This unholy union was conceived in the frozen lands of northern New York, and then incubated in the stench of a New Jersey landfill. Only then could it be born into the shadows of Philadelphia. An offering to the masses of epic proportions. A metal band influenced by punk rock, classic rock, and jazz warmed over with a touch of New York hardcore, speed metal, and just plain sludge. The result is a collection of songs so familiar you’ll wonder why you’ve never heard them before. A sound so unique it can only be labeled as one genre…The Fetals.
In the Fall of 2006 J Fuk and Fetal Matty decided it was time to once again create music. What was originally intended to be a small project to create an outlet for their musical desires quickly became a strive to create the perfect sound. By Spring of 2007, as the proper musical and recording equipment was accumulated, the foundation for the first few songs had been laid. Realizing they would be able to get more accomplished if they didn’t have to do all the work involved to make sweet metal sounds on their own they talked their long time friend Cocheese into dusting off his bass and joining the cause.
Within a few months things started looking up as The Womb 1.0 was established. The Womb would be where The Fetals would create their headquarters as they planned their invasion of Fetaldelphia. That is when lead guitarist Unterberger came on the scene. Fetal Matty and Unterberger would then work to generate a dueling guitar sound that was then matched by Cocheese’s intense bass maneuvering. J Fuk provided the foundation by manning the thundering roar of the Black Drums of Death. Months would then be spent grueling away at creating and then perfecting a sound so fetalicious that it could be professionally recorded and made available to the masses.
It was then in early 2008 The Fetals would enter Range Recording Studio and lay down all the music to the first three official songs. The Fetals then used those songs to go out and recruit their final member. They needed someone with true vocal ability. Someone that would be the perfect fit to this unique sound The Fetals were working on. That vocal ability would be provided and exceeded by the man named Coscarelli. It was only a matter of time before a complete Fetal lineup raided Range yet again to finalize their first three songs with vocals. That leads us to now.
The time for The Fetals to invade Fetaldelphia has begun. There is no need to even try to avoid it. It is time to bear witness to the coming of The Fetals. Let the dawn of a new age in music begin.
