When I see the words “Greek metal,” the first act I think of is Rotting Christ, the great Athens black metal band that’s been making sacrilegious, lightly Satanic music sound ancient and tribal for decades. But now, a very different metal warrior has emerged from the nation of Greece: Father Dionysios Tabakis, a 53-year-old Greek Orthodox priest who makes devotional microtonal drone music at home and who has never played a live show. Earlier this year, he released his debut album Paradise Metal, a strange and expansive record that has become a bit of an internet sensation.
