Exactly 5 years ago today is the first time I heard Rotting Christ, and it was this song. I was a fresh heretic at the time (ex Muslim) when Spotify randomly threw this at me, so you can imagine how the dark, atmospheric intro with that quote made me feel.. Good times

@@elijahgilson4374 Lyrically and sonically it's actually a really fitting song to play DS to. And with a Demon Souls remake on the way, even more reason to go through the games again.

Try Septicflesh, another Greek band.

[@soldmysoultomanillaroad1555]

I guess you're late to the party cause Greece produces great metal since early 90s. From the legendary Rotting Christ, Septic Flesh, Nightfall, Necromantia, Varathron, Thou Art Lord and the endless Hellenic black metal pantheon, to the innovators Spectral Lore, Thy Darkened Shade, Acherontas, Hail Spirit Noir and the death metal masters Dead Congregation, Sickening Horror, Nightrage, Embrace of Thorns. Not to mention the classic heavy pioneers Firewind, Battleroar, Wishdoom and Wrathblade. That's just a hint..

[@switchboardrevelry4275]

Fire, pyre, desire, empire, liar. Must be a new RC song.

[@innosanto]

switchboardrevelry the lyrics are more about the excerpts from the heretics on whom and whose ideas the album focuses. The other lyrics are just fillings, this is what I understand. The album is a soundtrack to the heretics and their ideas. The previous album was a soundtrack to excerpts related to and a soundtrack of rituals. I think these albums are targeted on a purpose. Sakis tried to show-display the excerpts and the heretics. Not take attention away from the excerpts and them. This is a hypothesis, perhaps this is the case. Pyre/fire/liar is where heretics were burned literally or not literally. Again hypothesis.

[@eliasgr1773]

@@innosanto yes, it seems that there are lot of fillings indeed. But in these fillings there are lyrics that do have a meaning that serve to the consept. For example "Burn the witch in pyre" shows how people with different opinions and beliefs were treated by the others. I believe that that's the meaning of this album. The "Heretics" are people judged by the church for having a different view and shared that. Also in the booklet you can find a drawing of a crusader doing his cross after burning a city. This has the same purpose as these lyrics.

[@bobdole6672]

Sakis seems to like fire.

[@Israelpwn]

@@innosanto That seems to make a lot of sense!! I wish I knew something about these heretics, maybe then the lyrics would make more sense. Now I'm really curious about who Voice of the Universe is based on.
