The viciously dark вЂњThe sign of evil existenceвЂќ is crushing, the misty melodies from В«Transform All Sufferings into PlaguesВ» are gripping and by the time вЂњExiled ArchangelsвЂќ or вЂњFourth Night Of The RevelationвЂќ hit the stereo everyone ought to be convinced that Rotting Christ are the riff-masters of the domain. Rotting Christ discography and songs: Music profile for Rotting Christ, formed 1987. ThatвЂ™s why вЂњThy Mighty ContractвЂќ is probably one of the easiest black metal albums for a non-black metal listener to get. There are heavy melodic riffs everywhere and the band doesnвЂ™t hesitate to use lead guitars (not solos, usually melodies). On September 22nd, 2005, the band performed at Club 666 / Klubben in Stockholm, Sweden, as part of the Blitzkrieg III touring package with Vader.

Eight albums into their long career they are still going strong and show no signs of slowing down. If there is one album this record relates to (from the Nordic black metal scene) that would only be вЂњDe mysteriis dom SathanasвЂќ and again, weвЂ™re not talking about close relatives here. Rotting Christ were one of the first Greek black metal bands, having formed already in 1987. Rotting Christ distance themselves from the whole Nordic sound in that their black metal is not about the ambience, the frost, or the solitude. After recording a handful of demos and releasing 1991s Passage to Arcturo EP in their native Greece, Rotting Christ launched their international career with a promising first long-player in 1993s Thy Mighty Contract. In fact in this album there is actual musicianship. This way the listener is allowed to enjoy Rotting ChristвЂ™s main attraction riffs and melodies. The guitar sound is thick as opposed to the thin sound of most black metal bands and the production is raw, but not chaotic. Recording information: Recorded and mixed at Molon Lave Studio in Athens, Greece during November / December 1992. This counterfeit release retains the reissue artwork. In вЂњThy Mighty ContractвЂќ the breakneck speed that characterized most black metal albums at the time is just a guest who doesnвЂ™t visit too often. Bootleg version released through Malaysian label Valentine Sound Productions came with huge typo on the cover Thy Might Contract. вЂњThy Mighty ContractвЂќ is a (lost) black metal classic exactly because it displayed Rotting ChristвЂ™s uniqueness.

While being one of the first black metal bands to emerge from the so called second wave of black metal, these notoriously named Greek pioneers developed their own style and created a sound that quickly became trademark for most Greek black metal bands (Necromantia, Varathron etc.).
