Legendary death metallers DYING FETUS have unveiled a brand new song, “Fate of the Condemned”, from their long-awaited new album War of Attrition exclusively via the band’s official website: http://www.DyingFetus.com.

DYING FETUS (John Gallagher – Guitars / Vocals, Mike Kimball – Guitar, Sean Beasley – Bass, and Duane Timlin – drums) recorded War of Attrition at Hit & Run Studios in Rockville, MD with longtime engineer Steve Carr. The album’s artwork, designed by Orion Landau, can be previewed at this location:

War of Attrition is set for a March 6 (March 9/12 internationally) release date and is available for pre-order now.

I downloaded it, I think it's pretty good. The cover art is pretty cool too!

we have a review for it up:

That's a brutal review.

well put

haha, that is a pretty brutal review. i guess when a band has been around for so long and doesn't make too many efforts to change their sound on a grand scale (which isn't a bad thing in some cases), it can lead to reviews and general opinions like that. i think it's a good album, but i do agree on the song titles. they're pretty cliche and unimaginative, but coming from a band that has always had song titles like that for the most part, it's no surprise. if you also forget that "destroy the opposition" ever came out, this album is automatically 5x better. i personally believe it's a few steps up from "stop at nothing" as well.

as far as the artwork goes, i'm glad that orion landau took care of it. he's one of my favorite graphic designers (and i usually don't give graphic designers much attention to begin with overall). he's able to take a few simple elements and create a strong composition without making it look like 5 other pieces. the fact that he was able to use a skull in a manner that no one else has done is amazing itself, considering how overused skulls are these days.

snob

yeah i Dl-ed this too, it rules! I like it much more than Stop at Nothing. I'm gonna buy it when it comes out.

Dying Fetus has always been a sleeper.
Doesn't mean its totally bad but, yeah they ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Answer me this. Do they always have to put those shitty XyouthcrewX pit riffs in every song?

i always thought the appeal of dying fetus is that they mix it up with hardcore parts.

Troll said:

haha, i wouldn't call them youth crew pit riffs at all, but it's been a part of their style for a long time. they started out when new york hardcore and death metal were pretty tight together, so that will explain it. i can definitely see why people think they're boring, but they're one of those bands that you either like or don't like; there usually isn't an in between.

if Fetus cut out the mosh parts I would be pissed.

ditto

dying fetus has breakdowns down to a science

meh. they really need Netherton and Talley in the band to hold my interest. the production is very uninteresting and sterile. is there even a bassist playing in there? there's no low-end at all. just seems like they're not attempting to make any progression stylistically. very formulaic tune. maybe the others are better.

still one of the best live bands i've ever seen though. and i still love "Killing on Adrenaline" and "Destroy the Opposition".

Downloaded the album. I like it. It is stronger than Stop At Nothing. I will probably end up buying the CD when it comes out anyway.

i think the cover art is pretty cool too
