Rotpit are an international, (German/Sweden), death metal band and this is their second album.
Alright then squidgy humans, it’s time to enter the Rotpit! Your tormentors on this filthy disgusting tour of depravity are none other than members of Heads for the Dead, Ursinne, Wombbath, and many, many others. Yes, these miscreants know how to play DEATH METAL, so your soft fragile forms are in good, calloused, bloodied hands.
In case you can’t already tell, Rotpit play throat-stomping old-school death metal. It’s primitive, ugly, nasty, and bloody great fun.
Vomited forth from the decayed remains of death metal corpses from the 80s and 90s, this sickening broth is served up with Swedish death metal flavourings and a pinch of death/doom. It’s absolutely horrible stuff, yet also morbidly infectious.
The songs are carved from the bones of lesser bands and then dipped in sewage. Short, harsh, and pestilent, they hit the spot with jackhammer force and then defecate all over the place. Rotpit aren’t nice, but they are a lot of fun to be around. The riffs are massive, the vocals monstrous, the mood dark and cavernous, and the drums brutal. Long Live the Rot has exactly everything you’d want from something of this primal, repulsive nature, and it’s soooooo enjoyable to cover yourself in its effluvium.
Catchy, memorable, and easily digested, (despite the filth), Long Live the Rot is the sort of record you can just listen to over and over again. It’s 35 minutes of foul old-school death metal that doesn’t pretend to offer anything new. In fact, everything it offers is ancient, rotten, gruesome, and stinking. And do you know what? It’s glorious because of this.
Ugh. Nasty stuff. If you want to be beaten up by DEATH METAL then Rotpit are here to help you.
It’s raw, it’s primal, it’s Rotpit.
Very highly recommended for fans of Autopsy, Bloodbath, Coffins, Grave, Incantation, Undergang, etc.
