Knelt Rote is a brutal grind band from Portland, Oregon. Definitely one of the loudest, most uncompromising bands I’ve ever seen live. Thousandswilldie played with them a couple times in late 2008 and I didn’t fully appreciate these guys until hearing their live-recorded tour cassette (anyone who was at the 2009 Houston Noisefest in Texas probably knows of this tape). To briefly describe Knelte Rote’s sound, imagine Rotten Sound and Exhumed with shorter songs and power electronics. The entire time I watched them live, it felt like my head was under water. Great stuff. The 2009 tour cassette is out of print, but they do have a CDs and LPs available. Another thing I respect about these guys is they do not rely on social networking sites.
