REVIEW: Dying Fetus - Stop At Nothing Relapse Records, 2003
7/10
Dying Fetus - Stop At Nothing - cover art One of the few death metal bands left on Relapse Records, Dying Fetus have let their fans wait anxiously for this, their first full-length album since 2000's "Destroy the Opposition". With die-hard founding member John Gallagher surrounded by new blood, one might expect big changes from these east coast bangers. Wrong. This is still mosh-heavy, noodling-flecked death metal with more breakdowns than a Third World economy. The biggest change seems to be in the lyric department, where guitarist Mike Kimball has essentially taken over and given the gradually politically-minded Fetus a noticeable intellectual boost. Gallagher's trademark fretwork is accompanied nicely be Kimball, and they let loose on tracks like "One Shot, One Kill" and "Institutions of Deceit". The title track contains the most out-of-hand playing on the album, with the first few bars being a guitar player's dream, or nightmare, depending on one's preference to listen or learn. Fetus' new rhythm section of drummer Erik Sayenga and bassist Sean Beasley keep things nice and beefy throughout, and all in all, things seem to be running smoothly with the now trademark Dying Fetus deathcore sound.
