ROTTING CHRIST - Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers CD

It's not only atmospheric, it's also one of the biggest highlights in Southern European black metal. But what makes Rotting Christ's Triarchy of the Lost Lovers stand out compared to albums from the likes of Moonspell and Varathron is the band's knack for balancing the melodic and heavy parts on the album. Triarchy of the Lost Lovers is in my opinion, Rotting Christ's magnum opus as it's the perfect definition of the band's signature sound. It may not be as energetic as the black metal albums coming from the Nordic countries at the time, but it still makes up for it with crushing riffs that would make the devil cry. And when you know that devil's never cry, you know this is a masterpiece.
