While we're at it, maybe we should consider deletion of the album pages of Jessica Simpson, Keith Urban and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Those articles have the same album cover fair-use explanation (or lack thereof), so why not? Oh, I know, they're not a band called Rotting Christ.
If this page is going to be taken apart (basically vandalized - one editor even removed a good wikilink), I say it should be deleted ... a shame people can't separate their prejudices with impartial duties. -- Danteferno 12:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, under the biography section, is it just me or is the first line, stating they started as raw black metal, contradicting the very next paragraph which states that they started as grindcore on their first demos?— arf! 00:26, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

No one seems to use this talk page, but anyways, I have added to the band's genres the label of melodic black metal, as I believe that is what they are more than anything else. They have experimented with gothic metal, unfortunately, but pretty much, other than their grindcore demos, they have exhibited melodic black metal tendencies since they began and have always had that as a big part of their sound. Even almost all the albums here on wikipedia state they are melodic black metal. Navnløs 23:34, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I've made many edits to the Rotting Christ page and they've all turned out fine but I was recently reverted (reasonably, so ,I suppose) because of this added paragraph in the Publicity section about the evolution of their music.
More recently they have gone back to their earlier more extreme style, while still utilizing some elements from their mid era albums. The use of clean vocals are almost totally absent in their last albums as is the use of doom, gothic and industrial elements. They have been compared to oriental metal bands with their latest release, Theogonia, even going so far as to use some of the "epic" sound usually associated with viking metal bands. Their technicality can additionally be heard to have matured.
Now, I may understand why I was reverted, and I may try to find sources, but I happen to think what I said is pretty obvious to anyone who has listened to all of Rotting Christ's music and their new album Theogonia. They no longer use gothic metal, doom metal, or any of that crap (definitely no industrial sound). It is also true that many have started calling them oriental metal with the latest release. Someone already added them to the oriental metal page a while back (not me). They certainly are more technical on the newest album and display some viking metal characteristics (hence the oriental metal tag) with a more "epic" sound. I mean, the whole album is based on Greek mythology, with its gods and whatnot, differing from their previous works. What are your thoughts on this, fellow wikipedians? Something about their new music shift definitely needs to be said because right now the article says this:
Despite the name, the band's traditional lyrical themes involving evil and occultism has evolved more recently into a more "mystic" path [11], and they have modified their musical direction on each album, utilizing elements such as clean melodic baritone vocals, doom, gothic metal and industrial music traits, and male/female Benedictine chants.
Which is no longer true at all with their last two albums. Something needs to be said about their new shift. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 21:42, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
More recently they have gone back to their earlier more extreme style, while still utilizing some elements from their mid era albums. The use of clean vocals are almost totally absent in their last albums as is the use of doom, gothic and industrial elements.
Because you shold at least be able to agree with that. It's not a matter of opinion. On their last two albums they do not use any doom, gothic, or industrial elements from their mid era. Also, the newer albums, while not as hgeavy as their earliest albums, do make a return to their more extreme melodic black metal material. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh man...I don't even know what to say to you. Can we at least say they've gone back to a more melodic black metal approach on their last albums? I mean, even you can't argue that. Their last few albums were nothing like their mid era "dark metal" material (POV: which was horrible) where they got all slow and almost gothic metal with some minor black metal stuff in their material.

You are still not getting what I'm saying. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
On my crusade against misspellings I have now contacted the band to figure out what exactly the third character in the song title "ΧΞΣ" / "χξϛ'" is. The capital Sigma used e.g. on the t-shirt on the photograph in this article would carry the numerical value 200, making the entire number "six hundred and sixtytwohundred". It is fairly obvious that someone there has not understood the difference between a Sigma and a Stigma. I will update when I find out more. Iago 212 09:46, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
