I must say that I always wondered if anyone was ever going to write a book for rotting christ. they are greece's most influential and famous black metal band. it finally happened with the help of dayal patterson, of course. in a previous post i showed all his books that i possess and he is, for me at least, the best black metal journalist out there.
it was announced that he would come to athens on december 15th and sign books, together with sakis, themis and jim. there was no way i'd lose this opportunity! so together with my daughter we arrived at bowel of noise record store for the signing.
we met sakis, dayal and jim, themis hadn't arrived yet and i didn't stay around to wait because of my girl with me who started to get hungry. but it was great to meet these three gentlemen and have the book signed! chatting with them a bit was great, too and i enjoyed the nice conversations.
i forgot to ask jim for a picture, but i later found this screenshot of a video where we are all at the same spot, so this has to do for now.
i read the book already and it was amazing! it covers the 30 year span of the band's career and shows how persistent sakis was to keep the band going. we are lucky to have them still around and to still give us new albums! i'm also happy that i could help dayal with some scans for the book and thus have my name in the thank you list. how awesome :)
the new album will be out shortly and i cannot wait. the songs that have been released already promise much! non serviam indeed.
