Rising from the pillars of their Hellenic heritage, the sovereign kings of black metal, Rotting Christ, invite you to partake in a monumental crusade across Europe. Hot on the heels of their enthralling 14th studio album “Pro Xristou”, the Greek metal legends unveil their spellbinding European co-headlining Tour with Borknagar in Fall 2024.
“Dear Metal brothers & sisters, we can proudly announce that we celebrate our 35 years of existence with the release of our new album Pro Xristou & some special shows on European soils this Autumn. Together with the Scandinavian Pagan Metal Kings Borknagar and French diabolical horde Seth we promise to perform a hell of a show every night! Thanks for your attention and look forward to seeing you all in the battle field!”, says Sakis, on behalf of Rotting Christ.
With the spellbinding essence of their latest opus, “Pro Xristou”, the Greek forebearers Rotting Christ will share stages with Norway’s progressive black metal giants Borknagar, whose profound musical narratives have sculpted their undisputed place within the genre. Alongside them, France’s Seth will bring their own brand of fervent intensity and atmospheric ferocity to the mix. Together, they stand as a triad set to invigorate and bewitch audiences across the continent.
Borknagar states:
“We are honoured and incredibly exited to announce an upcoming co-headline tour across the European lands with our brothers in music, and true legends, Rotting Christ! In 2022, during the aftermath of the Corona pandemic, we teamed up for a highly successful tour across the North Americas as a part of the Devastation on the Nation festival tour. Now, armed and ready, with new respective albums ‘Fall’ and ‘Pro Xristou’, it’s time to team up once again for a epic European tour! This one shall be for the books – powerful, passionate and legendary! Come, join us”!
“Sharing the stage for a whole month with thy mighty Rotting Christ is thrilling! This will be our 3rd European tour in over 25 years and definitely the biggest journey that we’ve ever had! We can’t think of any better band on Season of Mist roster to promote ‘La France des Maudits’!”, says Seth.
Seth will be releasing the full-length album “La France des Maudits” on Bastille Day, July 14th, 2024, on Season of Mist.

Dive into the legacy of the last Pagan kings with “Pro Xristou” — an album drenched in ancient wisdom and robust anthems, exemplified by sonic monuments like “The Apostate” and “Like Father, Like Son”. Through melodious symphonies and fierce, unyielding harshness, the album stands as a blackened testament to unquenchable Pagan might, resonating with the echoes of Flavius Claudius Julianus and Nordic myths.
Order and stream “Pro Xristou” here.
