Death metal vets Dying Fetus are returning with their new album, Make Them Beg for Death, on September 8th. Ahead of its release, the band has shared the NSFW video for lead single “Feast of Ashes.”
For over three decades, Dying Fetus have been pushing death metal to the extreme — brutal death metal, if you will. “Feast of Ashes” slots right in with the band’s storied discography, delivering a pulverizing onslaught of technical riffs, pinch harmonics, and precise rhythmic timing. The gurgled and growled vocals seep into whatever cracks are left behind in the song’s maximalist arrangement.
“It follows on from where Wrong One to Fuck With left off,” drummer Trey Williams said of the new album, which was produced by Steve Wright. “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.”
Speaking of Wrong One to Fuck With, Dying Fetus appear to have used their previous album’s title as the premise for the “Feast of Ashes” video. Not for the faint of heart, the Blvckbox Studios-directed clip depicts a violent revenge murder executed with glee. Viewer discretion is advised.
In support the album’s release, Dying Fetus are embarking on a Fall US headlining tour with a stacked support package including The Acacia Strain, Despised Icon, Creeping Death, and Tactosa. Those dates kick off October 17th in Cincinnati and run through November 18th in Baltimore.
