Sweet.......2007-01-16

Yeah, I know, lack of a better title, but better than giving some Rolling Stone like title (you know, fruity).

This band rules, and this is the second catchiest death metal album (first still goes to Effigy Of The Forgotten). This band also is the only band that sounds like nothing else. Here's why:

1.Groove. Death metal has to have some of this, other wise, it sounds like complete _____. That's why I hate most metalcore. BEcause it's boring, uses the same damn beats. Most metalcore blows.
Some albums don't have as much, but all metal albums have to have at least a little bit. If it dosen't, it has a much harder time of being something that you can'enjoy for the actual music (okay, there are a few albums that got away with not alot and kick ___, like Obscura).

2.They have a really kick arse style. Grindcore mixed with regular death metal, and it dosen't sound like a Beck song.

3. Lyrics. Yeah, these guys have a name that most lame- half arsed Cannibal Corpse rip-offs, and they had two albums before this that used gore lyrics. But finally, they switched to political and social problems of America. Great to see that some bands aren't trying to make more gore lyrics. CC and others will handle that just fine. So if you want to try a metal band, focus on lyrics that take more thought, or haven't been used. Even if they are about death, you can't use different kinds of death themes (Nile)

That's the main thigns that made a difference to me. And it's awesome to headbang to. If you like death metal, than you should check it out. My only complaint are the vocals, they kind of aren't as good as Suffocation or Cryptopsy (Lord Worm rules).

Ferocious!!.......2007-01-15

I must say that Dying Fetus has to be one of my faves of the Death/Grind genre. Unfortunately, I was one of those people who found out about Dying Fetus when Stop at Nothing was released. Then shortly afterwards I worked my way backwards through their catalog and bought the amazing "Destroy the Opposition" then I purchased "Killing on Adrenaline" and so on. I would reccommend buying any of the older Dying Fetus CD's first before buying "Stop at Nothing" that one kinda sucked. Onto the review, John Gallagher is one of those vocalists who send goosebumps down your spine. The guttural vocals are almost inhuman and sound like they came out of the pits of hell. He is one amazing guitarist and the rest of the band are amazing musicians as well. I believe Chimaira asked for the talent of Kevin Talley to do the drums for the new Chimaira record in the absence of Andols Herrick. Jason Netherton went on to make Misery Index a full time thing after "Destroy the Opposition." But I'm pretty sure you already knew that. Those who do not like death metal are like "Those bands have no talent...blah blah blah" I just give them a big slap in the face and throw on some Dying Fetus, or some Skinless or Guttural Secrete or Deeds of Flesh and then they pretty much shut up. So if you are a fan of EXTREME METAL of the most punishing kind, pick up all of Dying Fetus' albums along with the aforementioned bands as well.

Decimation.......2006-08-27

If you are a fan of the genre then you will love this disc. It is a non stop Brutal Assault on your ears. Now since theses guy's have a habit of changing members on every album it should be interesting to see what the line up will be for 2007' If you want real true Brutal music the kind that you feel inside by this disc an unload on someone. Stay Brutal. HORNS UP!!!!!

When tech death and brutal death collide.......2006-08-07

This band is like Deicide and Death mixed together with a touch of grind. They are like Cryptopsy: they are brutal and technical at the same time. This CD has brawns and brains. John Gallagher's low death barks can suddenly change to high pitched screams, and his intelligent songwriting is accompanied by his complex riffs. Sparky Voyle's riffs and solos will blow you away. Jason Netherton's basslines aren't that audiable, but they make the songs darker, along with his background vocals. Kevin Talley's drumming is amazing. Songs like "Born in Sodom" and "For Us or Against Us" show off their style, while "Pissing in the Mainstream" shows off their grind influences with weird guitarwork. This is a great death metal band that pleases both styles.

An all-out assault.......2006-06-30

WOW! This album is the heaviest album I own and probably the heaviest I've ever heard. Blast beats never cease. Crushing riffs and mind-blowing drumming rank this album among the top modern death metal albums of all time. You can't say enough about the superb job John Gallager and Jason Netherton do at approaching the album with a dual-vocal style. Deep, almost indecipherable growls coupled with higher-pitched vocals (which are still deep anyway) make this album very intriguing to listen to. Any metalhead who doesn't own this album should be ashamed and go out and pick it up as soon as possible.
