Jungle
Rot
has garnered a large and loyal following within the
last 10 years…10 years? Damn… and it’s my very first close encounter
with them… but certainly not my last!
I’m sitting here listening to their latest and 5th
album titled “War Zone”…and for the past 8 days, or so, it has
rarely left my CD-player. I was hooked instantly when I first threw
it in my player. My first impression was that it almost sounded like
a slower, groovy version of Vader. Another thing that I found
appealing was that the vocals is very easy to understand. It’s
growls, alright… but audible and understandable.
The songs are mostly mid-tempo, groovy and very, very
heavy and easy to tell apart. The heavy as hell and super catchy
guitar-riffs unite with mighty drum attacks and let every single
song shine as a small, but fine Death Metal hymn.
“War Zone” contains 11 songs and even though the
album only last 32 minutes, you’re in for a top-notch riff-feast
here.
The production is done by Chris Djuricic and he must
really know what he’s doing because the sound is awesome. Both clear
and hellishly warm. I won’t hesitate to recommend this groovy Death
Metal feast to you, because Jungle Rot alone makes it a good
year for Death Metal.
