Rotting Christ To Tour Of West North America

Back in 1987, Sakis Tolis and his brother Themis started climbing through the dark catacombs of Greece's metal scene as a grindcore act. Now, 35 years later, Rotting Christ tour the world as one of the biggest bands in black metal.

Rotting Christ just announced their 14th album. "Pro Xristoy" is bound to hold a revered place in the band's heretical history. Always true to their name, with Pro Xristoy ("Before Christ"), the band pay tribute to the last of the Pagan kings who resisted the spread of Christianity.

Pro Xristoy comes out May 24. But lucky fans will get a sneak peek at the new album come March when Rotting Christ tours North America. The band will hit two dates on the West Coast of the United States before playing a string of five shows across Canada. Joining them for this run are Uada and Abigail Williams.

The tour dates are as follows:

March 25 - Portland, OR @ Bossanova Ballroom
March 26 - Seattle, WA @ El Corazon
March 27 - Vancouver, BC @ Rickshaw Theater
March 29 - Calgary, AB @ Dickens
March 30 - Edmonton, AB @ Starlite Room
March 31 - Regina, SK @ The Exchange
April 1 - Winnipeg, MB @ Park Theater
