ROTTING CHRIST "Kata Ton Daimona Eaytoy" CD

"KATA TON DAIMONA EAYTOY" means "Do What Thou Wilt" and according to the infamous English occultist Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) this "shall be the whole of the law" of the coming Æon of Horus.

Mastermind Sakis Tolis creates mystical atmospheres by delving deep into ancient secrets and myths from the Sumerians, Incas, Persians and other cultures. ROTTING CHRIST skillfully vary their highly individual sound with female vocals, piano, bagpipes, horns and by other means. The excellent songwriting of "KATA TON DAIMONA EAYTOY" is extremely confident and displays a maturity and perfection born out of long years of composing and experience. This band knows exactly what it is doing.
ROTTING CHRIST return to mankind’s eldest verse epic with the Sumerian "Gilgamesh". They visit the Incas by quoting from the sacred hymns of emperor Pachacutec in "P'unchaw kachun - Tuta kachun". A tale is spun about the undead Russian water spirit "Русалка", which lures men and children into a wet grave. The voice of ancient Persia speaks through "Ahura Mazdā-Aŋra Mainiuu", while "Cine iubeşte şi lasă" offers the Greeks' interpretation of a Romanian folk classic. The latter song is colourfully realised with the stunning vocals of Suzana Vougioukli and Eleni Vougioukli on piano demonstrating the wide range and diversity that make this album so special.
