When I think Rotting Christ, I usually think strangely ritualistic metal that sounds like I've stumbled upon some incantation midway through in a forest. Not Edgar Allen Poe, yet here we are. The band employs pieces of Poe's poem The Raven in a song of the same name and it works pretty well. I'm also a little surprise Rotting Christ beat Carach Angren to doing this.
Rotting Christ will release their new record The Heretics on February 15.
