From the underground depths of Trier, ROTTEN SOIL unleash a savage tribute to the glory days of death metal – filthy, furious, and forged in the spirit of the early ’90s Swedish scene. Since their formation in 2020, the band has been on a relentless mission: no trends, no compromises – just pure, chainsaw-driven brutality. The band’s lineup features Kring (vocal & drums on the album), Svenom (guitars), S.K. (bass), and Sepp (drums), forming a unit that delivers both raw intensity in the studio and crushing power on stage.

In 2022, the German band released well received by listeners and media, debut album titled “From Beyond the Grave“. Now, ROTTEN SOIL return with new studio albim “I Worship Death” which is an eleven-track onslaught of relentless riffs, thunderous drums, and venomous vocals. Written and recorded by the band themselves, the album embodies uncompromising death metal at its core, including a crushing Dismember cover of “Casket Garden.” 

Music for the newest record was mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström at the legendary Studio Fredman (At The Gates, Dimmu Borgir, In Flames) in Sweden. Band logo was done by Christophe Szpajdel (Emperor, Moonspell, Graveland (PL)), while the striking cover artwork was created by Adrián Ribes. Album was released in digital format (smart link), CD and limited vinyl on February 27, 2026, and is available for purchase at Bandcamp (link here).

Band comments their new album: “I Worship Death delivers a sound that hits like a sledgehammer – classic in spirit, lethal in execution. No gimmicks. No mercy. No escape.
Rotten Soil is death metal—pure and uncompromising“.
