Dying Fetus have caused quite a stir in the Underground scene, being hailed as elitists in the modern DM circuit--which has gotten to the attention of record associates and landed them a contract with Relapse Records recently. Dying Fetus play a form of Hardcore \ Brutal Death Metal with vocals ranging from low-pitched gutteral grunts to high shrieks similar to the Black Metal genre. The guitars are at the forefront, with nice blastbeat drumuming adding to the all-out fury. Grotesque Impalement is a six track EP containing a skit, a parody, a cover, and three originals. The title track and "Streaks of Blood" both contain catchy, thick riffs which hold up great on repeated listens. Check out the slower riffs around 2:11 in "Bringing Back the Glory" that push the song towards a heavy-hitting climax. "Tearing Inside the Womb" hits hard and interestingly "Hail Mighty North: Forest Trolls of Satan (Anno Clitoris 666 Opus 11)" is one of the better songs. The 80s style riffs make it a very catchy listen with a short but sweet solo that is a highlight, although probably not meant to be taken very seriously. 'A parody towards Black Metal, which is a bit silly, but a good cut none-the-less.

Pretty nice work, especially for an EP.. Let's see what the full-length will sound like.. One of the more capable 'Hardcore \ Brutal Death Metal' bands I've come across that carry a keen sense of groove and humor in the music. Dying Fetus just got signed to Relapse Records, so keep your eyes peeled for them.
