3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad...but my least favorite from them., March 31, 2004

Out of all of their albums, this has to be my least favorite. It has a couple great tracks, but the only one that really stands out is the title track. On albums like A Dead Poem, Triarchy of Lost Lovers, and Genesis, they succeed in being far more epic....whereas on this album is feels very tired and run of the mill.

Not a bad album by any means, but I recommend pretty much any of their other albums before this one.

Oh...and they are from Greece. Not Germany.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful....however...., July 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sleep of Angels (Audio CD)

I love this cd, unfortunately, I have been with these guys for a really long time, and this album for me is a little less than what I would have hoped for. The Mighty Contract and Triarchy of lost souls are both extremely epic feeling albums. To a lesser degree, so is A dead Poem, as that particular album just plain rocks, but doesnt give you the feel the formers do. Most people would disagree with me on that, but thats a different review isnt it? I just felt that with Sleep of the angels, Rotting Christ lost their epicness, their passion, and their style. It is still Rotting christ, with many good songs (The title track is the best), but they could have done better......

3.0 out of 5 stars HAIL TO THE HELLENIC GODS, July 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sleep of Angels (Audio CD)

I GIVE THIS CD 3 STARS BUT ONLY BECAUSE I LIKE THEIR PAST RECORDINGS BETTER, BUT THIS IS STILL A GOOD RECORDING. IF YOU LIKED THE SLOWER GOTHIC FEEL OF "A DEAD POEM", THEN THIS SHOULD PLEASE YOU. ROTTING CHRIST WERE PIONEERS OF THE BLACK METAL GENRE(ALONG WITH MAYHEM). IF MYSTIC BLACKNESS IS WHAT YOU ARE CRAVING, THEN BUY "THY MIGHTY CONTRACT" OR "THE TRIARCHY OF THE LOST LOVERS"
