Gorerotted – East London’s second best 1990’s boyband are back from the dead!
They’ll be hitting Festivals across the UK, Europe and USA, and re-unleashing the classic albums ‘Only Tools and Corpses’ and ‘A New Dawn For The Dead’
Originally formed back in 1997, then mutating into The Rotted in 2008 before hanging up their chainsaws in 2014, UK Death/Grind act Gorerotted have announced a return with their catchy as fuck, chaotic style of Death Metal. After what seems like an eternity of being asked to make a comeback, the band finally said yes to Damnation Festival 2026 having played the first ever edition of the fest 21 years ago. “It feels like the right time to exhume Gorerotted from the grave, from the Dead to Damnation”
“For years when asked by various promoters and fans if we’d reform, we went from saying “no fucking chance” to “thanks, but highly unlikely” to “ah fuck it, go on then!” From the Damnation announcement came more and more offers from the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal, the USA and even more to be announced. So 2027 is gonna be fucking busy for us!”
Featuring OG members Fluffy, Goreskin and Junky Jon – the only band members to appear on all three albums – the lineup is completed by the band’s good friend and former The Rotted bandmate Reverend. Trudgill.
“Before even playing with us in The Rotted, the Reverend was always on the road with Gorerotted, either sharing the stage with his old band Screamin’ Daemon, or just to come along on tour to help out with driving, merch, and to generally join in on all the mischief we’d get up to. He was always the only man for the job, and it’s highly likely if he’d said no when we asked him that we wouldn’t have come back at all.”
