ROTTING CHRIST A Dead Poem CD (1997)
Greece, 1997. Black metal is getting weird, and Rotting Christ are leading the charge somewhere the corpse-paint crowd wasn't ready to follow.
A Dead Poem is the record where Rotting Christ leaned into their gothic and atmospheric instincts without apology, layering clean vocals, synth-driven melodies, and an almost cinematic darkness over their black metal foundation. It's moody, unconventional, and completely its own thing, the kind of album that aged into cult status because most people took too long to understand it. If you slept on Sakis Tolis during his prime, here's your correction.
