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.

No Surrender
Jungle Rot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let yourself surrender
In spite they say your name
Our hate is their splendor
Are you as weak as they say?
Only time will give they answer
Take life day by day
For I am my own master
What you see
This could be for the key...
Is you..
Struggle to break the chains
Don't let yourself surrender
Our strength is in our numbers
We will take them over
Of force will not encumber
Only we have the power.
The lyrics to Jungle Rot's song "No Surrender" are a powerful call to action for the listener to overcome any personal struggles or obstacles they may be experiencing. The opening line, "Struggle to break the chains," is an immediate reference to feeling restrained or held back by something, whether it be external or internal. The following line, "Don't let yourself surrender," is a rallying cry to persevere, rather than giving up or giving in to those challenges.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more aggressive, with the repeated line "Our hate is their splendor" suggesting a sense of defiance against those who may be trying to hold the listener back. The line "Are you as weak as they say?/Only time will give they answer" highlights the fact that others may perceive the listener as weak, but it is up to the individual to prove them wrong over time.
Despite the aggressive tone of the lyrics, the song ultimately offers a message of hope and empowerment, encouraging the listener to "rise up and fight to take control of your life." The lines "Our strength is in our numbers/ We will take them over/ Of force will not encumber/ Only we have the power" suggest that by joining together with others who may be experiencing similar struggles, the listener can overcome any obstacle and come out stronger on the other side.
