In the pantheon of heavy music, few names resonate as profoundly as Rotting Christ. Behind a legacy that has both defined and defied the realms of black metal, the Greek legends carve out a fresh set of dark, melodic scriptures on their new album. “Pro Xristou” is a grandiose narrative born of fire, rebellion, and an unbreakable spirit.
“Pro Xristou” comes out this Friday, May 24th, on Season of Mist. However, you can listen to all 10 epic songs today from the full album stream below.
From the labyrinthine depths of Hades to the celestial might of Zeus, “Pro Xristou” embarks on an odyssey through the history of mythology and paganism. The album is a monument, etched with the profound lyrics of Sakis Tolis, that explores themes of defiance and enlightenment, set against the historical background of paganism’s last stand against monotheism.
The title track sets the tone, opening the album with a battle cry that unites the Chthonic with the divine, solidifying Rotting Christ‘s journey from the underworld to the pantheon of metal gods.
