This man is not messing around. Such an example of appreciating your time, deliberately learning the right skills to live a purposeful life.

[@LadyAxe13]

Not only a super talented musician, but one of the most down-to-earth people I have ever met! He is the boss of an iconic band and he still asks about my unknown stupid little band. That is how modest he is! I'll support anything they release just because Rotting Christ is true to itself and doesn't bow to trends and pressure from other genres.

[@BelgianJasper]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@MetalPhantomX]

Not only is Sakis a friken amazing human, but the art he puts out is phenomenal! Everything he touches turns to gold. I am with him and Rotting christ for the long run

[@BelgianJasper]

Thanks for sharing that! What's your favorite song on the new album?

[@MetalPhantomX]

@@BelgianJasper such a hard choicr... but if I had to pick... La Lettera Del Diavolo. What about you?

[@MetalPhantomX]

But honestly, I can't pick. Front to back, the whole album is amazing

[@BelgianJasper]

@@MetalPhantomX Like Father Like Son definitely speaks to me 🤔

[@MetalPhantomX]

@@BelgianJasper in what way?

[@MetalPhantomX]

I want Sakis to know that his music brings me to happy tears! I cant express how much I adore this band!

[@BelgianJasper]

👊👊👊

[@MetalPhantomX]

@@BelgianJasper right on!

The man had time to respond to my dorky fan boy emails years ago. A fan for life🇨🇦🤘 Thanks for sharing!

[@BelgianJasper]

Thanks for sharing that! What's your favorite song on the new album?

[@x.rickenbacker9393]

@@BelgianJasper pretty world, pretty dies! I have a RC driving playlist this one made it. Typos😁

[@MetalPhantomX]

How did you manage that? I wanna send Sakis a fan letter!

[@MetalPhantomX]

@x.rickenbacker9393 that's also one of my favorites

[@x.rickenbacker9393]

@@MetalPhantomX In 2014 there was going to be a show here that never materialized. I think just contacted their message board but got a couple of direct responses. I still have them sent Thursday April 24 2014. ✌️

[@DH-hl5tc]

New album is fantastic, probably their most melodic outing.

[@BelgianJasper]

What songs do you hope they play live?

[@DH-hl5tc]

@@BelgianJasper pix lax dax, yggdrasil and like father like son. What bout you?

[@BelgianJasper]

@@DH-hl5tc for me Like Father Like Son stands out most 👊

[@MetalPhantomX]

Totally agreed! It's a masterpiece

[@MetalPhantomX]

@@DH-hl5tc all bangers 🔥

[@MetalPhantomX]

I am obsessed with everything he has ever put out or has been featured on! Everything from his solo work to rotting christ as well as his feature on insomnium's song "White Christ" and many more that I have probably missed

[@BelgianJasper]

That White Christ song (and the entire effing Insomnium album) is sooo good 🤘 when did you discover Sakis btw?

[@MetalPhantomX]

@BelgianJasper I first found him on White Christ tbh. Wbu? And yes, I agree that the whole Insomnium album is amazing

[@BelgianJasper]

@@MetalPhantomX I was lucky enough to be introduced to Rotting Christ back in the 90s 🤘😉

[@MetalPhantomX]

@@BelgianJasper introduced how?

[@BelgianJasper]

@@MetalPhantomX oh just recommend by older metalheads at the time, was really getting into extreme Metal in the late 90s, I don't remember the exact song or moment tho 🤷‍♂️
