Biography
Requiem of Torment (or R.O.T) were a mathcore band from Stoke-on-Trent, England that existed from 2017 to 2018. They were inspired by the likes of Gaza and Cult Leader.
They had a small run of local gigs and released one EP, one LP, and a live album.

Their run was cut short due to the guitarist (FKA Jessie Seaton), the synth player (Cai Brown), and the drummer (Dave Basnett) kicking out their vocalist (Callum Cooper) who was at odds with the band due to his right-wing politics and anti-trans rhetoric that went against the bands core values. The band received backlash from the scene they were in for removing this vocalist and thus disbanded (however later down the line Callum was caught in an act of self-admission of pedophilia.)
The last single released featured a friend of the guitarist, Rosemary Maclean, on vocals - and the band felt it a fitting end to the project.
