NNMR: No Nonsense Metal Interviews
2013 has been a significant year for Wisconsin Death-Metal professionals, Jungle Rot. It has been a year that has seen them clocking up some serious miles out on the road, whilst successfully managing to steal the stage from some of the biggest names in the business. This year has also seen the release of their 7th full-length album, the pummeling, Terror Regime. All the signals indicate that it is soon to be Jungle Rot's "time". Not their time to call it a day or their time to sell-out and leave fans scratching their heads and seeking safety in caves, but their time to take over the whole wide world.
So whats the next step in Jungle Rot's world conquering campaign? Well clearly they don't think 7 albums of skull shagging savagery is enough to complete the conquest, as Jungle Rot's own James Genenz made clear in this recent interview with No Nonsense Metal. So what else did James tell NNM? Well other than speaking about the latest album and the perils of the road, James also spoke of the next album, the road ahead and the bands future, but you can read all about that for yourself......
NNM: Hello James, so you guys released your 7th full-length album, "Terror Regime" back in March. What has the reception been like to the new album so far?
James Genenz (Bassist, Lyricist): "Everyone seems to really gig it so far.The reviews have all been good and the reception has been really positive. We're looking forward to working on the next album soon!"
NNM: After the release of "Terror Regime" you guys hit the road alongside Suffocation and Exhumed, then later with Decrepit Birth. What have those experiences been like?
James: "Luckily we've been fortunate enough to tour with friends and good people. The Suffocation tour was a tad rough at the end because we lost our drummer to one of the opening bands..... which makes no sense but, oh well. We are headed to Europe this week to do some festivals and some club shows with our buddies in Decrepit Birth. Later this year we'll be doing a US run with Six Feet Under."
NNM: What other plans has Jungle Rot got in place for the rest of the year?
James: "In November we are scheduled to tour the US alongside Six Feet Under, and in October we are playing at the Trois-Rivieres Metalfest in Quebec and that is always a sick time too! We'll probably get busy writing the new album soon after, unless some more tour offers come up which would be cool too!"
NNM: Where do you guys get the inspiration to create new material?
James: "It's not hard really, it just comes to us. We've got writing down to a science now and we just expect to continue to write more aggressive music in the future."
NNM: Where do you think Jungle Rot will be in 5 years time?
James: "Hopefully still doing our thing. We aren't spring chickens anymore so who knows what could happen. Lets put it this way, as long as we can physically perform, we will keep doing this."
NNM: Any last comments you would like to make to Jungle Rot fans or anyone interested in the band?
James: "We truly appreciate everyone's support and look forward to seeing everyone on the road! Keep an eye out for us!"
You heard the man, keep an eye out for Jungle Rot. Preferably 2 eyes if you know whats good for you. If you happen to have spent the last half a year living in a cage in the middle of the Antarctica, then you will be forgiven for not possessing a copy of Terror Regime, only just that is. However, if you have been living in the civilized world and haven't yet brought the album, it would be advisable to invest in a copy before people start getting suspicious. People of the US should make sure they catch the live support ritual in November alongside Chris Barnes and co of Six Feet Under. Lets face it, it wont be long before Jungle Rot will be headlining tours of that size.
