	ROTTING CHRIST - SAKIS Talks About The Songwriting Process For The Upcoming Album
	ROTTING CHRIST guitarist/vocalist Sakis Tolis recently spoke to the Chronicles of Chaos extreme music webzine (web site) about the songwriting process for the follow-up to 2002's "Genesis", tentatively due in September through Century Media Records. [http://www.chroniclesofchaos.com/] "I've been working on the new stuff for seven months," he said. "I write all the music and I write all the lyrics by myself, and I want it to be something special. I don't know whether it will be, but I want to be able to express myself 100%. So I write songs, and change them after a few weeks � repair things, so to speak. Now we are going to go into the recording studio as soon as we are finished with this tour [with DECAPITATED, THUS DEFILED and ANATA]. We will be there for a month and then the finished product will be out in September. We will record half the album in Greece and the other half in Sweden, and it will be mastered in Fredman Studios. . . I am going to [produce] it myself, but Fredrik [Nordström] will be mixing it and mastering it. I did it before on [2000's] 'Khronos' actually, but I didn't do it so good. Now I am working as a producer in Greece, so I have learned a lot of new things. As I said before, I prefer to work by myself � I don't want many people to be involved in what I'm doing, because I am the only person who knows what I want." Asked about the lyrical approach on the new album, Sakis said, "There will be some anti-religious lyrics � nothing like 'fuck God' and all that stuff, just expressing in a poetic way the misery of people and bringing the theme of religion into that."
