today's pick comes to us from Greece's Rotting Christ, who have spent the past thirty years basically defining Greece's black metal sound. this particular song is sung in greek and does a good job of building an ominous heavy aura to match its apocalyptic themes. in particular, it's an interesting sonic counterpoint to iron maiden's high-flying "number of the beast".
also dave mustaine refuses to play with rotting christ, which is about as high an honor as you can get, really.
