Dying Fetus

Formed in Maryland in 1991, Dying Fetus have become cult grindcore legends, releasing a string of albums of unrelenting, twisting riffs and impossibly low growly death barks by main man John Gallagher. The band survived a mass exodus following the release of 2000's Destroy The Opposition, with the other three members of the band splitting from Gallagher to form Misery Index. Gallagher recruited a new lineup and, now a consistent streamlined trio since 2009, shows no sign of letting up.
