Dying Fetus

The album “Reign Supreme”, to be released on June 19, via Relapse Records, marks the returning of the trio with such power and consistency that guarantee us, or at least me, the veteran bands still have a word to say in metal or even in other music genre. The current music level is so low and declining that when an old band releases an album the fans go insane – a thing that did not happen with Morbid Angel (sorry, I had to say that, eheh).”Reign Supreme” is a death metal supremacy, a musical reign to be conquered by force and dedication, a lesson to be taken by the youngsters. If some current extreme death metal bands are good, I guess many of them must give a «thank you» to acts like Dying Fetus.

Opening this album is the “Invert The Idols” track which vary between a maniac shredding guitar riff and a fine groovy movement touching the technical way – a Dying Fetus’s trademark. The “Second Skin” track is one the most violent songs in the album and the shredding versus consistent guitar riffs continues along with the excellency of Trey Williams in the drum department.

We also have apocalyptic passages like in the “Dissidence” track. The “In The Trenches” track reminded me of the best Bolt Thrower’s record “Those Once Loyal” because of musical tempo and because of the “simple” riff type – check it out when listening to the album and I hope you have the same opinion.

“Revisionist Past” is the best you can find in this “Reign Supreme” album and right here the band captured their melodic vein and achieved the most bombastic breaks between passages. From the insane beginning with a virtuous guitar intro to the almost orquestral break which puts you in a mosh-pit, from the mid-tempo surrounded by nice drumming work to the melodic soundscapes crushing into a furious changing which puts you back in the mosh-pit picture, I couldn’t stop listen to it.

The beautiful consistency and persistency heard in this album is also due to the great production – the studio work is fabulous. A very tight job that was led in a meticulous way was done in “Reign Supreme” and the behind-the-scenes men also deserve an applause.

Reaching the end of “Reign Supreme” you will play it again and again for sure!
Dying Fetus are back!
