Reissue of "A Dead Poem", the fourth album by the Greek Black Metal legends Rotting Christ, originally released in 1997. With a by-now finely honed craft of darkly atmospheric composition and an aura of anthemic melancholy combined with a few more gothic-styled elements throughout, "A Dead Poem" achieved a certain accessibility and acceptance within a broader demographic, leading to a further ascension through the ranks of metal''s greats for Rotting Christ.
