Dying Fetus are diligently looking for a drummer, they are also hard at work on their next album, which they intend to complete and begin recording sometime in the fall to winter of this year:

\"It has been a productive summer for us, and we\'re making good progress when we\'re not busy with our day jobs. We will announce recording dates after we have recruited a new drummer. We look forward to seeing you on the road in 2006! (...) We currently have six new songs completed, with the help of our computer drum software. (...) We are anxious to play live as a full band, and we expect our next album to be the strongest, tightest, and most brutal yet. We seek a reliable, professional musician to fill the position.\"

To ensure the availability of their songs for interested drummers, Dying Fetus have reduced their required song list and will make some internet-quality MP3\'s of these specific songs accessible soon. Keep checking their web site!

Submission formats: VHS or DVD preferred, Media Player or MPEG files sent on a data CD or DVD disc is also acceptable. You can send your application via snail mail to: Blunt Force Records, P.O. Box 6358, Annapolis, MD 21401, USA.
