New Dying Fetus rips.

[Dumple Stilzkin]

Yup. These guys are so consistent. The new album is magnificent.

 

[MaxOfMetal]

I miss John's old Ampeg tone.

But yeah, DF always delivers the goods.

 

[crushingpetal]

Agree. It's not a competition, but the new DF > new CC.

 

[thrashcomics]

It has been my morning commute listening on most days since its release. It really helps you navigate rush hour subway traffic.

 

[KnightBrolaire]

Dying Fetus always rips. They are still the tightest band I've seen live besides Necrophagist. Dudes were impeccable.

For real.

They're the fucking Rush of death metal.

Agree on the Ampeg tone, but the album is great. I can’t think of many albums this deep into a band’s career that I like so much better than the majority of their output. This is my favorite thing they’ve done in a very long time.

Anyone know what John’s using now? I haven’t really kept up. Still sounds great, but Ampeg > everything.

 

[Decapitated]

I think live, he uses a 3120.

I know they're really known for the Ampeg tone and whatnot, but as a Mark Lewis simp, I have to say this is the best they've ever sounded IMO. For a recorded album anyway. Everything is just so punchy and clear.

 

[sleewell]

love them, really great album!

I don't disagree at all, but the Ampeg tone was never about being the best tone, it's just about sounding like the Ampeg tone haha.

 

[Dumple Stilzkin]

I seem to recall reading that he layers the Ampeg in the studio. It sounds that way on the new album.

 

[works0fheart]

Listened to this album twice so far and it does indeed fucking rip. Feast of Ashes is my favorite off of it so far but Subterfuge, Throw them in the Van, Unbridled Fury, and Raised in Victory are awesome. Really, the whole album is great, I just didn't want to start naming song titles and essentially give you the track listing for the album lol.

This actually made me go back and listen to Wrong One to Fuck With as well since I missed that album. That one indeed too fucking rips. Dying Fetus might just be THE most consistent death metal band.

 

[crushingpetal]

Oh yeah, Fetus were on the Garza podcast a few months ago:

 

[MrBouleDeBowling]

My favorite band of all time. New album is awesome. I like it way more than Wrong One to Fuck With

Fr? New CC is great, so this is exciting. I need to work my way through all these incredible DM releases we've just had.

 

[will_shred]

Production is excellent, I wish the bass were a little more audible because the mix is mostly guitars, drums, and vocals. Still sounds HUGE. The riffs are tight and groovy. Everything you'd expect from DF.

I don't think you listen to DF because you expect them to evolve over time, you just want them to keep delivering the same brutal riffs album after album and honestly their ability to consistently do that is really impressive.

 

[metalheadblues]

Anyone knows who mixed and mastered the albums? Killer mix

 

[RiffRaff]

Anyone knows who mixed and mastered the albums? Killer mix

Mark Lewis I think

 

[sezna]

I could never get into DF befoer, but I actually really dig this. Nice.
