To match the rather grim weather outside, this summer is shaping up to be something of a delight for death metal fans, and the return of Dying Fetus will be welcomed by many. Not for the faint-hearted, Reign Supreme is every bit as gory and deranged as you could hope for from a band so named...

Sound: Dying Fetus is a death metal band formed in 1991 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. "Reign Supreme" is the seventh studio album by Dying Fetus. Dying Fetus started as a death metal band but has been changed. The latest album by Dying Fetus, "Descend Into Depravaty" was a mix of Technical Death Metal and Grindcore. "Reign Supreme" is probably the best album by Dying Fetus. In this new album, Dying Fetus might try to explain the beginning of a new era for Dying Fetus...

The main reason Dying Fetus have maintained their status as part of death metal's elite is consistency; they know what they do well and they stick to it. The legendary Maryland band don't stray too far from their traditional sound on their seventh album, Reign Supreme, but that doesn't mean that they're simply regurgitating old material. The aptly titled record has that distinct Fetus sound at its core, but it also features some new twists that make it fresh and current...

"...with 'History Repeats,' Dying Fetus has created a strong collection of songs that will easily tie over their growing fan base until the next full length." Making an inhuman amount of sound for a three-piece, Maryland's Dying Fetus has been steadily carving a path of destruction over the last few years...

Armed with one of the most memorable names in the metal world, Maryland's Dying Fetus have been carving their own brand of extreme metal for well over fifteen years and have six full length records to their infamous name. Having been put out on various obscure labels (that may or may not exist anymore) are the band's first four official releases, which naturally have gone more and more unnoticed over time. That's about to all change though...

Sound: I am a huge fan of death metal, and after seeing these guys live, I was eager to pick up this new album. I was not disappointed. The work that's gone into making this album is phenomenal - the sheer technicality of their work here blew me away. John Gallagher handles all of the guitar work excellently - the short solo at the end of 'Ethos of Coercion' was truly sweet - and shows how much of a talented musician he is...

Sound: Dying Fetus has a sound that's very unique compared to most other death metal bands out there. They blend the furious drumming and deep gutteral voices with insane guitarwork that is both catchy and very technical. The best way to describe it is grindcore meets death metal, and the result is something that's very accessible compared to lots of death metal...

Everyone's always trying to be more extreme, whether it's ass piercing, eye gouging or penis splitting, bungee surfing or rollerblading or in-line vert bio para-gravi-sailing. Nowhere is this more true than in the realm of heavy metal. Every band, in every interview and every article, claim to be the heaviest and most extreme. And for the most part, they never are. But Dying Fetus -- they actually stand a chance...
