Like any classic Dying Fetus song,
opener “Fixated on Devastation” is saturated with amazing riffs, fantastic
drumming and clever song writing. It’s a thrilling ride and one which carries
on throughout this record. One could
argue that the band sounds more or less the same as they have done since “Descend
into Depravity”, but as long as they keep up this quality of song writing,
nobody will complain.

The Review:
Dying
Fetus’s ‘Wrong One To Fuck With’ is the band’s first release in five years,
and marks the longest period between albums in the group’s history. It’s been
worth the wait – this album is a cracker.
From
the first minute of this album, the listener is in no doubt over what they’re
in for or who they’re listening to. A bewilderingly technical but catchy and,
most crucially, relevant riff opens proceedings before a slamming groove slows
things down and John Gallagher’s distinctive bark jumps into the mix.
Like
any classic Dying
Fetus song, opener “Fixated on
Devastation” is saturated with amazing riffs, fantastic drumming and clever
songwriting. It’s a thrilling ride and one which carries on throughout this
record. “Die with Integrity” has another insurmountable groove followed by
frenetic riffage and torturous passages, while “Revelling in the Abyss” is the longest song the band have written
in some time, clocking in at over six minutes. The clean guitars on “Weaken the Structure” make a welcome
change from the relentlessly violent and scything riffage. After the last notes
of “Seething with Devastation” ring
out, you need a halfway break – this album and the band in general, are so
intense that stomaching a whole album in one sitting would be tough going.
Have
the band progressed? One could argue that the band sounds more or less the same
as they have done since “Descend into
Depravity”, but as long as they keep up this quality of songwriting, nobody
will complain.
