History & Biography
The band was formed in 1990 by former Mortuary singer/guitarist Paul Zavaleta and Jon Brody (ex-Mortaury) on drums. After recruiting bassist Jim Hoffmann (former Mortuary man as well) and second guitarist Will Kuberski, the quartet released a Rehearsal '91 and a demo '92. As such, the band was a continuation of Mortuary. Shows with Entombed and Obituary followed. The band signed with Afterworld Records and recorded a 7" EP entitled Ceremonies Of Blasphemy. The EP was never released. In stepped Spain's Drowned Productions and, now featuring bassist Chris Machado, an EP entitled Manifested Apparitions Of Unholy Spirits was recorded. A full-length was planned, but after Drowned's difficulty with its parent company and its eventual demise the plans were abandoned. Chris Machado left the fold and the band broke up.

Six years passed and the band returned in 2000. Will Kuberski soon left however; regardless the band signed to Drowned's successor Repulse Records and released an album called In Ancient Beliefs. Zavaleta played bass on this recording. After adding a second guitarist called Mike Greenfield in 2001, 2002 meant the band could play several shows (including Metal Meltdown) and recorded a Slayer cover of Read Between The Lies for a WWIII Records cover sampler. By the end of 2002 new bassist O.D. Lallo (of The Stony Branch Band) and Jon Brody had defected from the line-up and formed a band called LOMF described as, "Primus meets Slayer."

Deteriorot's comeback album The Faithless was out in June of 2010 through Xtreem Music, the successor to Repulse Records. The album was years in the making. The band now featured only one surviving member. The song In Ancient Beliefs was rerecorded here. Rob Solberg left in 2022. Xtreem issued The Rebirth in 2023 with a revamped line-up. Jake Atha was on guitar. Travis Meredith was on bass. James Goetz was on drums. The three new members were from Redivider. Deteriorot and Ascended Dead were to tour Europe in the summer. The band had a lyric video for the song A Nameless Grave. The band and Rotpit had a split single. Deteriorot released a 2024 music video for the track Reanimate. Singer Jake Atha was out in 2024. The band was booked to appear at Disemboweled God Fest 2025. Deteriorot would release its fourth full-length Awakening through Xtreem Music on 21.10.2025. Paul Zavaleta was the sole singer again.
