising amount of melody and atmosphere woven throughout the chaos. Songs like "The Heretics" and "Vetry Zlye" showcase the band's ability to create a sense of foreboding darkness that lingers long after the final chord has faded away.
In true ROTTING CHRIST fashion, the production is top-notch, with every instrument and demonic growl coming through crystal clear. It's like being surrounded by a horde of hellspawn in the best possible way.
So grab your scythe, don your blackest cape, and prepare to be taken on a journey to the deepest, darkest depths of metal with Abyssic Black Metal. ROTTING CHRIST have once again proven why they're legends in the black metal scene – hail Satan!
