Album Description
Death metal powerhouse DYING FETUS return with their long-awaited new record War of Attrition. Masterminded by guitarist/vocalist John Gallagher and his hand picked kill-team, War of Attrition advances the band's devastating assault and destroys everything in its path. From the first song to the last, the patented 'Fetus combination of punishing slam riffs, frenzied guitar work, and utterly savage dual-vocal assault and overpowers the listener. War of Attrition reaches an altogether new and focused level of brutality for DYING FETUS, and expands and cements the legendary status of this renowned US metal institution.

Customer Reviews

A summary of all Dying Fetus releases...
Okay, so Dying Fetus will never be able to top-off Destroy The Opposition. But the radness of this record is more reminiscent of Killing on Adrenaline. Dying Fetus full-swing recover from the weaknesses of Stop At Nothing. The production sound could stand to be more biting and have some crisp highs. But the songs once again sound more like that signature Dying Fetus sound, and less like typical death metal. Sweeps that aren't over-played, awesome groove-downs, and trade-off hardcore style vocals, with cookie monster grunts. The drumming is the best it could be for this band, without re-hiring Kevin Talley. I was worried that Gallagher would lose steam, but the boys really packed a powerhouse with this record. Highlight tracks are Homicidal Retribution, Raping the System, and Obsolete Deterrence. Overall, the musical style of this album is like a summary of all prior Dying Fetus albums.

Dying Fetus Are back!!!!
It's been four years since the last album, but they doesn't lost the intensity that made them famous!!!! First I love the fact that Sean Beasley took the job of the second vocalist aside the grunt master John Gallagher.. I loved his bass lines on Stop at Nothing, but hearing him singning is a proof that he can do everything he want... Seriously he's my favorite singer in Dying Fetus history, he's even better than Jason Netherton.. in my opinion. The song are a little repetitive but they're all great. The production is crunchy as hell and you can hear everything, even the bass, which is rare on a death metal album. The only thing that irritates me is the drumming!! Don't get me wrong, Duane Timlin is a strong heavy fast motherf******.. But I miss the grooves of Kevin Talley. I saw Dying Fetus live and Duane played the old songs exacly as they were, so I know what he is capable of. I just hope that he could just do the double snare hitting more often like Kevin did( if you have the album Destroy the opposition you'll understand). Nonetheless it's a great album and if you're a Dying Fetus fan or just a Death metal fan you should buy this album... It's really great!!!
Favorite tracks: Homicidal retribution, raping the system, insidious repression, the ancient rivalry!!!
