JUNGLE ROT Frontman Reveals He No Longer Listens To Metal In New Interview

We had the pleasure of interviewing Jungle Rot frontman Dave Matrise on Mayhem Fest. Note this interview was conducted before Kerry King's controversial statements were revealed and before Dave offered a rebuttal. In fact, Dave was very complimentary of Slayer in our interview. The most interesting part of the interview came when asked how he keeps his material new and fresh, Dave responds:

Some people might think this is weird but I quit listening to music about six years ago. I really did! From touring so much, and seeing bands so much when you're touring… it's just too much. When I'm at home, I just can't be listening to it 24/7 like I was 10, 15 years ago. I think by not listening to music it constantly keeps me fresh because I'm not trying to one up what's out today, what the flavor of the month is today. I just do my own thing and it's what we do best.

The new Jungle Rot record Order Shall Prevail is out now!
