Info:

Formada por los hermanos Sakis y Themis Tolis, en sus inicios el grupo tocaba una cruda mezcla de death metal con elementos de grindcore. Un año más tarde la banda decide volcar su estilo al Black/Death metal en la vena de Bathory y Venom.

En esos primeros años los miembros de la banda utilizaban nombre tales como Necromayhem (Sakis), Necrosauron (Themis) y Mutilator (el bajista original Jim). Luego de cambiar de estilo la banda graba varios demos y discos de corta duración, presentándose a la vez pocas veces en vivo, pero la situación se revertiría con el tiempo. Siendo respetados por gente de la escena black metal, como los polémicos Euronymous o Varg Vikernes, Rotting Christ incluyó atmósferas oscuras y teclados desde sus primeros lanzamientos.

El año 1996 marca la partida del bajista Jim "Mutilator", a partir de esa fecha la banda atraviesa un periodo en el que entran y salen miembros de la banda, permaneciendo como base estable y compositiva los hermanos Tolis y el bajista Andreas.

El presente los encuentra como una de las bandas de rock más populares de Grecia, a la vez el disco Sanctus Diabolos marca en cierta manera un regreso parcial a sus raíces, luego de varios lanzamientos en que el grupo incluyó muchos pasajes de Gothic Metal o experimentales.

Pioneros y creadores del subgenero derivado del Death Metal, Abyssic Death Metal.
