Yggdrasil

In the beginning of the seventies, the Austrian band Eela Craig performed pure progressive rock what their self-titled debut skillfully demonstrates. The five follow-up albums saw a change into a different direction and became a bit shallow. The first two bonus tracks are excerpts from "Dimensionen zwischen Pop und Klassik" ("Dimensions between pop and classical music"). It was written by Dr. Alfred Peschek and performed by Eela Craig with orchestra in 1972 and broadcasted by the ORF (Österreichischer Rundfunk, Austrian radio) but never officially released on CD. The full colored booklet contains, as usual in this series, a comprehensive band history as well as a discography and numerous pictures from Eela Craig’s beginnings.

While their name has flustered many gatekeepers, Rotting Christ have stood the test of time. Their 14th album, 'ΠΡΟ ΧΡΙΣΤΟU' (Pro Xristou) commemorates 35 years of evil excellence, giving it to a revered place in the band's heretical history. Always true to their name, with with 'Pro Xristou' ("Before Christ"), Sakis and his brother Temis pay tribute to the last of the Pagan kings by offering up more towering, gothic, melodic black metal.
