[edit] History

Jungle Rot was founded in 1994. After their first two demos, the band gets an American independent label by Pure Death Records, where they released their first album in 1996. Next year was the second album released, by Pulverizer Records, which was next year released again by Pavement Records. The EP "Darkness Fortold" was released by the small label S.O.D., which is controlled by the creator of the underground-music magazine "Sounds of Death". The next two albums were released by Olympic Recordings. Since 2005 the band hasn't any pact with an label, so the last album "War Zone" was released by themself and sold over Crash Music, an American market.

[edit] Music and texts

The lyric concept of the band is the war and his concomitants. So the name goes back to a military jargon, which arise during the Vietnam War, who relates to an infection of the feets, which appears in the jungle by the wetness of the military boots. (Jungle rot)
