ROTTENNESS is a brutal death metal band hailing from Merida, Mexico and the midwestern United States. Guitarist Jaleel Castillo founded the band in the late 90’s and immediately hit the road touring Mexico, the United States, Europe and South America—playing hundreds of shows in dozens of countries, including festival performances at Obscene Extreme, Meh Suff, Bogota Deathfest, and Maryland Deathfest, alongside tours with MALIGNANCY, FUCK THE FACTS, CEPHALIC CARNAGE and many more. Currently ROTTENNESS has signed with SELFMADEGOD RECORDS (Poland) and released their newest LP, ‘Violentopia’ (2022), featuring a whole new 5-piece lineup alongside guest performances by members of Cephalic Carnage, Pig Destroyer, Unidad Trauma and Abysmal Dawn,  mixed by Rob Caldwell (Cannibal Corpse, Municipal Waste, Devourment) and Davide Billia (Hour of Penance/Anthropofagus). 

ROTTENNESS aims to continue touring and performing as much as possible, bringing their professionally underground, Mexican-American style of brutal death metal to as many cities and countries as possible.
