Bio:
The Midwest based quartet JUNGLE ROT have garnered a large
and loyal following within the last 10 years due in large part to having a
style more similar to acts such as Slayer and Sodom, rather than the typical
Cannibal Corpse and Suffocation rip-offs that the underground extreme music
scene is so oversaturated with. The sound and attitude that JUNGLE ROT have
exposed the public to is one of efficiency and execution. JUNGLE ROT have
never tried to be the goriest or most technical band in the extreme
underground, but instead have focused on flowing grooves and infectious,
catchy songwriting.
In 1995, JUNGLE ROT released their first full-length
demo/album, "Skin The Living", to rave reviews. This, coupled with the bands
explosive live performances, led to a recording deal in 1998 with Pulverizer
Records. They immediately released their second full-length album,
"Slaughter The Weak", which helped them garner a rabid underground
following. After enjoying promising and successful sales from the record,
JUNGLE ROT was let down when Pulverizer Records closed it's doors. At this
time, independent label Pavement Records stepped up and re-released
"Slaughter The Weak" for the band.
Proving that they were one of the hardest working bands in the
underground scene, JUNGLE ROT survived numerous lineup changes, kept playing
shows and wrote new material. Some of this material, along with some classic
choice cover songs, was recorded for the EP entitled "Darkness Foretold",
released by cult magazine/label SOD. JUNGLE ROT's relentless touring and
aggressive self-promotion caught the attention of Olympic Recordings, who
quickly offered them a deal. Their third album, "Dead And Buried", further
showed what this dynamic unit have to offer and exposed them to a larger,
broader audience.
In 2004 came the release of JUNGLE ROT's 4th album, "Fueled
by Hate", on Century Media/Olympic Recordings. Probably their strongest
effort yet, this album should be no disappointment to any real metal fan.
The year 2005 sees the band celebrating their 10 year anniversary with even
more member changes and consistent touring including their first trek
overseas to slaughter European audiences. JUNGLE ROT are now writing new
songs for the next album, entitled "War Zone", the album is slated to be
released in June 2006 on Crash Music, with frequent subsequent touring to
follow. Staying with the formula of memorable songs and catchy grooves,
while still having the heaviness to live up to and exceed the current
requirements for extreme music, JUNGLE ROT will continue its legacy of
uncompromising straightforward aggression for years to come.
