Who Still Listen In 2024

There's enough metal in this song to triple the size of the Indian Navy.

I'm buddhist, desi, and a HUUUGE metalhead. real banger here. feeling connected af to the dharma while doing math homework. thanks :)

Finally my Hindu parents wouldn't have to complain about my metal listening habits

Many people asking for translation, thus posting in the main thread. This is inspired from an Ode to Lord Shiva, considered the God of the Gods and The Destroyer according to Hindu Mythology. The language is Sanskrit. I was blow when I saw RC did a song in Sanskrit, and it sounds sick. I have compiled the parts used in the song along with English Translation for anyone who is curious: Starts with 'Gayatri Mantra' followed by the 'Strota' (Ode). Devadevam jagannatham devesam vrushabhadwajam, Namami sirasa devam, kim no mrutyu karishyathi. The Lord, Who is the God of gods, Who is the lord of the earth, And who has the bull flag. What can death do to the one, Who salutes with his head to the god. Anatham avyayam santham akshamala dharam haram, Who is limitless, Who cannot be explained, Who is peaceful, Who is the killer, And who wears the garland of ruraxs (literally translates to furious eyes. Aaandham, paramam nithyam, kaivalya pada dhayinam, Who is happiness, Who is beyond thought, Who is stable, And who grants salvation. Swargapavarga datharam srushti sthithyanthakarinam, Who grant heaven and salvation, Who looks after creation, upkeep and destruction. This keeps repeating, with some other names of Shiva thrown in along with 'Namah/Namami' which means 'I bow to thee'.

A black metal band singing songs about Hindu Gods. Love from Nepal. \m/

I am 100% European. My Pagan brothers might disagree with me for this or call me ludicrous, but I worship both our ancestor's god, Odin and Lord Shiva. Hindu people may call me ludicrous for such, but these are my gods. I bow to my god, Lord Shiva. Namah, Lord Shiva. I bow to you, Wodin.

Everyone gangsta till shiva opens eye number 3.

This is a spiritual experience.

Well... Greeks' and Hindus' relations go waaaaaay back... and so does their music and culture, from what it seems here.

As a "Yoga-Doing Metallhead", I'm Blown away by the song and the fact that I missed this till now. This is pure gold! Namaste

Muslim and Indian guy here. Blasted this in my Islamic theology class. No regrets at all. Loved this!

I'm a proud hindu and a metalhead. By God, I swear I can achieve the occult with this masterpiece. Hail Shiva and Odin!!!

The best way to find such great art is by accident.

At the dawn of the Kali Yuga, this song will resonate through the cosmos.

I love this band and the songs more than anything ! Greetings from Germany to all Rotting Christ Fans.

WOW! I'm from India, the land where Sanskrit was born..yet, never heard anything like that...what a creation...the word "anandam" means "happiness", never would have believed happiness can be expressed in such a dark way...it's like mixing life with death, and creating something unique..

hi, I'm from india never heard old Sanskrit slokas in black metal genre never been done in ages and nobody can expect sakis...been a die hard fan of rotting christ since last 14yrs and got a chance to meet sakis on Bangalore tour..long live RC.keep the horns rising

Their pronunciation is so on point! Super impressed 🙌 Om Namah Shivaye 🙏

Anyone who likes Sanskrit molded with metal music should go check out this band called Rudra. They are the fathers of Vedic Metal and most of their lyrics are written in Sanskrit. The vocalist Kathir from Rudra has given the vocals for this song.

I need a 10 hour version of this.

I am an Indian and this is a way better thought and executed than the local priests do it.

What an absolute masterpiece Rotting Christ continuing to push the metal boundaries further than they’ve ever been pushed before

Im an atheist, but damn! This song is so hypnotic, makes me want to ''pray'' to the universe while I'm under open sky and I'll wait for the perfect thunder storm till I get freeze to feel the absolute cold to the core

sakis is one well-read and educated dude

What Hindu . what Greek. What Islam..... music binds us all and this type of an arrangement is an experience... from darkness to light....it is epic.... timeless and is the end and the beginning of time . From dinosaurs to humanoids to cyber bots AI...its all and everything

i'm addicted to this song even though i'm Pakistani and don't understand a single word.What a beautiful prayer!

How many people on Earth have been lucky enough to have experienced this kind of music? Wow. Freaking nuts. Love it 🤘

I'm in shock, the mantra tune sounds amazing !!

I dont listen to a lot of metal, but youtube really blessed me with this recommendation. Namah Shivaya from Nepal!

Nothing is more metal than Hinduism! Har Har Mahadeva🚩🕉

Holy shit that was mind blowing. Playing on repeat!

This is metals mantra, the only one we need to calm our hearts and our minds

Okay this is awesome. The hymn sound in the background with the instrumental and screams and whispers all in one. Cool fuckin sound

I have this habit of waking up, putting this on play and start my yoga routine, perfect balance between chaos and calm ... Greetings from Panama 🇵🇦

How can this song be so simple and addicting at the same time? =s

Not a lot of people will notice this. I absolutely love how the guitars were never palm muted during the whole song. That's a modern metal thing to do but this is not a metal song. It's a prayer. All the chords were allowed to play fully to respect the religious element of this song.

My chakras aligned, GOOSEBUMPS, EVERYTIME. OM NAMAH SHIVAY

Indo Greek 🇮🇳🇬🇷 Proud to be half Indian and half greek 💪 卐

I am from India and thank you for this masterpiece. We will keep this alive.

Hinduism is currently one of the most metal cultures out there other than the ancient pagans

When I asked the lead guitarist of one of my favourite bands, which band he loves the most, he said "Rotting Christ". It was a surprise. But with each listening I understand him a bit better.

Dear Mata Kali, remove the harmful abusive people from any state service, demonstrate to us your protection dear mata Kali. Establish the balance. Give No permission to abuse the people like I and myself.

I have finally found you, the band I have been looking for all this time. Eternal Gratitude to You Rotting Christ.

I introduced myself to Rotting Christ back in 2007 and instantly became a fan. The first song I heard will always be my favourite, Serve in heaven. I am an Indian and had being following this band since back then, not just because of this song. Big fan Sakis back since Non Serviam.

The song name is देवदेवं which is in Sanskrit language, pronounced as “Dēvadēvaṁ” and it means “God of Gods”. The whole song atmosphere and lyrics are in Sanskrit (sacred language of Hindu) dedicated to many Hindu gods, lords and goddess

Καλά εντάξει...Τι φτιάχνουν οι άνθρωποι!!!Είμαι υπερήφανος που είστε Έλληνες.Νόμιζα οτι κάθε ελπίδα στη μουσική είχε χαθεί.

just having one of my heaviest goosebumps after listening to this piece.

Love from Germany. Inspiring song and band. Love rotting christ.

Hinduism is the most glorious Pagan Religion I'm a Proud Hindu, a Proud Pagan🤘

Been listening this prayer all and all again. It's sacred. I am following Rotting Christ since 16 years. You never stop amaze me. Look at your music and what you achieve!

Shiva - The official God of Metal! \m/

🙏Namastè🙏 love from Switzerland🇨🇭 hail lord Shiva 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 i love mythology with melodic metal 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

07.12.2023 WOW...AMAZING SONG im hindu from bali,thanks for this song,sanskrith language,,,its cool,,, keren bangettt...matur suksma 🙏🙏🙏

This is such an emotional piece of art .... Hail Shiva 👽👽🤘🏼🤘🏼

This gives me goosebumps every time! Captures the spirit of Shiva as Rudra/AdiYogi. Totally imagining sitting at the foot of the mighty, unforgiving Himalaya & listening to this...

Saya suka lagu roting christ...bersemangat..hantu pun takut dengar lagu ini..👍

Beautiful meditation music... Inside peace.

It's not anti-god, instead its a prayer

greeting from Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵

First time I came across this stuff. I am a die hard heavy metal fan. I love Eleine, Alisha White, Melisha and other metal singers. Can't believe to see some ancient hindu stuff. Tons of love from India. I heard Rotting Christ in Ancient Greek it is also a marvel.

Incredible mantra/song/prayer/wtf/absolutely amazing…

this song is absolutely insane! A greek black metal band singing about hindu mythology in Sanskrit! If that's not secularism through globalization I don't know what is.

Thank you for doing a song on Hinduism for a change... love this \m/

I show this to people when they ask me about my religion

When a prayer sounds like a summoning and a line says one who wears a garland of plucked eyes you know that Lord Shiva the destroyer is a rebel and a metal GOD

Man is God asleep And God is man awakened..

Sanskrit ( autoglotónimo संस्कृतम् saṃskṛtam ) is a classical language of India , plus one of the oldest documented , after the Hittite and Mycenaean Greek Indo-European languages ​​Sanskrit is mainly used as a ceremonial language in Hindu rituals , in the form of hymns and mantras. Its pre-classic form , Vedic Sanskrit ( the ritual language of the Vedic religion ) is one of the oldest members of the Indo-European family

I come back to this every now and then.. so peaceful 😌🔥✨

Over the years I've listened to this often. Easily one of my favourite songs.

The best art sound of my life, Rotting Christ is amazing they are the best of the best. Congratulations.... of brazil.

The spell of Shiva is about to be completed

Man I feel like I’m going to the temple in my hometown and the monk are singing death metal, no kidding the monk in Buddism mostly the pray in Bali Sanskrit

Hindus, I am glad your gods have not yet been stomped out. Props to those who can hail to their gods without being painted an outcast to the mainstream masses of christianity and its components. We may hail to different gods, hindus, but cheers to you. And cheers to those gods you hail, theyre still prominent.

i am from a hindu family but an athiest.....i love this one good job

everyone gangsta till shiva starts dancing

the best song i heard in this year

this is unbelievable

Indian musicians should take notes, after all it's in Sanskrit!

Shiva is a pre-vedic deity. He is seen as Pashupati (lord of animals) in the Indus Valley seals. He is seated in yogic form surrounded by animals.

_¡¡"Wow!!!, Magnífico y en Sánscrito, la Canción a Shiva; Dios de la Destrucción y uno de los Creadores del Universo en la mitología Hindú🔥🎼💯_

Masterpiece and video. I just love this! Namaste guys

Gives me chills down my spine and goosebumps all over powerful stuff....

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded

This sound is extremely awesome for my spirit!

Listen to this while rock climbing, out of this world

Great song as expected from RC, Therion also made a song depicting Hindu Culture with "Eye Of Shiva". Metal bands should explore more this wondrous culture.

Everyone thinks natraj is cool till they know the moment he starts dancing is the moment when everything ends

Hinduism is the last pillar of ancient paganism.Respect 🙏🙏🙏

Mannn. Rotting Christ has been one of the most consistent metal band for the past 25 years. Not one of their release was bad. Followed their transition from early grindcore right until now. Never disappoint. Also nice to see Rudra's vocalist got a chance here. Underrated band. Hail RC!

RC has been one of my favourite bands for around a decade now and I still love 'em! They are so deep & epic 🤘🏾🤘🏾

Om Namah Shivaya! The symmetry with Sanskrit language was awesome... I'm literally stoned.

Oh wow y'all are like the heavenly angels choir this is unbelievable! No wonder there are so many tributes.

Om Namah Shivaay 🙏 Jai Mahakal 🕉️

No words can describe this! Unic masterpiece!

I’m here boys. With a voice like thunder. Thanks for the baptism by 🔥 Om Namo Shivaya

This takes me back to the time of the Greco-Indian kingdom 🤟🏻
