JUNGLE ROT - Slaughter The Weak LP (CLEAR)

Re-issue of US Death Metal band, JUNGLE ROT's second album from 1997 'Slaughter the Weak' on CLEAR vinyl!

Jungle Rot formed in 1992 originally as a side project by Jim Harte and Joe Thomas, members of the Illinois Thrash Metal act, Prisoner.  They acquired Kenosha-based guitarist Dave Matrise (Num Skull, Nocturnal, Fatal Violence) in 1993 and in 1994 when Matrise took over the band got serious and started to take off.

Jungle Rot play up a very different angle on the violence and gore side of the Death Metal paradigm, largely dwelling upon the less otherworldly depravities of real world butchers while providing a horrific sound that isn't too far removed from the original sound that came to fruition at the close of the 80s and held sway over most of the scene until the mid 90s. They are a more obscure yet somewhat more consistent alternative to Cannibal Corpse, to whom they sound fairly similar, though they vary their formula a bit less on this album and almost flirt with the simplicity of a goregrind band, though they don't resemble the almost tongue-in-cheek extremes that tend to go with it. But if the preference is a gore-obsessed G.I. Joe over an undead cannibal, then Jungle Rot is the brand to go with.
