Rotting Christ - Non Serviam

THE ESSENTIAL CULT SECOND STUDIO ALBUM FROM 1994 COURTESY OF THE GREEK BLACK METAL LEGENDS

Greek black metal legends Rotting Christ formed in 1988, with their early demo recordings containing strong grindcore elements as the band quickly evolved their style into something altogether darker. Spearheaded by brothers Sakis & Themis Tolis, Rotting Christ have remained one of the strongest and most respected forces in the black metal scene since their debut release 'Passage of Arcturo'. Their legacy towards greatness was cemented even further by 'Non Serviam', the follow-up album to 'Thy Mighty Contract', helping to firmly establish the Greek scene as being among the most essential black metal movements of the early 90's.

'Non Serviam' (which in Latin means, I Will Not Serve) was Rotting Christ's second full-length album originally released in 1994. It saw the band progress further with their dark occult atmospherics & highly distinguishable style, while retaining their core black metal brutality. With a clear distinction between their sound and what was appearing in Scandinavia at the time, Rotting Christ were highly influential & revered for forging their own sound while retaining the rawness of the old-school masters such as Celtic Frost and Venom.
