I wasn't sure of what to expect from Rotting Christ's eleven album "Aealo". I've always found them to be underachievers who never really reached their full potential. This album is no different. "Aealo" sees the band all but lose their black metal identity in favour of a more traditional metal sound that features more of the ethnic influences that they have hinted at before. Sakis Tolis' raspy Tom G Warrior-style vocals sound thin & the musicianship & song structures are typically simple. There's also not enough atmosphere or intensity to keep me interested in this album. Probably Rotting Christ's weakest release to date.
