Dying Fetus Reign Supreme Album Out Tomorrow-Streaming Link, Contest & Tour Dates


DYING FETUS' new album Reign Supreme will receive its long awaited release tomorrow June 19th via Relapse Records. Today Metal Sucks is hosting an exclusive full album stream of Reign Supreme. Check out the entire record HERE  and be sure to order your copy HERE.


Reign Supreme should find its place in any avid fan of technical/brutal death metal fan's collection

The originators of deathcore are clearly here to stay.

ChiIL Live Shows was set to do a video interview with Dying Fetus, when they played Reggies' in Chicago last week, but a 9 year with the stomach flu put a wrench in the works at the final hour.   Things were pretty sick around here, and not in the good way.....We'll make it up to you next time you swing through Chi-Town.   We do have a sweet video interview and live show shots with their openers, Revocation, from their Ultra Lounge & Bottom Lounge gigs a few months back.

Reign Supreme features nine tracks and is a "return to roots" with production focused slightly more on slam than in the band's last few works.  Thematically, the album is set to be a good old-fashioned piece of social and political commentary in the style of DYING FETUS as we have come to know.

The band recently completed work on a video for the song "From Womb to Waste". The video features 12 camera angles from a recent live show at Maryland Deathfest held at Sonar in Baltimore, MD. The video was filmed and directed by Scott Hansen (Animals as Leaders, A Day to Remember).   Check it out.




Alternative Press Magazine is hosting an exclusive giveaway of a DYING FETUS ESP LTD guitar. The grand prize also includes a deluxe copy of Reign Supreme and a DYING FETUS t-shirt. Two additional winners will be chosen to receive a copy of Reign Supreme. To enter the contest, visit the giveaway page HERE.

DYING FETUS are currently on tour supporting Reign Supreme. Currently they are taking part in the "18 Nights of Blood Tour" with label mates REVOCATION and Six Feet Under. Immediately following those tour dates the band will head to back to Europe for a headlining run as well as additional festival dates including the "With Full Force" festival in Roitzschjora, Germany, "Sevilla Rock Festival" in Sevilla, Spain and the "Getaway Rock Fest" in Gävle, Sweden.

In More DYING FETUS tour news the band has just confirmed the dates for "The Womb to Waste" headlining European tour. The tour will kick off September 14th in Lindau, Germany and runs through October 14th in Aarschot, Belgium. Support on the tour will come from label mates REVOCATION, Job For a Cowboy and Cerebral Bore. A complete list of dates can be found below.

Xoe Wise-Archive of Illusions Out Tomorrow



Xoe Wise-Archive of Illusions

Xoe means life in Greek (whether they called themselves Greeks or not), and with a last name like wise, Chicago singer-songwriter Xoe Wise has a lot to live up to.   Her sophomore album,
Archive of Illusions
, does not disappoint.   The album will be officially released tomorrow, May 1.   You can check out her insightful lyrics here.

We're pretty enamored with her poetic word play and imagery.   The depth and intensity of her lyrics and her sweet, evocative vocals belie her age.   Check out the following excerpts: 


All You Gave

Written by: Xoe Wise
Album: Archive Of Illusions


You know it’s bad
When you have to go to sleep
Just to feel safe inside a dream
Oh you know it’s hard
Letting someone in
I could say it twice
And again
All you gave to me was love


Flowers on the stand
Coffee by the bed
You didn’t understand
When I turned my head
Oh I apologize for timing
I shouldn’t have held your hand
Until mine were clean
All you gave to me was love

Glow in the Dark

Written by: Xoe Wise
Album: Archive Of Illusions


I met you
Corner of Asbury Avenue
Middle of May
Sky the deepest blue
Do you believe in weather changing our mold?
My palm shape of yours, left side walking me home
Do you know that your heart glows in the dark
Do you know that your heart glows in the dark
I'm watching your lips move and talk of inferior love
Perfection philosophy and love has to grow to stay
Greeks never called themselves Greeks anyway
When did it become cool to think of the alphabet as an acronym list
If so my fingertips are standing for all of yours
Do you know that your heart glows in the dark
Do you know that your heart glows in the dark 

Your Love
Written by: Xoe Wise
Album: Archive Of Illusion


We might be staying here too long
Singing the same song
Green eyes are bringing me to the edge
Bring me to the edge
And they're so open to my ways
On a Tuesday
How you heard I had a bad day
And drove from 3121 Clyde place just to say
Your love your love your love your love oh
Ill take Ill take Ill take my time so
Your love you love your love your love oh
Your love will follow me
And I want to be the melody that’s in your soul
The one that drifts in and falls asleep
Only to wake at your heart beating
And I want to be the daydream inside your head
How we danced and all the words we said
So easily
And if somehow oh if somehow oh if somehow
You lose your words
Ill help you find your way because
Your love your love your love your love oh
Ill take Ill take Ill take my time so
Your love you love your love your love oh
Your love will follow me
La la la la 

Xoe Wise has toured nationally with fellow Chicagoan Matt Ryd and has
opened for Greg Laswell, John Legend, Colbie Caillat and Lisa Loeb.
Check in with ChiIL Live Shows like we vote in Chi, IL...early and often.   We'll have details on her summer record release party, as soon as they're available.

Xoe's local TV debut on WGN is slated for Friday, May 25.

Here's Xoe's bio (from Martyr's band descriptions)

Xoe Wise

Picking up the guitar at five years old, Xoe and her younger sister wrote their first song for their sick baby goat.
From a small town on the ocean in NC to a brief period in Michigan she
continued to pursue music and now is based in Chicago, IL.

She entered the Chicago music scene in 2009 collaborating with Ethan
Stoller. Stoller has contributed music to the DVD featurettes and promo
materials of several major Hollywood films, including V for Vendetta
(film), Ninja Assassin, Sherlock Holmes and more.
 Xoe released her
first album Echo that October.

After growing in the Chicago music scene and simply growing up, her
music has taken on a dreamy folk tone drawing comparisons to a female
Bon Iver with her 6 piece band selling out shows in Chicago.
She
has been heard at venues from Hotel Cafe in CA to Hard Rock in
Nashville. She has been supporting acts with artists Lisa Loeb, Greg
Laswell, John Legend, and Colbie Caillat.


Microsoft scooped Xoe up when opening their IL store now helping sponsor her 25 stop US tour.  Xoe
continues to rise to the top MTV-ourstage.com charts winning pop
categories, and having been featured multiple times. Chicago Innerview
recognizes Xoe as "easily the singer/songwriter and pop counterpart to
Columbia native Chaz Bundick’s (a.k.a. Toro Y Moi) laconic chill-wave
synth ballads. Both share an evanescent “dreaminess,” as if washing in
the aquamarine surf of their native environs.


On Wise’s first album, Echo, simple guitar and keyboard arrangements back
up almost deliquescent vocals and lyrics tinged with starry-eyed
romanticism." While Chicago Redeye states "the song as something of a
spiritual accident."  Xoe Wise has played the Korean festival with 3000+
audience, as well as Oakland arena in MI for the Miracles for Life
benefit show alongside Rolling stone featured band Jamestown Revival.
