Dying Fetus are an American death metal band, hailing from Upper Marlboro, Maryland. They were formed in 1991. They have a long association with Relapse Records.
With a name like Dying Fetus, it probably goes without saying that anybody who likes to while away their spare time watching videos of cute kittens on YouTube is best advised to steer well clear. You’ll certainly struggle to find anything in the vein of ‘Walkin’ on Sunshine’ in their back catalogue, but what you might uncover - assuming you’re that way inclined - is a slew of some of the most impressive technical death metal records of the past couple of decades. The Maryland trio - comprised currently of John Gallagher, the only remaining founding member, on guitar and vocals, Sean Beasley on bass and vocals and Trey Williams behind the kit - are among the pioneers of this particularly complex offshoot of the death metal genre.
Their records, which include the likes of 2007’s ‘War of Attrition’, 2009’s ‘Descend into Depravity’ and 2012’s ‘Reign Supreme’, are characterized by intense, furious guitar work, Gallagher’s hellish vocal delivery, and unerringly sophisticated percussive work. The former two of those records introduced a move, in the group’s sound, towards groove-based metal, but with ‘Reign Supreme’, they made the decision to return to their roots - much to the delight of their international fanbase, which they regularly perform in front of - the band are regular fixtures on both the U.S. and UK touring circuits.
Read moreDying Fetus is quite evidently from the name, a death metal band from America. The group formed in 1991, when it was put together by guitar player/ vocalist, John Gallagher and their bass player, Jason Netherton. In 1996 they released their first album called 'Purification through Violence', again a very death metal sounding title. The group gained a lot of attention throughout their time playing gigs, collecting a lot of loyal death metal fans along the way, it also helped that Morbid Records gave them a lot of promotion in the death metal underground. Due to their growing success they went on their first US tour, which gained them the name - the 'Underground Terrorism' tour. The band struggled with seeing a few members leave the group for personal reasons and had to go about recruiting new members during their career, which could be fatal for a band, but it didn't seem to affect them as they went on to release their fourth album and started another tour. If you're a big metal fan then this group is probably right up your street. Although some of the death metal bands I have seen live have been head banging like there's no tomorrow, diving around the stage like they're in a fight with a huge crowd of invisible people and screaming their lungs out. A performance I saw that they did in 2013 saw them stand still for the majority of the performance, and when they did bound around the stage it wasn't with as much enthusiasm as I would have expected. I've never really understood this music scene because it's nearly impossible to understand what they are saying, but when you're in an audience watching this kind of gig, the need to dive around like a mad man is almost infectious. You can tell they are good at what they do, probably not a band for everyone but worth checking out.
I guess the band name Dying Fetus is not particularly cheery but then neither is the music that this Maryland death metal band creates. With over twenty years of experience on the circuit and although the lineups have changed often, John Gallagher remains the consistent and driving creative force of this outfit. At times in their career the constant changing in band members really effected the live performance as the musicians onstage had no chemistry or connection and the whole thing felt disjointed yet they are playing back on form in recent years led by the powerhouse that is Gallagher.
The new albums have been received well by the old fans and have won them new fans too so the shows become packed out and intensify the already charged atmosphere. It is no gig for bystanders as the trio of musicians expect the whole room to become involved in moshing, jumping and head banging for extreme versions of 'One Shot, One Kill' and the controversial 'Intentional Manslaughter'. They sign off tonight's show in salute to the energetic audience with a chilling performance of 'Your Treachery Will Die With You' complete with thrashed out instrumentals.
I had been waiting for a long time for this show. I mainly went to see one of the openers, Gatecreeper. They are from AZ and have that swedish death metal buzzsaw guitar tone. One of the better death metal bands I've heard in a very long time.
Genocide Pact was good, Incantation was great and I wasn't super familiar with Dying Fetus, even though I am an old school death metal guy. I just never listened to them. They were good as well.
Would very much recommend seeing GATECREEPER!
Dying Fetus kicked total butt – crushing grooves, frenzied basslines, garbage disposal vocals and drums like an absolute machine. How do they not get tendinitis?! They're an awesome melting pot of death metal bliss, and great to die in the pit when the slam riffs hit.
Spite was brewtal as well – the hardcore anger and energy really rounds out their deathcore-y sound, and their guitar tones are awesome. Also their singer, man...
All the bands before White Chapel including Dying Fetus were not getting the full spectrum of the audio and lighting quality of the venue. White Chapel was twice as loud and sounded way cleaner then all the other bands. How about Next time ALL the bands get the full audio and visual quality that White Chapel did. Dying Fetus would have blown the doors off that place with the system that White Chapel got
This is a rant about Hardcore fans and their pit antics. Went to see DF at Metro in SLC and before DF could even take the stage, there was a fight in the crowd and I ended up babysitting guy with a busted nose, instead. St00pid windmills and crowdkill flying kicks. There's rules in the pit, and these guys are just clowns. Glad there wasn't this shit during the Cattle concert but damn, way to ruin shows
All 3 bands played a great show, despite the high temperatures at the venue. Dying Fetus was a blast and also the other two bands playing on the punk-trash-metal side of life.
Was a great evening, for sure I'll go back to the Kiff in Aarau but maybe I'll wait till it gets cooler outside! Great show! Thanks a lot to:

See you next time!!!
Perfection at its finest! I love the new songs, they mix perfect with the old ones. They played a nice mix of new and old ones. Great concert! The other bands where great too, a good line up \m/
Sadly the drum was a bit too loud, especially the kick which made it hard to hear the guitar and bass.
The most mind blowing, crushing, heavy experience you can have in your lifetime. Best band ever. I have no idea how three people can be such absolute gods at their instruments but they manage to pull it off and they sound amazing. You have to experience this band live before you die. #fetusforever
Great show! Loved the performances by all bands with a minor downside for Carnifex since they're really not my thing. I've tried but they have one too many breakdowns for my taste. :-)
Goatwhore smashed it! Toxic Holocaust were like the spawn of Lemmy and Dying Fetus ripped!
