This is another country that long-time readers of this blog (there's what three or four of you?) will probably be able to guess. Rotting Christ is one of my favorite overall bands, not just from Greece, but from anywhere. The band has actually had kind of an interesting musical progression, beginning as a grindcore band then abruptly shifting gears to black metal and then adding more and more gothic influences. Now, the band exists somewhere in between gothic and black metal. They have a very interesting sound and write some very catchy songs. Rotting Christ is part of the Hellenic black metal scene, a number of groups that play a unique style of black metal. NOTABLE SCENES: Hellenic black metal. Power metal in recent years.
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Dodsferd
Heathendom
Kawir
Septicflesh
Ravencult
Varathron
Wishdoom
Interesting post. The only band I'm familiar with materialwise on your list is Septicflesh, though I've heard of or seen the names of most of those bands. I've been following your blog off and on for some time, but since I finally registered on Blogger I can post now.
