Renowned in the UK underground, the indomitable talents of Derek Carley (Burial, Wolfbastard), Ryan Whittaker, Rob Harris (Necronautical) and Lewis Bridges (ex-Ond) form Foetal Juice, a band that delivers a seething, virtuosic, and violent audial assault. Their latest album âGrotesqueâ is more gruesome than ever with savage sound and remorseless lyrics, it will unleash a cataclysmic symphony of brutality that will leave the faint-hearted in tatters. Their single âLegion of the Grotesqueâ delves into the macabre world of those who overuse cosmetic surgery, turning themselves into grotesque monstrosities. A disfigured tale of botched Botox and vanity gone horribly wrong is explained further by the band:
âThis song was inspired by our love of Angel Corpse. Our guitarist wrote a riff that we loved so we thought âWhy does it need to move to the next section every 4 bars?â So, we stay on the same riff for longer than we normally would with other elements of the song changing around it. Again, itâs something new that we have tried for this album and for me at least, it works really well. Weâve thought it needed breaking up with something less blast-beaty in the middle as it has a lot of constant blasting in this one.â
Despite the stench of death surrounding Foetal Juice, their technical prowess should not be overlooked. This album is a sonic defecation that transcends the boundaries of the grotesque, creating a maelstrom of sound that will engulf and consume your senses.
Formed with a simple goal of bridging the gap between grind and death metal their music is a relentless, violent, and catchy brand of death metal that leaves no room for apologies. It’s unapologetic sonic devastation, and it’s what Foetal Juice does best. They are recommended for those with a strong stomach and fans of Vomitory, Napalm Death, and Terrorizer.

âit is rare for a genre this ingrained to be played straight with such eagerness and unrelenting energy, and that alone puts Foetal Juice ahead of the pack.â â 4/5 – Angry Metal Guy
âGluttony shows us FOETAL JUICE at their fastest, heaviest and most aggressive. Theyâve taken the fire and surging adrenaline of their live shows and have harnessed that power and itâs been manifested into their sophomore record. Full of grit and gristle that will not be for everybody, but if you fancy some gloriously grotesque death metal, look no further and indulge yourself in a bit of filth.â 9/10 – Distorted Sound Mag
âWhen the band says that they are at the top of their game and the album is death metal from the top tier, more capable of taking on the biggest names in the genre â and winning, it not just shallow brag. Itâs completely true.â – The Razors Edge
âThe punishment for gluttony is to be forced fed rats, snakes and toads. Foetal Juice make you swallow something far more repulsive.â – Moshville Times
âDragging death metal kicking and screaming back to its putrid past (i.e. the late 80âs / early 90âs), the deviants in Manchesterâs Foetal Juice deliver nothing but the finest old-school onslaught on their second album, Gluttony. Gorging on the very life-force of death metalâs founding fathers means that Foetal Juice share an undeniable kinship with the likes of Cannibal Corpse (think Bloodthirst era) and Master (circa On the Seventh Day god Created â¦Master) as they steadfastly go about their barbaric business. That is to say that Foetal Juice take the tastiest chunks of these bands and re-form them into a meaty platter of modern sounding death metal with an old-school twist.â – Worship Metal
