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.

Check out the full interview here.

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.

 Maryland death metal stalwarts Dying Fetus have announced a fall headlining tour with support from Exhumed, Devourment, Waking the Cadaver, Abiotic and Rivers of Nihil.

Additionally Dying Fetus have announced they are re-signing to Relapse Records.

Check out the tour dates, including European and Canadian 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 sampler features heavy acts such as Kingdom of Sorrow, Mastodon and Brutal Truth. You can check out the tracklisting here and get your own copy here.

The label also said the following about a tribute event:

“A memorial event for Pat has been scheduled for Tuesday March 5^th 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. All proceeds from the event will go directly to his daughter Katie’s college fund.
