In a match made in Heaven (or perhaps Hades in this case), Greek metal demigods Rotting Christ and Assyrian/Dutch warlords Melechesh will tour America in March of 2011. Both of these black/death metal stalwarts have a reputation for sterling live performances and a penchant for ancient religions, so the pairing couldn't be more appropriate. Rotting Christ has done the stateside rounds a couple of times in recent years, but this will be Melechesh's first-ever US tour. Once again, fans in Austin can thank Emo's for steering the tour in our direction.
