The album “Pro Xristou” is dedicated to the era before Christianity. According to the band’s press, Sakis Tolis told that many churches were built on the remains of the pagan sanctuaries so that the knowledge of the ancients would be erased forever. On the Rotting Christ’s website, it is written that this album is dedicated to “…to those who resisted the coming of the Christianity, which destroyed all the values, traditions and knowledge of the ancient world”.

After a melodic intro, the first song “The Apostate” is blowing the mind with its heavy melodic riffs and epic vocals. The songs has long melodic guitar lines and choruses, typical of Rotting Christ, behind the roaring vocals of Sakis Tolis.
