The Blood of Power Tour #Death Metal

ChiIL Live Shows--Dying Fetus LIVE at Reggies in Chicago 12/17/12

Reggie's was rockin for Death Metal Monday, when Dying Fetus came through Chi-town the 17th.   It was a cathartic, high energy show and the band did not disappoint.

DYING FETUS

Self-reliance and musical integrity are two principles which Dying Fetus have always lived by. The band formed in 1991, during the height of the death metal explosion of the early '90s, and have matured into one of the premiere extreme death metal/grind-core acts ever to come out of the massive global metal underground. The band is recognized worldwide as a prime example of songwriting perfection, combining an innovative mix of technical virtuosity and catchy song structures to create the ultimate blend of death metal, hardcore, and grindcore. Intensity unparalleled, and musical power unrivaled, they are the leaders of the new generation in extreme music. Their sounds and lyrics are a brutal response to the everyday stress and pressures of reality in our age, while also providing the ultimate escape from it. 

You know it's a sweet show when they hit the lights at the end and people are crawling from the pit bleeding and grinning.



The power of blood indeed...

Some next gen metal maniacs were there, takin' advantage of the all ages admission and early show time.



ChiIL Live Shows had a video interview set up with Dying Fetus drummer, Trey, but they bumped it up a half hour at the last minute so we had to scrap it, since we were already on a prior shoot.   





We still managed to shoot stills and we'll catch them for interviews the next time through town.   





They tour pretty ruthlessly and I'm sure they'll be back around in the near future.   The band ends this headlining tour the 23rd, then they're back out again in January opening for Hatebreed.   Click here for the lineup and tour dates.

On this edition, founding DYING FETUS guitarist John Gallagher stops by to talk about his band's beginnings, how the band name was picked, fun anecdotes about dealing with customs, scary moments on stage and the meaning behind their infamous classic, "Kill Your Mother, Rape Your Dog."

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.
