Greek metal masters ROTTING CHRIST are streaming a new video for “Ἄπαγε Σατανά” (“Apage Satana”), a track taken from their latest acclaimed full-length, ‘Rituals’. The video, directed by Jon Simvonis (Magnum Production Studios, previously seen in ROTTING CHRIST’s “Χ Ξ Σ” (“666”) video), is streaming now at No Clean Singing.

Regarding the video, ROTTING CHRIST mastermind Sakis Tolis comments:

“Dear friends, following a string of lyric videos specifically designed to illustrate tracks taken from ‘Rituals’, we are now presenting you the first official clip for our latest album. We chose to work again with the amazing Jon Simvonis, who already directed our video for the song ‘Χ Ξ Σ’ (‘666’). The concept for this new video is based on the ritual of exorcism and connected to the idea of a soul’s transition to the other side. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the journey to the other bank of the river with ‘Apage Satana’!”

“Apage Satana” comes off the band’s new album, ‘Rituals’. The band, regarded as “one of the best guitar-riff-writing bands out there to date” (No Clean Singing), is streaming ‘Rituals’ in full here .. The band’s twelfth studio album, ‘Rituals’ is regarded as “singular and unique a contribution to the development of metal as anything on the table.” (Kevin Stewart Panko, Metal Injection) and is available across multiple formats at the Season of Mist E-Shop. ROTTING CHRIST previously landed the Billboard Heatseekers Chart at #14 for the release ‘Rituals’.

Greek metal masters ROTTING CHRIST have landed the Billboard Heatseekers Chart this week, at #14 for the release of their new album, ‘Rituals’.

The band, hailed as “one of the best guitar-riff-writing bands out there to date” (No Clean Singing), is streaming ‘Rituals’ in full here .. The band’s twelfth studio album, ‘Rituals’ is regarded as “singular and unique a contribution to the development of metal as anything on the table.” (Kevin Stewart Panko, Metal Injection) and is available across multiple formats at the Season of Mist E-Shop.

For almost 30 years, ROTTING CHRIST have blazed a trail for the black metal genre to follow. From their primitive early material through to 2012’s epic ‘Kata Ton Daimona Eaytoy’, their pioneering spirit has been a flame of inspiration in an increasingly reductive genre. Now the renowned band return with new album ‘Rituals’, a diverse collection of new songs influenced by rites and myths from all around the globe. ‘Rituals’ highlights their unique power and magic, and is the darkest and most personal-sounding ROTTING CHRIST album to date. As ‘Rituals’ illustrates, there is a reason that ROTTING CHRIST are an international heavy metal institution.
