Rottengraffty formed as a five-piece rock band with two vocalists in 1999. The mini-album Radical Peace × Radical Genocide was released on Bellwood, a sub label of King Records in 2001. After releasing Ekisapiko in 2005, Rottengraffty left King Records. In 2006, they released the single "Mandāra" on Inferno Records, a sub label of Universal created by J.[3]
In 2010, the band switched from writing their name in katakana, to writing it in English.[4] The album This World was released by Pine Fields Recordings that year. After signing to Victor Entertainment's Getting Better Records, Rottengraffty released the mini-album Life is Beautiful on October 7, 2015.[5] It reached number 6 on the Oricon Albums Chart. However, it was announced on December 29 that distribution of the mini-album would be discontinued due to issues with the rights to its songs.[6]
Their 2017 single, "70cm Shiho no Madobe", was used as the 10th ending theme song for the Dragon Ball Super anime.[7] On September 9, 2020, it was announced that guitarist and programmer Kazuomi would be refraining from live performances due to poor health.[8] On March 15, 2022, the band announced he was stepping away from live performances permanently and will work as their "sound producer".[9]
