Rotting Christ Announce Their Unholy Return To Australia & NZ with Debutants Jungle Rot
Blasphemous black metal legends Rotting Christ have announced all the details of their return to Australia & New Zealand as part of the band's 35th Anniversary Tour Of The World. As if that's not enough for extreme metal fiends, joining them for their debut shows down-under is Wisconsin grooving death-metallers Jungle Rot.Formed in Athens in 1987, Rotting Christ quickly evolved their initial grindcore sound into a much more blackened entity, putting them right at the forefront of the second wave of black metal churning the early 90s musical underground. Returning to Australia for the first time since 2014, the Greek four-piece will be celebrating over three decades in the biz, with a setlist promising cuts delivered from across their 13 album career.Along for the ride are American death metal troupe Jungle Rot, who will be making the trip to Australia and New Zealand for the very first time. Also with over three decades of history under their belts, the quartet - fronted by stalwart member Dave Matrise - have forged their reputation through the relentless delivery of their patented brand of groove-infused DM.With both groups headlining the freshly sold out DethFest '24 in Melbourne, the additional run of dates is a godsend (or devilsend?) for brutality-lovers. With seven extra dates across Australia and New Zealand - including a second show in Melbourne - the RottingChrist/Jungle Rot double header, presented by Foundry Touring and Your Mate Bookings, is a cannot-miss for extreme metal fans!Words by Andrew Kapper
