# Gorerotted

**Gorerotted** is a deathgrind band, from United Kingdom, active 1997 to 2008.

Gorerotted are an English deathgrind band formed in 1997 that disbanded in January 2008 and reformed with new members as The Rotted until 2014 before announcing a reunion under their original name in 2026. Gorerotted's lyrics and song titles are largely inspired by horror films, VHS Video Nasty films and serial killers. The band's song titles often incorporate 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 similar introductory drumbeat to the sitcom's theme music. Following this theme the song 'Carrion Smelling' is also a pun on the classic British Carry On (franchise) films.
