JUNGLE ROT Parts Ways With Drummer

July 20, 2010

Wisconsin death metallers JUNGLE ROT have parted ways with drummer Eric House.

Commented the band: "Eric found himself in a personal crisis that demanded his utmost attention. Therefore he had no choice but to leave the band. Since then, we have been jamming with our good friend Tony Ochoa [SINDROME, SPEED\KILL/HATE] behind the kit, and things are sounding great! Tony is a ridiculously hard hitter and will be joining us on the road for the upcoming U.S. tour!"

JUNGLE ROT will hit the road in North America at the end of July, with support from Metal Blade recording artists LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH and WOE OF TYRANTS.

Comments JUNGLE ROT founding vocalist/guitarist David Matrise: "We are stoked to get back out on the road in the U.S. and Canada! It's been way too long!

"We expect to see you at the shows! No excuses!

"For all the fans in areas of the country we are not visiting on this tour, fret not! We will be doing more extensive touring in the spring after the release of our new album."

"Worst Case Scenario", the latest video from JUNGLE ROT, can be viewed below. The clip was directed by Jason Meudt and Emmet Austin of Vision 4 Films and it features crushing old-school death metal, leaving nothing but a blood-soaked battlefield in its wake.

"Worst Case Scenario" comes off JUNGLE ROT's most recent album, "What Horrors Await", which was released in June 2009 via Napalm Records. The CD was recorded at Studio One in Racine, Wisconsin with longtime engineer Chris Djuricic. Artwork for the release was handled by Gyula Havancsák (DESTRUCTION, ANNIHILATOR, GRAVE DIGGER).
