Ben McCrow

History

Ben McCrow (born 1981 in London, UK) is the vocalist of British extreme metal act The Rotted.

He started his musical career in 1999 as front man of the band’s previous incarnation, Gorerotted and appears on every album released by the band. After the ousting of original vocalist Nutty Strangeways (who appeared on the band's now infamous demo Her Gash I Did Slash), McCrow was drafted in one week before Gorerotted were set to tour Holland, their first shows outside of the UK. In keeping with the band members’ tongue-in-cheek pseudonyms, McCrow was nicknamed ‘Babysliced’, (a pun taken from Baby Spice of The Spice Girls) due to his young age. Other aliases adopted by McCrow have included ‘Goreskin’ and ‘Ben Rotted.’ On the first two Gorerotted albums, McCrow was joined by co-vocalist Mr. Gore, whose cockney accented yelp complimented McCrow’s deep growls. He served with the band throughout their musical history and along with guitarist and founding member Tim “Fluffy” Carley remains the only member of the band now serving in The Rotted.
