ROTPIT - Long Live The Rot CD

"Long live the rot" marks the 2nd full-length album of German/Swedish based Old School Death Metal trio in ROTPIT. They deliver 10 new tracks - sicker, more filthy, more ambitious, unique in sound and straight to the bone. Rotfreaks who already appreciated the highly acclaimed debut ,Let there be rot’ , which was released in 2023 by War Anthem Records, will get an even deadlier injection with their sophomore record! On this album ROTPIT introducing their new drummer Erik Barthold, who is well known from Swedish Doomers in LEFT HAND SOLUTION and his participation in the glorious punk band DET KRISTET UTSEENDE: „We were looking for a drummer who is located closeby to our main songwriter Jonny Pettersson to implement a more natural flow and growth to our new material on the one hand and to develop ROTPIT from an originally intended studio project into a live performing band on the other hand.
Erik did a hell of a job in pushing our songs to a new level while he perfectly added his own skillset into the soundscape of rot.“
Like on their debut their main songwriter Jonny Pettersson (MASSACRE, WOMBBATH, BERZERKER LEGION) produced the album at Studio Unbound. The mastering was finished at Nevo Studios in Sundsvall, Sweden.
Ralf Hauber (REVEL IN FLESH, HEADS FOR THE DEAD, FETID ZOMBIE, JUST BEFORE DAWN...) added his mark shocking vocals, filthy lyrics and the overall concept of rot. Vocalwise this is his most brutal sounding contribution to the scene so far. The coverartwork was created by Finnish cult underground artist T. Kannibalet Hietomma Art in the Old School hand drawn way.
If you are into Old School Rotten Death Metal like AUTOPSY, NIHILIST, GRAVE, UNDERGANG and early PARADISE LOST you should definitely check out ‚Long live the rot‘.
