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.

Killing Spree
Jungle Rot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Carcass floating endlessly
Putrid stench of death
Melts withing my brain
Take another life, Endless screaming
Peel the skin, as I consume your soul
Dimminish a race, Endless screaming
Hell - Something you cannot perceive
Pain - Bludgeoned bodies scream
Rotten - Bones decay
Death - Not an easy task to acheive
The lyrics to Jungle Rot's song Killing Spree depict the imagery of a bloodbath - a massacre taking place with no end in sight. The lyrics convey the aftermath of the brutality - an ocean of blood, floating corpses, and the stench of death, all of which have penetrated the singer's psyche. The first lines of the song present a battlefield soaked in blood as a sea, illustrating how the countless bodies of the slain soldiers have created a crimson ocean. The second line refers to endless floating corpses, highlighting the dire situation of the battlefield. The third line describes the smell of decay which consumes the singer's mind and destroys any trace of humanity left. The fourth line presents an image of madness, with the singer's mind distorted by the gruesome scene he is witnessing.
The chorus of Killing Spree continues the appalling imagery, depicting an endless cycle of violence and desecration. The first line takes a life, while the second describes skin-peeling, as if the singer is taking his victims apart piece by piece. Diminishing a race refers to the antagonist's intent to wipe out a particular group of people, adding another horrifying layer to the song's meaning. The line 'evil is coming' demonstrates that there is no escaping the carnage the singer is creating. The final line makes an already violent act almost impossible - death is not an easy task to achieve, and the singer may be trying to complete this gruesome process in a way that is both quick and effective.
