Interview with John Gallagher of DYING FETUS: Coffee, Earthquakes, and Death Metal Real Talk

By capitalchaostv on June 15, 2017 • ( 0 )

In this exclusive interview, John Gallagher of Dying Fetus talks about touring life, the new album “Wrong One to Fuck With,” what got him into metal, and how black coffee and sparkling water are now part of his daily grind. From near-death experiences to headlining tours, Gallagher gets candid, funny, and surprisingly relatable.

On a career in death metal….

I’m still buying the bread on sale at Safeway, like anybody else that’s watching their budget and stuff like this, I’m not just blowing money hand over fist you can live conservatively with death metal if you do it right.

On choosing the title “Wrong One To Fuck With” and imagery on the new album…..

There is no records stores now, we used to have the bold logo on the cd, so people could walk in and read and not just see a pile of sticks that was the idea of using a bold logo, and now theres no cds in Walmart. The title and imagery we just said fuck it, I did want to push it a little further than what came out really, I wanted a really intense, kind of gory cover, like an old Cannibal Corpse theme, I was really pushing for it to be extreme but the label (Relapse Records) wasn’t going for it…..

Dying Fetus will be on tour throughout the year starting with “Summer Slaughter” Tour alongside The Black Dahlia Murder, The Faceless, Oceano and more. The tour kicks off July 27^th in Reading, PA and runs through August 26^th in Cleveland, OH.

Following a quick break Dying Fetus will head overseas on the “Wrong One To Fuck With Europe” 2017 Tour. The tour runs October 13^th through November 18^th and features support from Psycroptic, Beyond Creation and Disentomb. A complete list of dates for all tour can be found below.
