Story of the_foetus


Since 1996 the_foetus take the inspiration from the old school and raw spirit of 80's Horror & GORE movies. Influenced by many Death Grind Gore bands from early 90's, the band find his own musical inspiration through Heavy & GORE music. Really sick and provocative spiritual reflexion, all tracks, all lyrics and all arrangement on all recordings are think in all details.
Mature with more than 25 years of existence, the band is back to proove that they have one more time several disgusting ideas to make you sick and be addict to their Intense Death GORE Grind carnage.

Formed in 1996 by Dams (vox + bass) and Nono (drums), the band record a rehearsal tape with 6 tracks, just for fun. this demo tape isn't official because only few copies are given as gift. In 1997, the new demo "Degradation of the Lymphatic Tissue" is available : 8 tracks of intense death GORE carnage with some samples from cult horror & GORE movies (brain dead / texas chainsaw massacre / night of the living dead...). a few copies are sold : around 150 !

Dams formed another band : GORESTENCH (brutal old school death metal). always active in the underground extreme metal scene DISGORGED FOETUS, comeback with a better musical experience and they give birth in blood of 10 tracks (+ 1 GUT's cover). a pure intense death grind GORE carnage called "The GORE Party" is released in march 2001.

Ultra GORE artwork, scato & GORE lyrics are written and they create a putrid image of musical shocking !!! the professional CD know an incredible explosion through the underground scene (for now there are 2500 cd through the underground scene (first press + re-order) with the great help of a lot of international labels. their label (IMPHALTE Prod. - formed by Dams to promote the band) re-press the CD because it's sold out.

With Dav as new drummer, in october 2002, the band release a 3-ways-split CD with a dutch grind band and a german GORE band, the trax from DISGORGED FOETUS are enclosed under the title GORY foetal feast.

In novembre 2002, they play at IMPH'AMES Festival with SCARVE, IMPERIAL SODOMY and KRONOS. a real stench of butchery smell good during the show.

After a cancelled show in belgium the band appear on a tribute to GUT in octobre 2003 (pressing by an mexican label : AMERICAN Line Productions).

After several personnal troubles for both members (but life fucking goes on !) the band work without compromise on new tracks and in november 2003, they play at the IMPH'AMES Festival 2003 with NOSTROMO (swiss grindcore), FURIA (french death black) and KLONE (french power metal). a great drum sound + a monstruous double bass sound and an inspired new session guitarist give a great show to the fans and others. a video-projector add some GORE feelings to the gig !!!

During this live performance they record 3 tracks with a professional team with a video camera. the video clips are available on their first DVD 'GOREvisions', they play at the cult Frontline in belgium with INHUMATE / BURIAL / EXTREEM ECZEEM / DESENSITISED the decembre 06th, 2003. the show was recorded for this performance and the first official dvd is released in march 2005. After several personnal disturbances, the drummer left the band and it's being hard to find a new one as very good Friend.

Jo (the first guitarist in the band history !) joins the band in summer 2005 for 2 gigs along with other groups like SCARVE, IMPERIAL SODOMY, KRONOS, INHUMATE, EXTREEM ECZEEM, BURIAL and some live recordings are done. With these archived videos, on 2005 a DVD is released under the sweet name of "GOREvisions".

The band splits in 2006 and reforms in 2017 with Kv on drums, Yn on guitar, and the orignal frontman : Dams on vocals/bass. This band configuration occured with the release "Born in GORE - tribute to DISGORGED FOETUS" by the Mexican label MUCUPURULENT productions, where 27 international bands covered the band in their own style. A video clip is then shot and a rehearsal 4 tracks session is recorded. Named "Putrefying Gangrenous Abscess" MCD (on Mexican label MIERDAS prod).

Beginning of 2018, the 2002 line up is newly gathered (Jo, Dav and Dams) to give its first reunion concert at OUTCH! Open Air Festival 2018 with bands as UNLEASHED / ROTTING CHRIST / NOSTROMO / BENIGHTED / BLOCKHEADS and many more.

Since then, DISGORGED FOETUS has toured in across Europe (France, Germany, and Netherlands) and especially at the Philosyphilis Deathfest VI in Passau (Austrian border). The band enjoys being on stage and has lots of fun but doesn't forget to compose actively for the new album.
In mid-2020 a split CD was released with OXIDISED RAZOR and PLASMA on the Mexican label DIABLOS Recs and in Europe distributed by IMPHALTE distr. / BIZARRE LEPROUS. It contains 3 new songs + 2 old songs from 1996 brought up to date.

Fall of 2021, Jo left the band following a very busy personal schedule, reduced to 2 members as at the start, the band work on the forthcoming album "obscene utter GORE annihilation". It will be released december 15th, 2023 and it will crush all and the 60 minutes of purulent music will leave the listener in disgusting sweats. A most unhealthy artwork created by Val from MORE THAN GROSS grafx will contain 21 old school Death GORE Grind tracks !


Fall 2023 the "utter GORE over Europe" tour start and the band choose to visit a lot of different countries during 2 years, start in Belgium, Switzerland, Portugual, France (several times of course), Czech Republic, Italy, Bulgaria and more to come for the pleasure to destroy your guts.
DISGORGED FOETUS conquering Europe in 23/24 with full GORE destruction in YOUR country and the big step at NICE TO EAT YOU (Czeq Rep.) in may '24 with GUT, SINISTER, CENTINEX was a total GORE CARNAGE. the band played 2 times (the second time was to replace the cancellation of mighty OBSCENITY).

After playing in great GOREGRIND festivals through Europe in 2025, the band work on a new split CD with south American bands available middle of 2025 and in the same time on a new release for beginning 2026.
