Jungle Rot Announce New Zealand Shows w/ NembutoliK

UPDATE: These shows have been postponed. New dates tbd.

Arising from Kenosha, Wisconsin's death metal underground in the early nineties, Jungle Rot are venturing down under in 2023 for an epic Australasian tour this April, including face-rippin' headline dates at Pōneke's Valhalla and Tāmaki Makaurau's The Mothership. Fronted by singer / guitarist Dave Matrise with James Genenz, Geoff Bub and Spenser Syphers, Jungle Rot's unrepentantly brutal, mega-heavy groove-driven oeuvre encompasses ten full length albums and an EP, including their new 2022 album Call to Arms via Unique Leader Records. They'll be joined for both Aotearoa gigs by special guests from Frankston, Australia NembutoliK, who unleashed their pummelling debut album All Along the Frankston Line in June and shared the stage last month in Melbourne with recent visitors Skeletal Remains. Grip the details and grab tickets before it's too late...

Press release:

Jungle Rot Australian/New Zealand Tour 2023 POSTPONED

Jungle Rot and Your Mate Bookings have decided to put the debut tour of Australia and New Zealand planned for April 2023 on hold for the moment.

The sheer volume of tours, saturation in the market, the costs of flights and lack of funds the community has to spend on such a tour are the ultimate reasons for this tour to be put on hold for the time being.

JUNGLE ROT will return at a later date – we all need to be clear on that.

The flights were booked, the logistics and artwork are in place including the incredible support bands selected to make this tour one to remember.

We will be refunding all tickets immediately so there is no need to contact us.

Nembutolik will be holding these dates and launching their own tour very soon.

We apologise we had to cancel this tour and we understand you were all excited; but the band deserves huge crowds and appropriate compensation for finally visiting Australia/New Zealand after 30 years and we are going to ensure this happens as soon as possible – stay tuned for another announcement soon in regards to this.
