Background information über 'The Apocryphal Spells'

Greek extreme metal legends Rotting Christ deliver a haunting collection of reimagined classics and rare gems with "The Apocryphal Spells". This compilation showcases the band's evolution across decades, featuring remastered versions of beloved tracks like "Pir Threontai" and "Demonon Vrosis" alongside newer compositions that demonstrate their continued mastery of atmospheric black metal. The first disc weaves together mystical anthems such as "I Am The Moonchild" and the epic "Holy Mountain", creating a journey through the band's signature blend of Orthodox chants, Mediterranean melodies, and crushing metal riffs.

The second disc ventures into even more diverse territory, offering covers of metal classics including Kreator's "Tormentor" and Black Sabbath's self-titled masterpiece, while tracks like "Spiritus Sancti" and "Visions Of The Dead Lovers" showcase the band's ability to craft deeply atmospheric pieces. Sakis Tolis and his crew prove once again why they remain one of the most influential bands in the extreme metal scene, balancing raw aggression with sophisticated songwriting that draws from ancient Greek mysticism and modern metal sensibilities.

For fans of: Bathory, Emperor, Behemoth, and Primordial
