Sakis Tollis’ music matures as he grows older. Power, melody, feeling, now meet emotion in a mixture of (not-just-black) metal genre.

Many people see nostalgia, a retrospective culmination of Rotting Christ’s past but I beg to differ; I think we are witnessing a future version of himself, the music that is to come… as a Salvation? Not sure but it will be with Passion(!) to take us to the stars (Ad Astra).

As for a favorite track? hahahaha… I just picked one randomly… All are masterpieces...

An impressive work of progressive metal, seems initially to be taken out of the best moments of the genre’s behemoths (Fates Warning, Dream Theater). However, with enough distinction and personality, featuring Greek folk elements here and there, the musicianship mastery of the band members make tracks like Nemmortal, Norchestrion and Circadian, bright jewels for the genre and for metal in general. A must have album!!!

As if the original was not sky-high, this one goes even further. Superb compositions, beautiful emotions, excellent performance. This recording makes the original soundrack... classic ;)

Majestic, bombastic, supreme barbaric epic metal. Runeshard gloriously fill the void Bal-Sagoth left behind. These symphonic, magic-illuminated tracks are the best example of a bright future in the making.
The clarion is heard to awaken the Silver-clad Legions at the Altar of the Dreaming Spire for the Coronation of the new Barbarian Kings...
