So something like this is a good reminder of what bizarre degenerates we are. Dying Fetus are taking a lot of flak from Dutch gynecologist Bertho Nieboer. The band’s name is on the posters for the upcoming Fortarock Festival, and Nieboer believes pregnant women should not have to have the idea of a dying fetus put in their head. You can read about it here. Nieboer told [url=http://www.gelderlander.nl/]Der Gelderlander[/url], the biggest paper in the Netherlands, the following: [b][i]"- The posters hang among others around the hospital. If someone like a child is lost, it can be very intense to see so large a band name. A child’s loss is very significant."[/i][/b][/quote] Sorry everyone for using MS as a source... the original article is in Dutch (meaning: impossible for most of us to read). Like the MS editor says, I pretty much forgot about how offensive the name can be for some, and only think about the face-melting technical Death Metal they play. :v:

Mainstream metal trying to be edgy with a name like that? That's never happened before.

That's actually a really strange lineup to include Dying Fetus on. The Netherlands is a pretty metal place are you sure people just aren't confused by why Dying Fetus is playing with Epica

[QUOTE=Zeke129;47836370]Dying Fetus is not mainstream[/QUOTE] I consider Nu Metal and Metalcore to be the most mainstream metals with teenagers.

[QUOTE=download;47836378]I consider Nu Metal and Metalcore to be the most mainstream metals with teenagers.[/QUOTE] They're death metal

That's actually a really diverse line up for a metal concert..

Dying Fetus is my favorite metalcore band

this makes me wonder how people would react to Isis being listed in a band line up on a poster (if they were still together rip)

[QUOTE=download;47836378]I consider Nu Metal and Metalcore to be the most mainstream metals with teenagers.[/QUOTE] I agree, but Dying Fetus isn't either of those. Also, wow Leprous is really out of place.

[QUOTE=Dwpr;47836577]Dying Fetus is my favorite metalcore band[/QUOTE] I personally prefer Infant Annihilator.

[QUOTE=NightmareX91;47836702]I personally prefer Infant Annihilator.[/QUOTE] I'm more of a Sabaton/Kamelot kinda guy myself. Power metal is great. [editline]30th May 2015[/editline] Civil War is pretty good, too.

They are posers to me until the frontman bites the head off a fetus on stage

I like Dying Fetus, but I wish it was another band, like Nile or Skinless. They'll always seem like Suffocation's slightly younger brother to me. They're good at what they do, I just get bored of "Chug chug chug, I hate rich people, chug chuggah chug" after a few songs. Personally, I wouldn't sit through all those Nu bands to get a listen. [QUOTE=Dwpr;47836577]Dying Fetus is my favorite metalcore band[/QUOTE] They're country post hardcore rock you fucking poser!

What surprises me more is that Epica is the only Dutch Metal band in that lineup, when there are so many great Dutch bands out there (not saying that Epica is a bad band whatsoever). No Carach Angren or Textures... :'/ Back on topic, don't let that Dutch gynecologist catch wind of Cannibal Corpse's "Fucked with a Knife", lest he'll rally against them!

As a Dutchman I can only say "meh". Article is pretty blown out of proportion as "Der Gelderlander" isnt the biggest newspaper at all (but of a province). And all of this fuss is very local to that province as no other major news outlet is taking any serious note of it.

[quote]Nieboer told Der Gelderlander, the biggest paper in the Netherlands, the following:[/quote] Way to check your shit, MS. Overlooking the typo that Google corrected for me, De Gelderlander is a regional paper. Not that De Telegraaf is any good of a source either.

I prefer Popped Vagina Blister or Rapist Cum

Why do people get angry over stuff like band names? So the band is called Dying Fetus, what's the matter? I don't see how anyone could get offended by shit like this, probably people who feel the need to be offended on a daily basis.

This is why metal is just awful. There's no message or political angle, it's just "HEY LOOK HOW EDGY I AM". Go back to your basement metalheads.

Agreeing with other posts; Dying Fetus in that line-up is weird as hell, but so is half of the metal festival line-ups now a days. Less focus, more broad catering (which is fun at times, but this is just plain weird) seems to be the general route metal festivals are taking now. [QUOTE=Jeremie.

There's no message or political angle, it's just "HEY LOOK HOW MANY HOES I GOT". Go back to your basement rapfans I can also look at about 5% of a music scene.

woot venom

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;47841275]Dying Fetus have been around almost a quarter of a century. It's like getting outraged at Cannibal Corpse's album covers from the 90s.
