For almost 30 years, Rotting Christ has 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. In 2016 the renowned band returned with Rituals, a diverse collection of 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 good reason why Rotting Christ is regarded as an international heavy metal institution. Gatefold colored vinyl 2LP cut at 45rpm. Includes bonus track "Lok'tar Ogar."
