Rotting Christ "A Dead Poem" 12"

Rotting Christ 'A Dead Poem' 12" on black vinyl. Officially licensed Rotting Christ merchandise.

‘A Dead Poem’ – the band’s fourth full-length studio album – was originally released in 1997 & was the follow-up to ‘Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers’ which, with a more melodic & dynamic scope to the compositions, saw Rotting Christ achieve acclaim beyond the black metal spectrum. This direction was further developed on ‘A Dead Poem’, for what was to become the band’s most successful album to date. With a by-now finely honed craft of darkly atmospheric composition & an aura of anthemic melancholy combined with a few more gothic-styled elements throughout, ‘A Dead Poem’ achieved a certain accessibility & acceptance within a broader demographic, leading to a further ascension through the ranks of metal’s greats for Rotting Christ.
