Artist Info

In 1995, DYING FETUS self-released, promoted and distributed their first album, ‘Infatuation With Malevolence.’ In support of the album, the band toured the Eastern U.S., including a high-profile performance at the CMJ Music Convention at New York’s Lincoln Center. DYING FETUS also represented death metal as a genre on a panel at the convention.

In 1996, DYING FETUS’ second album, Purification Through Violence, was released simultaneously in America on Pulverized Records and in Europe on Diehard Music Worldwide. The band immediately embarked on their first full North American tour, hitting 25 cities with Canada’s KATAKLYSM and Florida’s MONSTROSITY.

1998 saw the release of DYING FETUS’ third album, Killing on Adrenaline, on Germany’s Morbid Records and in the U.S. through the band’s own label, Blunt Force Records. DYING FETUS embarked on a 52-date North American/European tour, hitting 12 countries and performing at dozens of festivals, including co-headlining shows on the Morbid Metalfest and the Superbowl of Hardcore.

In 1999, DYING FETUS reissued the out-of-print ‘Infatuation with Malevolence’ CD (their 93–94 demo collection) with extra tracks via Blunt Force Records. The new version contained three live songs recorded on the 1998 European tour, as well as one demo track not included on the previous edition.

In early 2000, DYING FETUS signed to Relapse Records and toured the U.S. with DESTRUCTION and KATAKLYSM. The band re-issued their Grotesque Impalement EP before completing work on their first Relapse album, ‘Destroy The Opposition.’ The record was an immediate success and the band toured internationally in support of the album for the next 16 months. In 2012, the album received Decibel Magazine’s Hall of Fame honor.

After almost three years, DYING FETUS returned with Stop At Nothing in 2003 and completed numerous North American and European headlining tours as well as standout festival performances.

2007 saw the release of War of Attrition, followed by Descend Into Depravity in 2009, which led to numerous headlining tours, including the band’s first appearances in China and Southeast Asia.

On June 19, 2012, DYING FETUS released Reign Supreme. Long-term fans and critics praised the album; Heavymetal.about.com wrote that “Dying Fetus are at the top of their game with this record.” The band was booked to play the UK’s Download Festival largely via a fan campaign.

Now in 2017, DYING FETUS released their eighth studio album, Wrong One To Fuck With, their first new material in over five years. The record contains 10 tracks featuring complex arrangements, brutal breakdowns and varied vocal patterns, further cementing the band’s legacy after more than 25 years.
