Legendary Greek entity Rotting Christ are a true certainty in terms of delivering abstract, yet fundamental album releases ever since their early foundation in 1989. Experimenting and stylistically metamorphosing throughout different, yet always obscure layers of elements from varying styles of heavier music has truly driven Rotting Christ to achieve a very distinct sound, giving the band a very special position within the realm of the black metal scene. Having toured all over the globe with bands such as Immortal, Blasphemy, Samael, Moonspell, Deicide, Behemoth, Theatre of Tragedy, Gorefest, Tristania, Old Man’s Child, Vader, Cradle of Filth or Tiamat, being on the roster of the first ever second generation Black Metal tour back in 1993, and having visited rather unusual countries such as Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Malta, Siberia, Moldova, Mexico or Turkey, during the course of the years Rotting Christ have established themselves as a leading force within the black metal scene. This fact was easily emphasized by the 2004 release of a Brazilian tribute album entitled “An Evil Existence For Rotting Christ”, where underground acts paid homage to one of their main influences.

“Theogonia”, the band’s 10th full-length album after several 7” and EP releases, presents Rotting Christ in the shape of a refined four-piece line-up featuring founding member Sakis (guitars / vocals), his brother Themis on drums, Andreas on bass, and the brand new guitarist, George.

If yoг use google, you'll see that I am right. But I like your version too ) Btw, I wanted to buy this T-shirt so much, but I found only white with black symbols - it doesn't look as perfect as the one Sakis got :(

Actually ΧΞΣ stands for= Χριστός Ξανα Σταυρώνεται (christos xana stavronete) something like : chirst gets crucified again... But i'm not sure about the numeral system that Tular666 was talking about.
