ROTTING CHRIST - AEALO (2010)

genre : melodic black
similar bands : Rotting Christ
origin : Greece
strong spot : originality, songwriting, samples
weak spot : no obvious weak spot

The greek black metal armada has returned presenting an album of unique beauty and atmosphere. Sakis has composed some of his best pieces so far ( this guy's inspiration seems to run like an endless river) and, once again, Rotting Christ manage to craft an excellent album that takes the listener to unearthly landscapes from the dark ancient Greek history. The folk elements that were introduced in their previous effort are even more impressive now and the black metal core of the music is more solid than ever. The whole result can be simply described with one word that summarizes everything: Hades.
