John Gallagher, guitarist and vocalist of DYING FETUS, has announced that the group has entered the studio to record their new full length album. The band will once again be working with longtime producer Steve Wright (Slipknot, Misery Index) at Wrightway Studios in Baltimore, MD.

Set to be released in mid 2012 through Relapse Records, the album will feature nine tracks and is a "return to roots" with production focused slightly more on slam than in the band's last few works. Thematically, the album is set to be a good old-fashioned piece of social and political commentary in the style of DYING FETUS as we have come to know. An official release date and album title will be announced shortly.

"The last album had some groove in it," stated John, "but [it] was basically a lot of tech; this one is a return to form of older DYING FETUS albums, so to speak- more modern production though, of course." "Everything's tight," John adds; "...the sound is crushing, the drums are amazing".

Additionally, DYING FETUS have announced a series of special South American shows set to take place in mid-January. The band has also been confirmed for next year's prestigious Maryland Deathfest and France's Hellfest. DYING FETUS plan to tour extensively in support of their new album and will be announcing more dates shortly.

I don't know why I'm not more into this band, I've liked them every time I've seen them

i saw them once at the palladium, i think you were there. i'm not a big fan of their records, but holy hell they were amazing live.

this band has sucked for years now.

they forgot

Ha, so instead of continuing the epic technicality they've been displaying, especially on the last album, they're going to dumb it down and write lazy slam shit.

i loved the last album,old fetus rules im sold!

I can't wait to hear how fucking boring this CD will be

yup, glad to hear theyre toning down the wankery. i only want my dying fetus material to be ignorant as fuck.

like new Condemned ignorant?
