Rotting Christ - 'Primal Ressurection' (official animation video)

Primal ressurection, the silent dimension
The voice of confession, pray for redemption
Principal affection, ancient wisdom
Shouting with pation, Hails! we are nature

CHORUS I
Primal ressurection-Spiritual convection
Primal ressurection-The ancient wisdom

Primal is the breath the voice, the chooser and the choice
The power of wisdom, Hails! To our freedom
Primal shows the path the way,brighten my path my day
The whispers sounds loud and say, you can not escape your fate

CHORUS II
Primal ressurection-Eternal salvation
Primal ressurection-Diving damnation

Primal ressurection,primal temptation
my salvation,my destination

CHORUS I

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.

Learn as if you will live forever, live like you will die tomorrow beacause nature is not a place to visit. It is home!

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophy, our brain, our own heart is our temple.

(Dalai Lama)

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.»

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'.»
