Be prepared to have your face melted when brutal death metal icons Dying Fetus pulverise Australian and New Zealand venues this December,

The band behind albums such as Killing on Adrenalin, Descend Into Depravity and Make Them Beg for Death are touring alongside fellow countrymen and death metal purveyors 200 Stab Wounds.

The tour marks Dying Fetus’ first Australian jaunt in 12 years and just their second tour of New Zealand, with the first coming way back in 2009.

Fans can expect head-exploding sets from both bands when they touchdown in December, with the tour kicking off with three chaotic gigs in New Zealand at Glatatos in Auckland on Friday 5 December, Loons in Christchurch on Saturday 6 December and San Fran in Wellington on Sunday 7 December.

Dying Fetus and 200 Stab Wounds then cross the Tasman and hit Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory on Tuesday 9 December, Hobart’s Altar Bar on Thursday 11 December, Melbourne’s The Croxton on Friday 12 December and Sydney’s Factory Theatre on Saturday 13 December, finishing up with a concert at Brisbane’s The Triffid on Sunday 14 December.

Tickets for all shows go on sale Thursday 7 August at 9am AEST via swdpresents.com.

For nearly 35 years, Dying Fetus have been offending parents with their head-splitting metal riffs, merging death metal with grindcore to create a unique and legacy-defining sound.

The band have released nine albums, the most recent being the well-received 2023 long player Make Them Beg for Death, and gone through multiple lineup changes over the years, with the current trio comprising sole original member John Gallagher (guitars, vocals) alongside Sean Beasley (bass) and Trey Williams (drums (2007).

Promising a “tour of brutality”, this is one tour heavy metal heads won’t want to miss!
