Dying Fetus have been ripping it up for almost 35 years, enthralling fans with their genre-defying death metal meets grindcore sound.
Their career includes nine stellar albums, with the most recent being the well-received 2023 long player Make Them Beg for Death, and multiple lineup changes, with the most recent incarnation of Dying Fetus featuring OG member and the band’s driving force, John Gallagher (guitars, vocals), alongside Sean Beasley (bass) and Trey Williams (drums (2007).
Considering how long it’s been between drinks for Dying Fetus, metalheads will want to get along to this night of mayhem and catch the technical death metal fiends in all their glory.
