March 10, 2016, 8 years ago
Religious communities are boycotting Rotting Christ’s upcoming shows in South Africa due to band's name.
The band have issued the following statement: “The religious voices that want to suppress the artistic minds freedom and remove any "voice" that is different to their own will not dominate, they will not find auspicious ground against a band who lives in the frontlines of the NON SERVIAM battlefield.
“So we definitely will do our scheduled shows in South Africa this summer (under the name Χ Ξ Σ due to legal issues) and we promise a hell of a show to our African metal brothers. See you in the battlefield!”
