I dont care what anyone says, whatever Sakis Tolis produces, plays and writes I will listen and adore. Such a great musician with such passion and respect for what he is doing. Having the experience of 25 years yet still so wise and down to earth. The best musician ever, the best band ever!

from my point of view, this album is again a significant piece of art. Many fans consider it to be average, but i think this is because they were expecting riffs .But, please, judge it as a composition. If you listen to classical/orchestral music, you know that some great composers lean more towards atmosphere and the general composition.the harmonies, the pictures created etcA good metal album does not have to be all about riffs. its not rock n roll. Metal artists are allowed to expand and try different approaches. I believe that RC were aiming at a particular atmosphere and they did it right.peace n love ❤

The best soundtrack for painting grim dark stuff. So much atmosphere, so much power, so much inspiration. Thank you, Rotting Christ!

I am going to upgrade my sound system in my car just because of this album

Amazing show to night, here in Buenos Aires Argentina. Thank you for your cordiality and good treatment of us. They have the humility that makes them great. I hope to see you soon again. The Greek gods of Ades, shaped their 28 years of good music in a single show.!!!! \m/ THANKS, THANKS, THANKS FOR EVER THANKS.!!!!!!!!!!

Rotting Christ, Dead Congregation, Septic Flesh, Embrace of Thorns... Our Greek neighbours simply cannot do anything wrong. Cheers.

Thou Thanatou is one of the best metal songs I ever heard

*Listens to 2 songs from this band* Favourite black metal band already.

Orgasmic diabolical minimalism.

I can't believe how good Sakis is. He's super human for composing all this by himself. No other musician can get close to creating such atmosphere, maybe Steve Harris is the only other person capable of such thing in metal and even Steve is not that consistent. Hats off. Respect from Bulgaria.

Rotting Christ were always special. We can call it Black Metal, but this is pure music, from heart, mind and soul. Can't name everithing that is near this greatness. Every second, every tune, or melody of this "musisoulical" masterpiece, (there is so close to my inner warm darkness) is so true and embracing. I wish the band and You the "Lovers" all the best! I"ll go and buy the album. NOW!!!!

a dark occult masterpiece..epic, symphonic and yet dark and ugly as can be...My respects!

I've been into metal since the late 80s and I don't understand why I never listen to this band this music is great thanks for the upload

One more masterpiece by Sakis Tolis and Rotting Christ. Definitely one of the best releases of 2016.

02. Ze Nigmar 04:40 Holy Shit, this is what Rotting Christ does best

That power in tracks is unbelievable! So much energy in every single note!

This album is such a masterpiece... the living proof that metal is a genre that can still give many great surprises, a gift for all the metalheads. ευχαριστώ

They get better and better with age...like quality wine

A fantastic piece of art! Thank you for this perfect album! Recently I had a very strange experience with Rotting Christ when I drove my car, and listened to this album. I was driving safely and listened to this album, then I was at the borders of my country. I simply missed the town exit sign on the highway. It never happened with me beforehand. So I had to turn back from the border and drive extra 25 miles back :-) It was a kind of special experience of lost time when your mind travels accross the universe while listening to music...

This album is a masterpiece... Greetings from Turkey to our brothers and sisters from Greece.

I love the combination of primitive/folk/chanting elements with some of the doomy repetition and dark, focused riffs. This album is simply phenomenal.

So I am sure someone will disagree with this statement, but there is no other band that even comes close to the style these guys have. I have loved this band for many many years and they still blow me away.

Rotting Christ has always been powerful melodic et hypnotizing, that's their spirit. Faithful to themselves therefore to us. My hails to them from Argentina!!!

Η περηφανεια μας Rotting Christ , ό,τι καλύτερο έχουμε σαν χώρα

Respect Rotting Christ, from Turkey! Black metal was always about spirit and atmosphere. Well I know that R.Christ can not be defined as a pure Black Metal band but who cares about genres. From the day I started my high school i begun listening to them and as well as catchy riffs they always produced a very encouraging atmosphere. Thy Mighty Contract is the best album imo, there are even some elements of jazz in that album! If oldskull bands like R.christ survives Lightbringer, lord of Darkness shall surely summon the light in The Earth!

I don't like "classic", "ordinary" black metal, I am in love with this band! They are beyond black metal.

Rotting Christ was the first black metal band i ever listened to and blow my mind with their unique melodies & riffs. Greek ancient lyrics and references are the "basic" element of RC albums. Epic

Μάλλον το αγαπημένο μου άλμπουμ RC καθώς μου έκανε τρομερό κλικ. Δεν πρέπει να κρίνεις αυτό το άλμπουμ με βάση τα riffs, παρά με το σκοπό του. Ακούγεται το κάθε κομμάτι σαν επίκληση-τελετή εκφράζοντας πλήρως τον τίτλο του. Φοβερό feel, από την αρχή μέχρι το τέλος. Αριστούργημα.

Me and my boys have been head banging to this album since it release..... Awesome Album!!!

Came here after listening to Septic Flesh. Am not disappointed. Thank you, Greece.

Это лучший альбом всего человечества.Он затмил все группы мною услышанные.Нечто.

Holy hell I just now stumbled across these guys and I am just in aw of there sound. I can't stop listening to them. Definitely art here.

Incredible . I just discover Rotting Christ with this album . What a punch in the face !!! Greetings from Belgium . Hope to see you very soon here Guys ....

Very spiritual and deep. This is a sofisticated piece of art. My deepest respect. Bravo RC! Bravo Sakis!

I'm fucking obsessed with RC now. So fucking good.

The construction of the lyrics and atmospheres of this album throws me deep in a fascinating journey through the myth, the occult, and the history itself. Hail Rotting Christ, It's truly a gift for the music's chronology.

Unbelievable great. Best Black Metal Band in my opinion.

Addicted to Rotting Christ!

Holy crap! I like this better than Κατά τον δαίμονα! Never thought I'd say that

Elthe Kyrie - Amazing Song

this band is underrated, but for me they are in another level!

I knew Rotting Christ from my early Metal days. I think i have their first record on vinyl still somewhere. Haven't heard them since and clicked this without any big expectations. But this is so good. Holy moly i am surprised.

Perfect album, I love you Rotting Christ!!

Truly exceptional, and this isn't just some empty "fanboi" comment, having actually known the guys since 1986 and also having the privilege to witness the birth of this band and its growth, all the way to the present day. Εύγε Σάκη, Θέμη και όλοι οι υπόλοιποι συμμετέχοντες!

I had never heard Rotting Christ before this, but now my mind can not stop repeating "In Nomine Dei Nostri Satanas Luciferi Excelsi !!" ♪ ♫

I still find this one the most evil sounding and straight up demented black metal albums ever. Those female vocals in Elthe Kyrie send a chill down my spine.

This album is a masterpiece.

I approve very highly of this work. I am a Luthier of fine stringed instruments and my tastes are unique.

Élmény hallgatni! Köszönöm Rotting Christ!! Imádom a zenéteket!

AMAZING ALBUM...I LOVE GREECE... RITUALSSSSSSS............... I LOVE THIS ALBUM

This is an amazing album. Sadly I have always avoided 'Rotting Christ' because I just assumed it was just another screamo band, but holy shit I won't be making that mistake again. Every song has at least one part that makes the hair on my arms stand up and I don't get that much anymore. Tell me you don't get out your air guitar when For A Voice Like Thunder comes on... Ze Nigmar is currently my favorite but that seems to change every time I listen this this

Hail to my Greek Metal brothers . All love and respect for the hard work. Rituals has surely taken us far behind the sun.

one of the best albums I have hear in a while.

2 βδομάδες χύνω ασυστόλως. Thanks Rotting Christ!

Just discovered this band and what a brutal sounding album this is. highly impressive work!

Albumara gia akomh mia fwra apo tous Sapio Xristo!!!

Great album

The composition of the music, the musical arrangements, the composition, everything is amazing.

Un álbum fantástico, con atmósferas fuertes y oscuras donde algunas de ellas realmente te transportan a un tiempo ancestral. Es una verdadera joya. Gracias por tanto talento.

This is just too fucking good to believe it. But it is what it is...what a powerful album...I can't wait to hear these songs played in a live concert.

WTF!!!! Bang... masterpiece right there!!!!!

Truly, this is a metal master piece.

This such an absolute perfection! I cannot believe that I just found this jewel.. On repeat and then one more time here we go!!

Better late then never. I discovered this magnificent band recently and I love it!

Without a doubt, this is Rotting Christ's opus magnum. This album is just too damn good! Hail!

best black metal band and from my home country also ελλαδαρα ρεεεεεεεεεεε

No idea why some people consider this album mediocre. Rotting christ have been active for decades, its natural that theyll change their style and if anything- its for the best. This album really brings out some good solid black metal.

I have never payed attention to this band before, this album is great! Really good..

Rotting Christ 🔥 best band ever! 🇲🇽

The best Greek black metal band out there! (Best band from Greece overall, ^^,) Hail from Sweden!

Billions of zillions of thumbs up to this album!

Piece of art. Again. Nothing else to add.

Όλα τα κομμάτια είναι φανταστικά και μεταφυσικά συνδέοντας το πνεύμα με την μουσική. Σας ευχαριστώ .

How can people dislike this masterpiece ???

Может група переведет что я скажу может нет но я скажу !!!! Я из города Кишинева R.Moldova ! Вы были у нас 2 раза ! Я толко спустя много лет понел на какой команде я побывал ! Ребята настоящий Метал из Греции ! Респект !!!

Powerful music for mind and soul and Rotting Christ always delivers the best leads since all these years, no album dissapoints! The most solid band ever!

it's like another chapter of kata demonaie. well done. very similar climate, but with some changes during winter.

Tout simplement au dessus du lot.Pas un morceau à jeter.Profond,inspiré, puissant, violent, épique tout est réuni de façon harmonieuse presque un miracle.

Este álbum, una excelente obra maestra llena de matices muy extremos que nos hacen vibrar y nos hace sentir vivos, cada pieza nos lleva a un clímax totalmente diferente que nos deja una satisfacción emocional total. Rotting Chist toma literatura de varias culturas y épocas que lo hacen aún más artístico. Gracias Rotting Christ por tu gran bello y obscuro arte que solo la gente sin fronteras mentales lo puede deleitar.

Ze Nigmar is so epic.

That wonderful sensation when you love an album at first listen, and you'll know you'll be listeninig to it again many times in the future. If we can even say such a thing of a BM album: this is simply gorgeous!

This album gives me the chills any day. One of the best!

Máster piece... like always.... Rotting.....forever

First listen through on this record! WOW! Truly amazing!

Ok so I have listened to this over and over all day.....I have things to say that no one will believe, how do I express myself

Just went through this album . Holy shit! This is amazing work! Love how great the sound is . . kudos to mastering engineer. Favorite song is Track 7 (For a voice like thunder) . . just the feel of it is amazing! Great job you guys! Looking forward to more music!! :D

F@%king great album. Nice to see not all old bands sold out.

Incredible album! Respect from Bulgaria!

Rotting Christ are a metal band that has taken me by surprise, it's good to hear a metal band that is experimental and unique so many metal bands today all the sound the same, wish there were more bands like this and Dimmu Borgir who keep pushing the envelope and keep things fresh. You can't underestimate the importance of originality and musical progression that's what separates the great from the average and that goes for all genres.

Five years later. Still fresh, ironically.

I am .. hardcore rockin' this house... thank you !

so this album i come back to every night for sure its my ritual before sleep have met sakis an all of the band finaly on 7th nov in london at the underworld camden ...but my ritual were disrupted thursday evening ...a nightmare wednesday evening awakend me to collapsing lovely ..ended up in hospital but my mission to Get Rotting Christ thr recognition they deserve goes on ...still spreading the sound of rituals an tracks from all thier albums on my radio shows im never giving up 😈😈😈😈hails from Metal MaMa plymouth Uk

My favorite Rotting Christ album is a toss-up between Rituals and Sleep of the Angels. So different from each other, yet same in terms of brilliance!

Amazing

Rotting Christ..is special too me because as some one on the fiery Path...there music invokes something deep in me

What are you talking about... This is HEAVY AF! What a great album! Watched them live in 2014 in Bangalore, India and they changed the entire atmosphere with their set. It was like waking up from a trance at the end of it. Absolutely brilliant.

Simply put.. my favorite album. I can see Sakis is a very spiritual person.

Best album yet. Ze Nigmar may easily be the best song in life for me. Simple and devastating.

After 5 years i stil consider this as my favorite album of all time this is just so good

By far their best album. Absolute masterpiece from start to finish.
