History Music / JungleRot

However, everything began to change for them after dropping from Napalm Records. In early 2011, a turning point in the band's career took place when they garnered the attention of big-name label Victory Records, who welcomed them to their roster during April of that year. Jungle Rot, so far, is one of only three death metal bands on the label, the others being {{Pathology}} and Wretched. Despite this, the label change gave them a lot more attention, and their two latest albums, 2011's ''Kill on Command'' and 2013's ''Terror Regime'', have landed them spots on tours with many big-name death metal acts. Their career is now stronger than ever, and at the rate they've been going in recent times, it seems they'll remain on the death metal scene for at least a few more years to come.

The group's eighth studio album ''Order Shall Prevail'' released in June of 2015, while their self-titled ninth album came out on July 20, 2018.

* DarkestAfrica: The album cover of ''A Call to Arms'' ''might'' has this going on, if the tribesmen and dead bodies of soldiers are of any indication

* TankGoodness: The album artwork for "Terror Regime"

* RevolvingDoorBand: The band is infamous for their near-constant lineup changes. So far, since their formation, they've had a whopping 15 former members in 19 years. Not surprisingly, Dave Matrise is the only remaining original member. Most of the lineup (Matrise, Geoff Bub, and James Gemenz) has been stable since 2005; the only revolving door has been with drummers, as they have gone through five (Eric House, Neil Zacharek, [[Music/BlackCrownInitiate Jesse Beahler]], Remington Roberts, and Joey Muha) in ten years. Roberts is currently back as a live drummer, but a full-time replacement has not been announced (and not even a regular live drummer, as he sat out their spring 2016 tour with Music/DyingFetus; Parker Yowell sat in instead).

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Hard 9 or borderline/soft 10.

* WarIsHell: Their main lyrical theme.

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: The drummer situation. After they kicked Joey Muha out in 2015, they just started drafting people for individual tours instead of trying to get them to join full-time and had Jesse Beahler track the self-titled as a session member, and by James Gemenz's own admission, they will probably never have a full-time drummer again.

The group's eighth studio album ''Order Shall Prevail'' will be released June 2015.

* SpecialGuest: [[Music/{{Soulfly}} Max Cavalera]] did guest vocals on "Fight Where You Stand", while Jesse Beahler returned to track session drums on their as-yet-untitled 2018 release.

* WarIsHell: Their main lyrical theme.
* XMeetsY: Music/{{Obituary}} meets Music/CannibalCorpse and Music/BoltThrower.

* LeadBassist: James Gemenz is a Type B.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Hard 9 or low 10.

* SignatureStyle: Hardcore punk-styled writing, groovy portions with a heavy use of power chords and laid-back tunings, a blend of thrash and traditional death metal drumming, and Dave's slurred mid-pitched barking.

* {{Gorn)): Justified, considering WarIsHell.

Jungle Rot is a four-piece DeathMetal band from Kenosha, Wisconsin. Named after a grotesque foot infection often diagnosed to soldiers in the Vietnam War (caused by the bacteria and germs in the forest, hence the name), the group is known for their hardcore-influenced writing style, laid-back groove sections, explosive live shows, primitive lyrical themes, and the signature bark of vocalist Dave Matrise.

* VindicatedByHistory: ''And how!'' Until getting signed to a major label, basically nobody knew who they were, and those who did regarded them as SoOkayItsAverage, with many even calling them "uninspired" and "death metal's most average band". Once they got signed to Victory, however, they ended up getting rave reviews and considerable praise from many people in the metal underground. They've been billed on numerous tours since with some of death metal's biggest acts, such as Cattle Decapitation, Suffocation, Decrepit Birth, Exhumed, and Rings of Saturn. Being signed to a label with mostly metalcore and post-hardcore bands probably helped them get recognition, but still. It's no wonder their fanbase seems to grow by the ten-thousands every month.
