Satanas Tedeum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Satanas Tedeum is the demo and first release by Greek black metal band Rotting Christ, distributed after two years of rehearsal tapes and split records with other bands.

Although their more grindcore-fused style of black metal was not very different than other bands at the time, the group's use of synthesizers pre-dated Emperor, Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir, making them one of the first (after Bathory and Celtic Frost) to introduce symphonic elements into the second wave of black metal.

It was re-released in 1994 under independent label Unisound; as of 2006, the recording is out of print.
