Jungle Rot is an American death metal band from Kenosha .

history

Jungle Rot was founded in 1994. After the first two demo recordings , the band received a contract with the American independent label Pure Death Records, which released their debut album in 1996. The next year the second album was released, which was first re-released via Pulverizer Records and a year later via the much larger label Pavement Music . The EP Darkness Fortold was released on the small label SOD, which is run by the makers of the underground music magazine Sounds of Death . The following two albums were released through Olympic Recordings. The band has not had a label contract since 2005, the last album War Zone was self-released and offered and sold via Crash Music , a US distributor. In addition, a live recording of the band from the German Fuck the Commerce Festival was released in 2006. One of the main problems of the band besides the constant label changes is an unusually high fluctuation of musicians, which has slowed the band down again and again. For the year 2007, a small tour of Germany is on the program of the band for the second time, which will take place together with the reunion massacre .

style

The lyrical concept of the band is war and its aftermath. The name of the group goes back to an expression of the US military jargon , which came up during the Vietnam War and refers to an infection of the feet, which occurred in the jungles of Vietnam due to constant moisture in military boots.

From the beginning the band has played a Death Metal style that is more in the mid-tempo range. Bands like Obituary and Six Feet Under sound similar . The band sees itself in the tradition of bands like Sodom or Slayer and rejects the 'host' of cannibal corpse and suffocation rip-offs. The press, in turn, sees Jungle Rot in part exactly in this spectrum.
