Dying Fetus – Descend Into Depravity

I’m overworked and overplayed but the new Dying Fetus is not. Stamp of approval, although it’s not as brutal as I was thinking it would be and I find myself getting a little bored and slightly annoyed at some of the guitar work… I guess I’m still not much of a guitar solo kind of person. (Unless it’s Slash.) I do love the runs on “Shepherd’s Commandment.” The new drummer is pretty sweet though and John Gallagher’s vox still rule. The album kicks off strong with “Your Treachery Will Die With You,” but tends to wax and wane afterwards. The weakest song is unfortunately the title track.

Standouts: “Hopeless Insurrection,” “Atrocious By Nature” and “At What Expense.”

I wish I could remember which new songs I saw them play during Summer Slaughter this year… they’re definitely still maniacally awesome live. Headed overseas with Cannibal Corpse next… lucky Europeans.
