American death metal band, JUNGLE ROT, have unleashed a new music video for the track “Send Forth Oblivion.” The track leads off what many critics feel is their strongest album to date, simply entitled Jungle Rot, which is now in stores and available everywhere today, July 20.

A sequel to their previous blood-shedding video, The Unstoppable, the band’s latest cinematic work of art transports us to the midst of an intense battle, with the Wisconsin trio exhausted, lacking supplies, and one man down. While they are trapped and fighting for survival in an isolated bunker, we learn of their brainwashing by those in power.
“The experiments they did prevented them from eliminating us,” explains guitarist Geoff Bub. “Operation Oblivion could be their own demise!” Meanwhile, lyrically, the song “expresses what these surviving soldiers are thinking as they ponder what’s become of humanity,” vocalist and guitarist Dave Matrise adds. “Greed and power has brought the downfall of society. Is there any hope?”
“Dave wanted to take a different approach for this video,” explains director Dustin Smith. “Specifically telling us, ‘I don’t want a single shot of us performing, just a full-blown action movie featuring Jungle Rot.’ This was the tenth music video I’ve been involved with for Jungle Rot, so it had to be something special. All of the credit goes to editor Brian Raida, the ass-kicking crew and to the band for going above and beyond during production.”
Shots’ firing overhead, out of breath, thankful to be alive, an exhausted, courageous soldier takes cover in a nearby trench. Overcome with tragedy, the cadet looks down to carefully remove his worn down combat boots to discover his feet numb and blue, knocking him back with an overwhelming smell of decay and gangrene. This phenomenon is known as “jungle rot”. With a little imagination, visualize this horrifyingly grotesque predicament as it would be in heavy metal form – teeming with despair, brutality, darkness and volatility. The sinister picture you have just painted comes to life in four-piece death metal act JUNGLE ROT, who has been triumphantly destroying the metal scene since 1994.
