The brutal kings of death metal are back with album number seven in tow.

More Dying Fetus More Dying Fetus

The unbelievable brutality of Dying Fetus has had death metal fans the world over besotted for over 20 years now, and today they have announced a very intimate run of dates that will allow Australian fans to get closer to the band than ever before.

The American band, which is still led by founding member John Gallagher, released their seventh album Reign Supreme last year, a record which saw them bring a little bit of groove back to their brand of death metal. The band are still as technical as ever though and they retain the kind of sensibility that helps listeners hear that there's far more beyond the brutality.

Joining Dying Fetus for this run of dates is Putrid Pile, a nonstop, face-pounding one man band that sees Shaun LaCanne belt out guttural vocals and slamming riffs over drum machine generated beats.

Catch both bands with soon to be announced local guests on the following dates.
