Un show cargado de energía con una intensidad que se verificó tema tras tema y en el carisma magnético del buen Sakis. BORKNAGAR y Seth también estuvieron a la altura!!!

Rotting Christ: Pretty good show from what I could see, other than the fact some taller dude came and stood right in front of me in the middle of the first song so my view of half Rotting Christ's set consisted of his fat neck until he went into the circle pit. Someone he was with kept pushing past me to try talk to him or give him things which I found off-putting and rude.
I missed Seth, but Borknagor started off well, although the crowd seemed to be more interested in chatting to each other than listening to / watching the music. The atmosphere where I was standing was a bit meh so I moved.
Sound for both of the bands was spot on.
Crowd wise, wasn't impressed. It was a bit flat. Too much chat to themselves (the hum of everyone chatting was very loud) even while the bands were playing. Far too many people decided to stand Infront of me, it's a bit rude when you see someone shorter then you just go stand Infront of them blocking their view completely then I'm the one having to either move, try see past you or hope you move. Especially as it had taken me 12hrs of travel to get there.
I wish I had booked another show some place else but due to time constraints this was the only show I could get to.
I'd happily see Borknagor & Rotting Christ again, in Sevilla for another show, probably not, due to the crowd.

About Rotting Christ
n the dimly lit catacombs of extreme metal, one name stands as a monolith: ROTTING CHRIST. Sakis Tholis and his brother Themis started this band together back in 1987. In the three decades since, these Greek titans have left their blackened imprint all over the metal world. They’ve released 13 studio albums and played more than 1,300 concerts around the globe. Underneath all this hard work, Rotting Christ have but one vision – an urge to not only push the boundaries of extreme metal, but to keep reinventing themselves along the way.
Rotting Christ’s evolution has unfolded across several distinct chapters. After starting out closer to the barely controlled chaos of grindcore, they went on to establish the iconic sound of Hellenic black metal. Their albums often embrace refined gothic soundscapes, only to plunge back into the depths of blasphemous fervour. Each chapter marked another, further exploration, and an unwavering commitment to push boundaries.
But the real turning point came in 2007, when Rotting Christ signed a pact with Season of Mist. They unleashed a series of albums for the French label that defied any and all expectations. From the piercing Theogonia and the symphonic grandeur of Aelo to the ritualistic intensity of Κατά Τον Δαίμονα Εαυτού, the cinematic experiences created by Rotting Christ became a spectacle of bombastic atmospheres, mesmerizing choirs, and neo-classical arrangements. The unexpected is their modus operandi, with the use of various languages (Latin, Arabic, Greek, English) as well as the extensive use of famous poetry woven into their music, like Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Raven’ on The Heretics.
In 2019, Rotting Christ’s epic journey continued with The Apocryphal Spell compilation, which offers fans an intimate glimpse into unreleased and rare material. This allowed them to gather strength, preparing for the release of their next, highly anticipated, 14th full-length studio album: Pro Xristou.
Pro Xristou (‘Before Christ’ in Greek), serves as a fervent tribute to the last Pagan kings who resisted the onslaught of Christianity, guarding their ancient values and knowledge. In this thematic odyssey, intricately woven through tracks such as ‘The Apostate’ and ‘Ygdrassil’, Rotting Christ delves into the legacies of historical figures such as Flavius Claudius Julianus and Nordic mythological kings, embodying the might of Pagan wisdom in the face of Christian adversity. The album encapsulates the essence of Rotting Christ’s signature style – melodic, yet harsh at times – reinventing themselves yet again, while remaining rooted in their 35-year legacy.
