Dying Fetus are one of the true legacy acts in the Relapse stable still slamming out brutal death metal with no impulses towards making it more palatable for squares, obviously. It just isn’t what they do. They are too busy “Reveling In The Abyss” of pure evil.
A mini-doc was recently filmed at MilkBoy Studios in Philadelphia, PA in 2017 upon the release of Wrong One To Fuck With, the band chronicled the re-recording of their classic track “One Shot, One Kill” with Swedish Producer/Engineer Mattias Nillson. The video, featuring interviews, a new “One Shot, One Kill” performance, and behind-the-scenes footage, can be seen below. It is pretty damn cool and insightful for fans.
Regarding the re-recording of “One Shot, One Kill”; Bassist/Vocalist Sean Beasley comments: “I’m excited to hear and put my vocals on there and hear Trey belt it out. It was our first video song basically, we recorded it at the old Masquerade in Atlanta. Mike [Kimball] was our old guitarist, he was new in the band then and it was different where we didn’t use straight up raw amps for the first time. We used a racked mount mix and it was a new thing for us at the time.”

I was introduced to Dying Fetus through “Homicidal Retribution,” a track off the band’s 2007 release War of Attrition. By the time the line “You are fucking worthless, I don’t give a fuck about you!!” was growled out, I knew I was a fan. Now, ten years later the band returns again with their 8th studio album, which promises to smash faces and beat in skulls.
Ahead of the album’s impending release on June 23 via Relapse Records, I had the chance to talk with Dying Fetus drummer Trey Williams about Wrong One To Fuck With.
Pre Orders are live for Dying Fetus‘ new album Wrong One To Fuck With, out June 23rd. In addition the band has released a video for “Fixated On Devastation”, which you can check out now.
With five of their full length life wreckers back on vinyl for the first time since the original pressings (we suggest you start with the still unconditionally pit worthy Stop At Nothing ), it seemed a good time to give Dying Fetus the band spotlight. The death metal legacy of this group has withstood many tests and only come through stronger. Catch them on tour with Hatebreed in Europe this April if you are both lucky and brave.
Also if you haven’t heard smash yet, MetalSucks is still streaming it.
Starting next month Fallujah will embark on The Summer Slaughter Tour with the likes of Morbid Angel, Dying Fetus, The Faceless, Thy Art Is Murder, Origin, Goatwhore, Decrepit Birth and Within The Ruins.

Summer Slaughter is bringing back the heavy in 2014.
Summer Slaughter was arguably the heaviest national tour that tears across North America until the Decibel Magazine Tour started last year.
And in a year when Mayhem Festival is bringing Cannibal Corpse and Warped Tour is bringing Born of Osiris and Chelsea Grin Ash Avildsen and co. seemed to have stepped up their game.
With bands like death metal stalwarts Morbid Angel, the brutal Dying Fetus and the relentless Goatwhore, Summer Slaughter is prepared to thrash and pillage this summer.
Check out the full line-up as well as comments from Morbid Angel’s David Vincent here.
To get stoked for the tour, check out a full album stream including bonus tracks at Exhumed’s Bandcamp page, a track-by-track look at Necrocracy via Guitarworld, the video for the track “Coins Upon The Eyes” as well as tour dates here.

The Relapse Records family had a tragic loss this past Monday as one of their own, Pat Egan, Director of Retail Sales, lost a battle against pneumonia.
To honor him, Relapse has released a twenty-track downloadable sampler available for just five bucks. All proceeds will go to the college fund of his daughter Katie.
The label also said the following about a tribute event:
“A memorial event for Pat has been scheduled for Tuesday March 5th from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST at Idle Hands Bar in New York, NY. Everyone is invited to attend as we pay tribute to a dear friend, colleague & family man who left behind an amazing wife and a wonderful daughter.

Maryland’s most lovable death metal trio Dying Fetus have released a particularly brutal music video for the song “Second Skin.” It comes from their most recent Relapse Records release Reign Supreme. The video is streaming via Bloody-Disgusting.com and tells the story of the mental and physical collapse of a child molester/murderer.
To check the video out for yourself click right here. Just be warned, it is not for the faint of heart.
Dying Fetus will be going on tour with Hatebreed, Shadows Fall and The Contortionist later on in January as part of “The Divinity of Purpose Tour.” Unfortunately they’re not stopping anywhere near me. For dates and venues click here.

With Cattle Decapitation dropping off the “Autumn Apocalypse Tour” due to recent issues with Six Feet Under, it comes as no surprise that they have formed their own mini tour of the Northeast in really no time at all. They are calling it the “By the Fans, For the Fans” tour and you can click here for dates.
Cattle’s dates still stand for “The Blood of Power Tour” with Dying Fetus which kicks off two days after the Northeast tour ends. You can click here to find dates for that tour.

Escuela Grind is one of the most intense AND fun bands out right now in the extreme metal scene. Anyone who has seen the outfit live knows they put on a careening and death-defying show, blending elements of many of the heaviest sub genres into a world changing charge. It has been awesome discovering truly fired up and creative acts such as them, Habak or Hostilities this year, giving me hope for the next generation of ass kickers. When I heard Indoctrination I was hooked and feel blessed Escuela Grind were one of the first bands I caught live when shows revved up again. Long may they reign.
