Jungle Rot was founded in 1994. After their first two demos, the band was signed to the American independent label Pure Death Records, where they released their first album in 1996. Next year, the second album was released, by Pulverizer Records, which was next year released again by Pavement Music. 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 had no contract with a label, so the last album Warzone was released by themselves and sold by Crash Music on the American market. In 2008, they headlined a European tour with support from Warmaster, Downswitch and Walking Corpse. The band signed with Napalm Records in January 2009 and released What Horrors Await in June 2009. In April 2011, the band signed with Victory Records and released their album Kill on Command through the label on June 21, 2011.[1]
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, that relates to an infection of the feet, which appears in the jungle by the wetness of the military boots. (Jungle rot)
