Prepare to be horrified as Englandâs Foetal Juice dives into a myriad of sick and twisted topics on their latest release âGrotesqueâ. This is the ninth instalment in their disgusting and deranged discography that has been swelling like an abscess since 2005. It’s a relentless barrage of blast beats, horror and gore that will have you questioning your sanity.
On âGrotesqueâ, the band blends the harsh nuances of grindcore, death and black metal, infusing them with inescapably high-quality musicianship and endearingly insalubrious lyrics, to produce superior, revolting extreme metal, and an audial experience akin to the pleasure of perforating a throbbing, rancid boil; immensely satisfying and intensely disgusting. They comment on this new release:
âWe really wanted to push our abilities as far as we could with this one by introducing speeds and techniques we havenât used in the past. I think overall we have accomplished this and even added other elements such as the intro to the last song. Itâs a route we have never taken before but it has turned out really well. We are very happy with the results.â
Foetal Juiceâs sound is a melting pot of influences, ranging from death metal and grindcore to black metal, gore, groove, thrash, and even Enya. Their evolution as a band has brought new dimensions to their music, incorporating diverse elements while staying true to their death metal roots.
Notorious for their catalogue of unpleasantries and musical vulgarities, this album promises to be heavier, catchier, faster, and more aggressive than anything they’ve ever done before. It’s a relentless assault on the senses, and Foetal Juice is ready to claim its place in the annals of brutal death metal.
âGrotesqueâ was produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Fielding and the album artwork was done by Misanthropic Art that captures the desperation of humankind. It is recommended listening for aficionados of brutality and gore, and those who enjoy Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, and Vomitory.
âGrotesqueâ was released on November 17th, 2023 via Gore House Productions and is available for album order (Cassette/ CD)/digital) at https://orcd.co/grotesque.

“Grotesque is an absolute maelstrom of sound that is satisfyingly punchy, chugging and impactful. It makes you want to hear more.” – Metal Talkâ
â
â“The main impact of the album is to shoot terrific amounts of voltage straight into your brainstorm, to pump hearts, to convulse muscles, and to suck the wind from your lungs. See for yourselves.” – NoCleanSingingâ
â
â“âGrotesqueâ by name and definitely by nature this is 40 minutes of joyously twisted groovy Death Metal with hooks for days… in a year of excellent Death Metal it can still go toe to toe with the best of the bunch. This Christmas give someone you love the gift of gore. 8.5/10” – Ever-Metalâ
â
â“Foetal Juice are recognized for their twisted and brutal amplification of virtuosic and violent musical assault. The album continues, said callous, promising a cataclysmic symphony of ferocity… The track (âLegion of the Grotesqueâ) moves more like a macabre exploration of the consequences of excessive cosmetic surgery. Despite the grim themes, Foetal Juiceâs technical skillset is evident, which enhances the grotesque subjects, similar to writing a horror film. Their music, a relentless blend of grind and death metal, is unapologetic sonic devastation, recommended fans of Vomitory, Napalm Death, and Terrorizer.” – Metal Insiderâ
â
â“In the 3 years since the release of Gluttony, and I must say you have really seen a huge growth from the band and Grotesque is an absolute monster record, well deserving of anyone who has an interest in the genre. It has enough of the hooks and grooves which will be of interest to your more casual death metal fan whilst remaining absolutely mean with a viscous twist for those with a more hardened ear towards the underground.” – The Razor’s Edge
“Grotesque is a stonker of a record, completely worth your time and a strong contender for album of the year. Foetal Juice have made a rod for their own back now, having to try and top this with their next record, which I already look forward to. For now, another few listens to Grotesque will more than tide me over. 10/10” – Musipedia Metalâ
â
â“with their intense, careening style of chaos hitting the spot time after time. Like a bludgeoning mace to your consciousness, âGrotesqueâ is one of the more distatefully straightforward pieces of extreme music youâll hear this year, and itâs all the better for it. A killer effort.” – The Killchainâ
â
â“Your eyes will water, your ears will bleed, your muscles will ache, your sphincter will tighten, your guts will churn, and you may even vomit. Itâs fucking Foetal Juice and itâs fucking Grotesque. Never change you lovable noise-mongers.” – Games, Brrraiiins & A Headgbanging Life
