Not long after the Dutch metal act GOD DETHRONED had one of their concerts in Romania canceled, the same has happened to the Greek band ROTTING CHRIST. They were supposed to play in Verona, Italy on July 12, as part of the Iron Sunday Festival, alongside KREPUSKUL (ROM), but the local authorities canceled the band's performance due to the “satanic” nature of their music.

Fortunately, the organizers of the event found a way to keep the schedule and moved the concert to a venue outside the city.

Supastan, what are you 12? It's called free will. The ability to make our own decisions, good or bad.

Religion and religious people are responsible for some of the most brutal and horrific events in history (yeah, I know..."what about Stalin, Hitler,etc...drop in the bucket) . Its still going on as we speak. When a little ole meek band like "Rotting Christ" is persecuted, this should be the last straw!

Actually, i'm inclined to not give a fvck. This type of publicity will do wonders for their album sales so it's a win win as far as i'm concerned.

+1 American Patriot. Posts 1, 3, and 6 sound just like me when I was 14- like a close-minded idiot with no real basis for his arguments. Actually now that I look again, I actually wasn't nearly as stupid as "supastan".

americanpatriot1, blindgreed1, and pursuit_of_vikings: I agree with all of y'all. What's better for the band then to have their name splattered all over the internet. If you agree with their music or not, it's still free speech and they should be able to play it. I understand that this did not happen in America and not all coutries are into free speech as much as us but, still. If you don't like the music or the message don't go.

Supastan - at least we know where you stand on religion.
