Greek black metal veterans Rotting Christ completed the 30-date "Apostles Of Darkness Over The Americas" headlining tour with support from Melechesh, Hate, Abigail Williams and Lecherous Nocturne. Several of the band's concerts were picketed by Christian groups.

In May 2005, the band famously had a run in with Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine who Refused to play a Greek concert if Rotting Christ were on the bill (apparently because of the their name).

In the official Sonicsphere site (www.sonispherefestivals.com) Rotting Christ frontman Sakis Tolis stated the following: “Yes we have many problems but I don’t give a shit as this is metal, we have considered in the past but never change it now as it is metal.”

“Metal should be against everything, we are very proud of this and simply put all religions are rotting. I don’t give a shit about that.”


“Yes we had some problems with Dave Mustaine but I don’t care about that anymore. We are just back from our tour in America where we had many problems about our name. One was very hot indeed – in Portland and North Carolina.”


“I’m not worried or scared by any protests as I have played all over the world in very notorious territories so I don’t give a shit.”


Rotting Christ played live yesterday on Sonicsphere festival, which took place at Terravibe Park, Athens. Check out fan-filmed video footage of the concert below.

You can't complain too much if you chose to wear a jacket made of Purulent Animal innards and someone tells you you are ugly and stink bad...
But they have a point afterall, it's metal, everyone can do what he feels, from Blasphemy to elegies, in the name of satan...or God!

Dave Mustane should have his brain checked, clearly something wrong with it0
