Jungle
Rot has put out four albums in ten years, now they have signed a new
four-year deal with Crash Music. Starting out this metal correlation, they
bring back something that should grab their fans by the balls. “Darkness
Foretold” was originally released in 1998 by SOD Magazine. This Jungle
Rot collection includes covers, live tracks and one “new” song.
The title track is the only song that can be considered new, even if this
was released years ago. You can also find it on their album “Slaughter
of the Weak,” depending on what version of the album. Three cover
songs are all from the earlier years of metal, which include Sodom’s
“Agent Orange,” Slayer’s “Flight ‘Til Death,”
and Carnivore’s “Jesus Hitler.” The final three tunes
are the live tracks. “Consumed In Darkness” is off their album
“Slaughter The Weak” and “Eternal Agony” and “Tomb
of Armenous” are of the disc “Skin The Living”. Everything
has their death/thrash metal sound that includes the catchy riffs and sinuous
grooves that their fans love. If you have their albums you have heard half
this disc already, but being that some are live and there are covers mixed
in, it should even make those fan want this album.
