Background notes
Archive material and source history
Roots of Rot formed in the mid-1990s with Tymon Kruidenier on vocals and guitar, Erik Fleuren on bass, and Martijn Hendriks on drums. They came from the underground metal scene and put out their debut album 'As You Decay' in 1999. That record got some attention in extreme metal circles for its heavy sound.
Their music has guttural vocals and lyrics about decay and mortality, with songs like 'Cain' and 'Hellcity Fall' showing that approach. The band went through lineup changes in the early 2000s when Fleuren and Hendriks left, replaced by Bart Van Lier and Dennis Hartog. They've faced some criticism over their graphic content, but kept making music in that vein.
