War Anthem Records proudly announces the new album of German/Swedish based Death Metallers ROTPIT, entitled “Long Live The Rot“, set for release on November 29th 2024 on CD, LP and digitally. A tape version is coming through Selfmadegod Records.
“Long Live The Rot” marks the second full-length of the trio, delivering 10 new tracks which are sicker, more filthy, more ambitious, unique in sound and straight to the bone. So all rotfreaks who already appreciated last year’s highly acclaimed debut “Let There Be Rot” will get an even deadlier injection!

The album introduces ROTPIT’s new drummer Erik Barthold, who is well known from Swedish Doomers in Left Hand Solution and his participation in the glorious punk band Det Kristet Utseende. ROTPIT comment: “We were looking for a drummer who is located closeby to our main songwriter Jonny Pettersson to implement a more natural flow and growth to our new material on the one hand and to develop ROTPIT from an originally intended studio project into a live performing band on the other hand. Erik did a hell of a job in pushing our songs to a new level while he perfectly added his own skillset into the soundscape of rot.”
Main songwriter Jonny Pettersson (Massacre, Wombbath, Berzerker Legion) once again produced the album at Studio Unbound, while the mastering was finished at Nevo Studios in Sundsvall, Sweden. Ralf Hauber (Revel In Flesh, Heads For The Dead, Fetid Zombie, Just Before Dawn) added his mark shocking vocals, filthy lyrics and the overall concept of rot. Vocalwise this is his most brutal sounding contribution to the scene so far. The cover artwork was created by Finnish cult underground artist T. Kannibalet Hietomma Art in the old school hand drawn way.
If you are into Old School Rotten Death Metal like Autopsy, Nihilist, Grave, Undergang and early Paradise Lost you should definitely check out “Long Live The Rot“.
