A year after their Let There Be Rot<\/em><\/a> debut full-length album, Swedish\/German trio Rotpit slithers from its tomb with an arsenal of 35 minutes of gangrenous slop. When opening track \u2018Sewer Rot\u2019 hits I could\u2019ve sworn somebody had filled my speakers with fragments of bone ash. I knew I was in for a filthy ride but \u2018Sewer Rot\u2019 morbidly gushes like a foul mix of Autopsy and Bolt Thrower, regularly choking on its own fetid gasps of horror to the macabre wine of greyed out instrumentation.<\/p>\n

Murky and maniacal, Long Live The Rot<\/em> exudes such pungent riffs and solos that one can feel the spores of black mould hooking into the lungs. The vile trudge of \u2018Massive Maggot Swarm\u2019 speaks of \u201ceyeballs bursting\u201d, \u201creducing the fresh carcass to bone and hair\u201d as \u201cblowflies lay their eggs in the rotting meat\u201d to a sluggish grinding riff siphoned straight from the bowel swamp. Such pus-ridden and pulverising purulence leaks continuously from this blood-soaked wreckage of a sound as Rotpit provides a steady deluge of decomposed hammering (\u2018Eat Or Be Eaten\u2019) alongside blast beat bludgeoning (\u2018Tunnel Rat\u2019) and manly mulch (\u2018Funeral Mock\u2019).<\/p>\n

With every step each instrument wades waist high through gut muck, rolling laboriously like tubs of thick fat and spurned on by the gurgling of Ralf Hauber (Revel In Flesh, Heads For The Dead). There\u2019s a lot of rot worship within the confines of this opus; \u2018The Triumph Of Rot\u2019 is a hideous juggernaut that transforms into a gory gallop, \u2018Long Live The Rot\u2019 feasts on its own rhythmic decaying convulsions and \u2018We Rot\u2019 lumbers like a despondent critter carrying a back full of giant cysts. Even brief outro \u2018OutRot\u2019 pukes up further demented hammering. It\u2019s all here if you get your kicks from rotten death metal that\u2019s sure to bring the dead back to life.<\/p>\n
