To coincide with the release of their 12th full-length album, Cruel Face Of War, Death Metal band Jungle Rot have revealed a new lyric video for the album track “Horrors Vile”, featuring David Ingram of Benediction. Kenosha, Wisconsin’s Jungle Rot have been going for 30+ years.
With their latest album, Cruel Face Of War, the quartet continues to explore their signature OSDM style, and it was Produced once again by Chris Djuricic at Bell City Sound Company, and mixed and mastered by Dan Swano at Unisound Studio.
Dave Matrise (vocals, guitars) comments:
Let’s start off by saying what an amazing accomplishment it is to hit 12 releases in my career. Never would I think I’d still be doing this 30+ years later. I guess be careful what you wish for. I’m very grateful to all of our fans that have supported us for so many years and for never giving up on us. To my bandmates for all of their hard work and dedication to me and JRot over all these years. We have stood the test of time. We are still here playing our trademark style of old school death metal that has carved a legendary name for us in the underground scene today. ‘Cruel Face Of War’ will not disappoint. It’s full of crushing grooves and violent hooks that will surely break anyone’s neck.
Starting next month, Jungle Rot will appear across Europe this summer, headlining the “Back to the Old School Tour” with KHNVM and Rats Of Gomorrah as support, in addition to performing at some of the biggest festivals on the continent.
