Rotting Christ - 'La Lettera del Diavolo' (ft. Androniki Skoula)

Sono il dio / Sono il salvadore /
Sono il pecato / Sono il sangue

I am the voice,the voice of God
I am the way, i am the truth
Listen my creature, listen my Son
The death is certain, in this dying world
I am creation, you named me God
You gave me voice, you made me strong
Oh you mortals, listen my word
This system failed, there is no world

Sono il sacrificio / Sono il tuo corpo/Sono la tentazione
Sono la tua carne e sangue

You sing you pray, i set you free
You nailed me on the cross, I saved your sins
You ask salvation, license to kill
Take me to church, i set you free
I created angels, as gift and shield
Whsiper my name, whisper your sin
Ooh you mortals, listen my preach
This system failed, down on your knees

CHORUS I
I am the voice,the voice of God
I am the way, i am the truth
Listen my creature, listen my Son
The death is certain, in this dying world
I am creation, you named me God
You gave me voice, you made me strong
Oh you mortals, listen my word
This system failed, there is no world

Sono il dio / Sono il salvadore /
Sono il sacrificio / Sono il tuo corpo-Sono il tuo corpo

WHISPERING
I am the voice,the voice of God
I am the way ,i am the truth
Listen my creature,listen my Son
The death is certain,In this dying world
I am creation,You named me God
You gave me a voice,You made me strong
Ooh you mortals-Listen my word
This system failed-There is no world

CHORUS II
You sing you pray, i set you free
You nailed me on the cross, I saved your sins
You ask salvation, license to kill
Take me to church, i set you free
I created angels, as gift and shield
Whsiper my name, whisper your sin
Ooh you mortals, listen my preach
This system failed, down on your knees

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία πενταετία ουσιαστικά για τους Rotting Christ. Πρόκειται για το 14ο full length album των Ελλήνων metallers, φέρει τον τίτλο "Pro Xristoy" και κυκλοφορεί ήδη μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Season of Mist σε cd, βινύλιο και ψηφιακή μορφή.

Η θεματολογία του δίσκου σύμφωνα με την μπάντα «This album was inspired by the might of ancient pagan wisdom. It’s a tribute to those who resisted the coming of Christianity, which destroyed all the values, traditions and knowledge of the ancient world.»

Παρακουλούμε το μουσικό βίντεο του τραγουδιού "La Lettera del Diavolo" για το οποίο η μπάντα μας λέει: «'La lettera del diavolo' is the 5th song of band's latest album 'Pro Xristou', a song based in a real story about a coded letter written by a 17th-century Italian nun who claimed it had been dictated to her by the Devil.»

Δελτίο τύπου: «For over three decades, Tolis brothers Sakis and Themis have carved a blackened path through the metal world.

Architects of the Hellenic black metal, Rotting Christ have been blending histrionic atmospheres, mesmerizing choirs, and neo-classical arrangements for 35 years.

Now, the Greek metal legends present their 14th studio album: ‘Pro Xristou’.

Translating to “Before Christ” in Greek, this album is a fervent tribute to the last Pagan kings who stood resilient against the Christian tide, safeguarding ancient values and knowledge.

Dive deep into the legacies of figures like Flavius Claudius Julianus and Nordic mythological kings through tracks such as "The Apostate" and "Ygdrassil".

‘Pro Xristou’ encapsulates the essence of Rotting Christ's signature style - a melodic symphony with moments of unyielding harshness.

Artwork by Thomas Cole (1801-1848), the cover art is 'Destruction', which is part of the painting series 'The Course of Empire'.»
