The Block
I was never a really big fan of Dying Fetus, but after Relapse re-issued their entire discography earlier in the year I decided to look into them more and see if they are the death metal masters everyone has made them out to be. To be honest, I personally don’t like them that much, but it’s hard to say they don’t have skill because they obviously have a lot of it. “History Repeats…” is their newest EP which features cover songs of other bands that have influenced them in the past. These bands include Dehumanized, Napalm Death, Broken Hope, Bolt Thrower, Pestilence, and Cannibal Corpse. While they are covering these bands, Dying Fetus puts their own unique spin on every song, but they never stray too far away from the original song. To go along with the six cover songs, Dying Fetus also put an original, grindcore type song on “History Repeats…” called “Rohypnol”, which I’m not a huge fan of.

This release is a good collector’s item for fans of Dying Fetus who are already pretty established with the band. I’m glad I got some of the Relapse re-issues earlier in the year because this isn’t the ideal place to start for new fans of the band. Overall it’s not a bad album and it should provide some enjoyment from hardcore fans, but for me it was kind of bland and uninspiring.
