Biography

Gorerotted was a British death metal band formed in 1997 which split up in January 2008 and reformed with new members as The Rotted. Gorerotted’s lyrics and song titles were largely inspired by horror films and serial killers. The band’s song titles often incorporated humorous rhymes or puns such as “Cut, Gut, Beaten, Eaten”, “Put Your Bits In A Concrete Mix”, and “Only Tools and Corpses”, a pun on the popular British sitcom, Only Fools and Horses, the latter beginning with a suspiciously similar introductory drumbeat to the sitcom’s theme music.
