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 released "War Zone", in June 2006 on Crash Music and embarked on a tour shortly following the release. 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 continued its legacy of uncompromising and straightforward aggression for years to come, which finally earned them a new recording deal with the Austrian label Napalm Records in late 2008.
Like a thundering battle tank the Americans JUNGLE ROT move into position at the front lines to bring their latest weapon into action. "What Horrors Await" consists of a commando troop of intense grooves, killer double bass, and brutally deep growls, which sound-off incomparably over the roaring of the combat action. Threatening and with a never-before heard intensity, the guitar riffs, not unlike deadly fusillades, provide the listener with barely enough time to take cover from the impending inferno. One thing is for sure, metal veterans and new recruits will fall in without batting an eye, as "What Horror Awaits" delivers crushing old school death metal, leaving nothing but a blood-soaked battlefield in its wake.
They are also now signed to the label Victory Records.

Doomsday
Jungle Rot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Evolving for thousands of years and still no better
Turning on each other when times are tough
Pray for the madness of man to perish forever
It’s safe to say that our ship has now sailed
Humanity has so hopelessly failed…
Fissures and fault lines blossom and eat social order
Acid rain falls and melts all the flesh from your bone
Corpses lay seared, flesh from bodies will smolder
It’s safe to say that our ship has now sailed
Humanity has so hopelessly failed…
Lead all to an end of sorrow and dismay
Hear my death prayer and bring forth our doomsday
Oceans are boiling
A torrent of flames from on high
O' Armageddon
The global disease nullified
I take great solace
In knowing you all die with me
Know no conscience
Extinction will set the world free
Anarchy now the only way of life
Morality and virtues had once thrived
History of accomplishments lost in the fight
Incessant bloodbath from which no one survives
It’s safe to say that our ship has now sailed
Humanity has so hopelessly failed…
Lead all to an end of sorrow and dismay
Hear my death prayer and bring forth our doomsday
The lyrics to Jungle Rot's song "Doomsday" express a sense of hopelessness and despair towards humanity. The singer, who seems to have lost all faith in the human species, highlights the fact that despite evolving for thousands of years, humanity has not become any better. Instead, in times of distress, humans turn on each other, leading to chaos and destruction. The singer prays for the end of the madness of man, hoping for humanity to perish forever.
The second verse of the song describes a horrific scene where fiery comets rain down from the heavens, causing the earth to rupture and breakdown. Acid rain falls, and the flesh from bodies melts away, with corpses scattered among the wreckage. The singer believes that this is the end of the human race as we know it, and there is no hope for survival. In the chorus, the singer repeats that our ship has now sailed, and humanity is doomed; there is no way to prevent the end of the world. The singer's final plea is to let the doomsday come and bring an end to all the suffering, sorrow, and dismay.
Overall, the "Doomsday" lyrics touch on the themes of hopelessness, despair, and the end of the world. The singer seems to have lost all hope for the human species and desires for humanity's extinction. The song's lyrics reflect a bleak and dark view of the world, leaving the listeners with a sense of foreboding and unease.
