Legendary Greek entity ROTTING CHRIST are a true certainty in terms of delivering abstract, yet fundamental album releases ever since their early foundation in 1989. Experimenting and stylistically morphing throughout different, always obscure layers of elements from varied styles of heavier music has truly driven ROTTING CHRIST to achieve a very distinct sound, giving the band a very special position within the black metal scene-realms. Having toured all over the globe with bands such as Immortal, Blasphemy, Samael, Moonspell, Deicide, Behemoth, Theatre Of Tragedy, Gorefest, Tristania, Old Man's Child,Vader, Cradle Of Filth or Tiamat , being on the roster of the first ever second generation Black Metal tour back in 1993 and having visited rather unusual countries like Colombia, Brazil, Peru,Malta,Russia,Moldova, Mexico or Turkey in the turn of the years ROTTING CHRIST have established themselves as leading force within the black metal scene. This fact was easily stressed by 2004's release of a Brazilian tribute album entitled "An Evil Existence For Rotting Christ", where underground acts pay homage to one of their main influences.

THEOGONIA the band's 10th full length album after several 7" and EP releases, presents ROTTING CHRIST in the shape of a refined four-piece line-up featuring founding member Sakis (guitars / vocals), his brother Themis on drums, Andreas on bass and the brand new guitarist George. Despite of the structural changes, ROTTING CHRIST's stylistic approach hasn't drastically changed: The 10 new tracks rather see the band going back to their darker, more savage and faster musical roots and attitude, nevertheless adapting an ancient greek as well as an ethnic presentation by the inclusion of a large choir singing in ancient greek language throughout the album's material as well as the use of bizarre oriental samples and walls of keyboards.The bands' goal on never releasing an album that sound exactly with any of their previous has been achieved with that album too and the band can proudly announce that musically another step forward have been achieved.

Lyrically THEOGONIA is based on the primitive greek myth about creation of world (cosmogonia) a myth that come to reality nowadays waking up well hidden dark thoughts that everyone have inside hid and have never exploring

THEOGONIA was recorded at SCA Studios in Greece with bandleader Sakis on production and mixing and mastering duties.This is the first time that the band is taking care of the whole production including mixing and mastering and this is a proof of the bands' ideology "do it yourself".

After 10 years of productive cooperation, Rotting Christ and Century Media have parted ways. The time has come for the band to change labels and to be represented by the French label, SEASON OF MIST.

The new album will be released early January and will be followed up as usually the band do from a long tour including more than 120 shows all over the globe. Look out for ROTTING CHRIST touring all over the world into 2007 to promote and spread the musical message on THEOGONIA
