Rotting Christ released their first ever live album earlier this Summer, and "Lucifer Over Athens" did not disappoint! As you can hear in the full stream below, it captures their live intensity perfectly on record, and has me even more excited for their return to the States with Mayhem and Watain later this year!

What about their new studio album you ask? Rotting Christ has just revealed that they will be releasing "Rituals" on February 12th to the world! What can we expect? Sakis Tolis said this, "After more than a year and a half of deep soul searching, and 4 grueling months in the studio, I can proudly announce that we have finished recording the new Rotting Christ album. It's eleven new songs, with eleven different and unique stories influenced by rituals and myths from all around the globe. All of these new creations are mystical journeys into hidden knowledge under the name Rituals that will release on the 12th of February, 2016. Rituals is the darkest and most personal-sounding Rotting Christ album that we've ever made, and you'll be able to hear it very shortly. Stay tuned brothers & sisters!"

HELL FUCKING YES! Rotting Christ is one of the most consistently powerful bands on the planet, and it sounds like "Rituals" is going to be one hell of a listen for our ears! Start getting excited now!
