Jungle Rot unravel unregulated aggression in a purely candid style. As if set to an egg-timer, it never takes more than a heartbeat for this four-piece from Chicago to go straight to the fuckin’ point. Their songs are known for hostility and tightly infectious riffs. They have an impressive ability to deny sounding “reused” or “recycled”. Throaty, but understandable vocals have long been a trademark of Dave Matrise all throughout the nine years JR has been shoveling forth their particular brand of underground demolition. About the best thing going for Jungle Rot is their versatility. Referring mostly to musical style, their capacity to be a welcome addition to any bill is almost without question. Be it Sodom, In Flames, or the Beastie Boys, Jungle Rot is destination unto themselves.
AGAINST THE PLAGUES is a extreme metal act based in Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed in 2005 when two musicians from the black metal group Forest of Impaled – Varyen od drums and Adrian Adamus on guitar, decided to to create their own project.
They started working under the name “AGAINST” but after few months extended it to AGAINST THE PLAGUES. Originally starting as a “project”, they hired Swedish musician and producer Wojtek Lisicki (Lost Horizon,Luciferion) to help with arrangements and production of the first album. However, after a few months of cooperation the “project” turned in to a full time, active band with Lisicki becoming a full fledged member and shortly before entering the studio, Orlando Logan Perez (ex VEX) joined the band as their singer and bassist to round out the lineup.
In 2007 , the band signed distribution deals with Century Media Records in U.S. and Plastic Head in Europe and released their debiut album “Architecture of Oppression” .
AGAINST THE PLAGUES received outstanding reviews in popular metal magazines like : BW&BK , Metal Rules, Metal Hammer, Lords of Metal, Metal Maniacs, Masterful magazine.
In 2010, AGAINST THE PLAGUES signed a deal with Dutch label – Vic Records, at which point, “Architecture of Oppression” was re-mixed and re-mastered by legendary producer Dan Swano (Katatonia/Marduk/Dark Funeral/Edge of Sanity) and re-released in Europe under the new title “Decoding the Mainframe”.
Shortly after “Decoding the Mainframe” came out, guitarist Adrian Adamus left the band and was replaced by Marco Martell (ex Malevolent Creation).
Just short time later , in March 2010 , AGAINST THE PLAGUES released their first official video for the track “Great are the Eyed” which was shot in Miami, FL.
In late fall 2010 the band returned to the studio and recorded 4 new songs for mini album called “The Quaternion”. Finally “The Quaternion” was self released on December 21st 2012.
AGAINST THE PLAGUES immidiately hit the road in U.S. to promote “The Quaternion” in 2013. In March 2013 Milo Kovacevic (ex Kommandant/Ezurate) joined the band as a new bass guitarist.
In June 2013 after first leg of promotional shows in United States the band parted ways with singer Logan Perez. Perez was replaced by vocalist Shaun Albro (ApotheCarrion/Ebonmortis).
