ROTTING CHRIST
Fifth full-length album by the cult Greek Gothic/Black Metal band.
Like previous releases, "A Dead Poem" and "Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers", the band refined their direction to a slower style with more emphasis on atmosphere and melodicism than brutality. Despite mixed critical consensus of the album, it was supported during the band's first-ever tour in the United States.
Resuming the path started on "Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers", Rotting Christ show just a mild sort of improvement and honing of a sound with "Sleep Of The Angels". Rotting Christ focuses again on symphonics and a modern romantic Doom sound reminiscient of Alastis, current Samael and even a hint of Rammstein. There are moments where vocalist/guitarist Sakis sounds similar to Moonspell's vocalist in "Wolfheart" era. The simple riffing is very effective within the structure of the style, a lot of large sounding chords and subtle picking. Moreover, this approach mixed with the subtle but alluring lush keyboards is very successful in translating a mood and feel.
"Sleep Of The Angels" on a whole is a very nicely sequenced and unified package. A good step up from "A Dead Poem" and recommended to fans of Atmospheric Metal!!
