Rotting Christ "Khronos"

Khronos is the sixth full-length album by Greek extreme metal band Rotting Christ.

Following Sleep of the Angels, this record continues to show the band's experimentation with doom and gothic metal musical elements, but also a return to their more extreme earlier years as well. Some traces of industrial music can also be heard, particularly in the band's cover of Current 93's "Lucifer Over London", but also on other tracks as "Glory of Sadness". 

It was produced by Peter Tägtgren's (Hypocrisy) Abyss Studios, whose previous credits also include releases by Dimmu Borgir and Immortal.

''Khronos'' (ΧΡΟΝΟΣ) is Greek for 'time', on Rotting Christ's case is the personification of time as a god from the ancient Hellenic customs and lore.

The final track, "Glory of Sadness", is actually 5:34. It is followed by a few minutes of silence before another instrumental section follows.

The CD includes also a video track of "After Dark I Feel" (from Sleep of the Angels).

Brazilian version of the album has a bonus track titled "Phobia", which is also on the 3rd disc of the Century Media Records 10th Anniversary 3CD Box set.

A lyric video has been made for "Lucifer over London".

Recorded while buried under ice during a freezing March 2000 in Abyss Studios, Sweden.
