Media type: CD

Death metal powerhouse Dying Fetus return with their long-awaited new record War of Attrition. Masterminded by guitarist/vocalist John Gallagher and his hand picked kill-team, War of Attrition advances the band’s devastating assault and destroys everything in its path. From the first song to the last, the patented 'Fetus combination of punishing slam riffs, frenzied guitar work, and utterly savage dual-vocal assault and overpowers the listener. War of Attrition reaches an altogether new and focused level of brutality for Dying Fetus, and expands and cements the legendary status of this renowned US metal institution.

War of Attrition is the fifth album by Dying Fetus. The album's lyrics were written solely by guitarist Mike Kimball (see album booklet). This release has seen high praise from original fans due to its return to traditional DF form. It is also their 1st self-produced album in 9 years.

Former co-vocalist Vince Matthews and former drummer Eric Seyanga departed in 2005 to form the band Covenance. Gallagher once again found a new member: drummer Duane Timlin. With this line-up, Gallagher promised to record what he called "our most brutal album yet."

It is perhaps Dying Fetus' most politically-influenced album, containing lyrics that tackled the War on Terror, reality TV, and the flaws within the justice system. True to DF roots, it is also rather violent, as, right after the band describes their topic, they often switch to how they kill their victims.
