DYING FETUS Joined By COLIN YOUNG From TWITCHING TONGUES For INTEGRITY Cover At FYA Fest 2024

Seasoned death metal vets DYING FETUS play for a worked up crowd at 2024 FYA Fest

DYING FETUS delivered a powerful performance at this year’s ‘FYA Fest,‘ where they occupied the second-to-last slot on Saturday, January 6th, just before headliners TRAPPED UNDER ICE. The event took place at the Bryan Glazer Family JCC in Tampa, FL, and the Maryland-based death metal outfit treated the audience to a set featuring eight songs, including two cover tracks.

Anticipating a fervent crowd of hardcore enthusiasts, the band curated a special set with notable additions. Alongside their rendition of “Bringing Back The Glory,” a cover of Maryland hardcore group NEXT STEP UP, DYING FETUS also resurrected their take on INTEGRITY‘s “Judgment Day.” That performance featured a guest appearance by Colin Young from TWITCHING TONGUES, among other projects.

Footage from this energetic set has been shared online which you can check out for yourself below.

DYING FETUS have been touring in support of their latest studio album “Make Them Beg For Death“, which arrived on September 8 of 2023.

Recorded in Baltimore with longtime producer Steve Wright and mixed by Mark Lewis (CANNIBAL CORPSE),“Make Them Beg For Death” contains every DYING FETUS hallmark. The veteran death metal band’s ninth album is fast, intense, and brimming with unstoppable grooves.

“Make Them Beg For Death” delivers savage beatdowns equally designed to pulverize and mesmerize. “It follows on from where ‘Wrong One To Fuck With’ left off,” drummer Trey Williams promises. “We don’t need to participate in the technical death metal arms race. We’ve got the big guns, and we’ve proven that. It’s all about pointing them in the right direction, so to speak.”

Monstrous riffs, blast beats, unstoppable hooks, and earth-moving grooves define their catalog. “We put our own twist on death metal,” explains co-vocalist/guitarist John Gallagher. “We were like most bands, starting in the garage, drinking beer, having a little fun on the weekend, finding the right amps through trial and error. We blended aspects of bands we liked — SUFFOCATION, OBITUARY, DEICIDE and CANNIBAL CORPSE, among others; the dual vocal approach of CARCASS — and made them our own. ‘Let’s make it moshy, let’s make it slammy.’”

To the men of DYING FETUS, the mission is straightforward.

“The philosophy is the same now as it was when the band started,” Gallagher confirms. “To write catchy riffs and to make it memorable. Whatever style of music you’re doing, make it something people want to hear repeatedly.”
