Greek black metal legends Rotting Christ formed in 1988, with their early demo recordings containing strong grindcore elements as the band quickly evolved their style into something altogether darker. Spearheaded by brothers Sakis & Themis Tolis, Rotting Christ have remained one of the strongest and most respected forces in the Black Metal scene since their debut release Passage of Arcturo. Their legacy towards greatness was cemented even further by the genre classic follow-up ‘hy Mighty Contract, helping to firmly establish the Greek scene as being among the most essential Black Metal movements of the early 1990s. 

 

‘Abyssic Black Metal’ compiles the cult early works of the band, primarily featuring the classic ‘Satanas Tedeum’ demo from 1989, which paved the way for Rotting Christ’s melodic and atmospheric style of black metal.
