In this episode of An Old School Album Review we're discussing the Casper Wyoming band ROT.

We spoke with the band prior to this review here's what they had to say:

Tunings?

Standard tuning. 

Bands you have played with?

Animosity,Cremation, Desecrator, Rhoar.

Accomplishments?

 3 full albums and 1 Ep. Played east coast to west coast. Recorded on both coasts. 

Describe to us the music scene in Casper in the 80's.

Not much of a metal scent in the 80s. We were more of a 90’s mainstream. There was a small scene. We mostly played in neighboring states like Colorado, Montana, South Dakota. 

Goals?

The goal is to keep writing kickass music.

Let's get to the review:

Good riff selection to build this song up to the signature Groove...

BOTTOM LINE:

ROT is actually a legendary band here in Casper. Wade Kindel has kept that memory alive with new music. 

I don't see that stopping any time soon.

Basically, all self-made, Wade, and Paul E. Wogg (Paul Haigh) are still creating music that our community can be proud of!!!
