About

Rotting Christ is a Greek extreme metal band from Athens, founded in 1987 by brothers Sakis and Themis Tolis. They are one of the defining acts of Hellenic black metal - starting out in grindcore before forging a signature sound that blends atmospheric, gothic and symphonic elements with black metal. Over 14 studio albums they have woven together multiple languages, ancient mythology and literary poetry into a body of work that keeps evolving without losing its dark core.
