LEFT TO ROT is set to make an explosive return with their new EP, Breath of the Tomb, due out October 6th. The five-track project is both brutal and punishing, with scathing lyrics underscored by a jarring wall of sound. In 2021, the band released a demo EP. The debut served as a powerful expulsion of chaotic energy, introducing the world to the raw, frenzied sound of LEFT TO ROT. On the death metal trio’s sophomore effort, they build upon that foundation and set out to bring their core philosophy to life.

“We wanna make music that people can feel,” the group says of the EP. “They will hopefully translate that into headbanging, moshing, or starting their own band.” The band has already dropped the first single from the project, titled "Already Dead". Fans can experience more of the chaotic energy that defines LEFT TO ROT when the Breath of the Tomb EP is released this fall.

About LEFT TO ROT:

LEFT TO ROT is an Austin, Texas-based death metal band founded in 2021. Started by vocalist Jason Dahlke and drummer Justin Olejnik, the project was begun as a means to push musical boundaries. Inspired by the likes of GRAVE, ENTOMBED, BLOODBATH, and DEATH, the founding members sought a way to bring more groove and structural sensibility to modern death metal. However, in order to do any of that, Dahlke and Olejnik first needed a bassist. Soon after, they found their perfect match in bassist Aryan Nawim.

In June 2021, LEFT TO ROT released their first recorded material in the form of a four-song demo EP. With track names such as the self-titled “Left to Rot” and the bleak “Forced to Exist,” the band quickly set a precedent for the profoundly dark material they would create. Then, in April 2022, the trio followed up their debut EP with a single, titled “Requiem”. The track served as a grim reminder of the fallacies of man and the ways in which they will be our undoing.

Now, LEFT TO ROT trudges further into the dark recesses of the human condition as they prepare to release their sophomore EP, Breath of the Tomb.
