Band biography

Dying Fetus was formed in 1991 by John Gallagher and Jason Netherton. After lots of rehearsing and several demo releases they unleashed their debut album "Purification Through Violence" in 1996. It was released on the now defunct Pulverizer Records, a small metal label from Singapore. They had in fact released an album earlier but it was completely self-financed and this was their first label offering. The band has handled most of their promotion and marketing on their own through their very own label Blunt Force Records. In 2000 they signed a new deal with the American Relapse Records.

In early 2001 Jason Netherton decided to leave the band and in April 2001 it was reported that Sparky Voyles and Kevin Talley had been asked to leave the band due to internal conflicts. John Gallagher then reconstructed the band with a completely new lineup.
