Rotting Christ: North American Tour Starts Tonight!


rottingchrist Don't miss out on 'Rituals', ROTTING CHRIST's acclaimed new album out on Season of Mist Worldwide! ROTTING CHRIST are kicking off their previously announced North American tour tomorrow!

The extensive tour begins in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and sees the band joining MARDUK and Season of Mist label mates CARACH ANGREN, and NECRONOMICON. A full list of confirmed tour dates can be found below.

ROTTING CHRIST, regarded as "one of the best guitar-riff-writing bands out there to date" (No Clean Singing), are touring in support of the band's new album, 'Rituals'. The band's twelfth studio album, 'Rituals' is regarded as "singular and unique a contribution to the development of metal as anything on the table." (Kevin Stewart Panko, Metal Injection). ROTTING CHRIST previously landed the Billboard Heatseekers Chart at #14 for the release 'Rituals'. Download the new album below!

For almost 30 years, ROTTING CHRIST have blazed a trail for the black metal genre to follow. From their primitive early material through to 2012's epic 'Kata Ton Daimona Eaytoy', their pioneering spirit has been a flame of inspiration in an increasingly reductive genre. Now the renowned band return with new album 'Rituals', a diverse collection of new songs influenced by rites and myths from all around the globe. 'Rituals' highlights their unique power and magic, and is the darkest and most personal-sounding ROTTING CHRIST album to date. As 'Rituals' illustrates, there is a reason that ROTTING CHRIST are an international heavy metal institution.
