Fetocide came into be… Read Full Bio ↴Fetocide - Technical Death Metal from Germany.
Fetocide came into being in 1998 - then still named Deformity. Being renamed into Fetocide during the following year, the band still existed as a two - piece - project of Ingo Neugebauer (guit./voc./drums) and Kai Schweers (guit./bass). Both stopped working on Fetocide for some time when they started playing with Embedded in 1999.
After leaving Embedded in 2002, both decided to revive Fetocide in order to follow their strife for technical and extreme music. A new bass player was found in Timo Prühn (now also playing at Tears Of Decay) and after a short time of rehearsing Fetocide recorded a first demo (“Shedding Liquid Flesh”) featuring Ingo on drums and guitars, Kai on guitars and vocals and Timo on bass - in winter 2002. This demo was exclusively dedicated to finding a new drummer and shouter.
Marius von Beckerath joined the band as a drummer and Fetocide started rehearsing, writing new material and working hard to extend their skills to a new level. When Ingo joined the death-grind band Ripped2Shred, R2S vocalist Dirk Frenking was convinced to join Fetocide as new shouter.
Just before recording “Redefine”, Kai had to leave the band because he was no longer able to fulfil the band's ideals of technique and motivation. So Ingo took the job to record all guitar tracks in order to look for a new second guitarist after the recording sessions. “Redefine” was partly recorded and mastered at Bonecracker studios (e.g. Diaphragma, Ripped2Shreds). Additional recordings and mixing was done at Trollheim studios (e.g. Sudden Death, Branded Skin, Dawn Of Disease).
When Timo quit the band a new bass player was found in shape of Hannes Bruns. As he joined the band right before the recording of “Repetitive Patterns” all guitars and bass tracks were recorded by Ingo. The whole “Repetitive Patterns” album was recorded within three days at Trollheim studios. Recording, mixing and mastering was done by Ingo.
A lot of rearranging the line-up was done shortly after this. Dirk left the band due to lacking time and Hannes chose to play different music styles. New members had to be found. When Jens joined the band it fastly turned clear that a new bass player dedicated to also replace any second guitarist was found, so Fetocide decided to continue as a four-piece. Within the next jams Heiko (a good friend) took the part of growling.
Unfortunately in summer 2009 Marius had to quit the band because of severe health reasons. This was - after seven years of playing together - the first real loss in Fetocides vita and the band decided to take a break.
After almost one year of absence, a new drummer was found in shape of André H. Janßen. Together with him, Arne Busche (a formerly Blues and Prog Metal playing guitarist) and Malte Peters on vocals, Fetocide are currently preparing to again cause some severe damage on stage. Furthermore, a new EP, entitled "Redesigned", was recorded during summer 2010 and was released at the end of the same year. "Redesigned" is intended for promotional purpose and can be downloaded for free at the band's official website (www.fetocide.com) as well as here on lastfm.
Lies
Fetocide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our past was mere demise.
The leaves and crimson skies.
In fear we keep unknown.
The currant raising thrones.
The time we keep on rewind.
Ahhhhh: I must have been falling: To where else of agony?
Ahhhhh: I must heed calling: to whom else of fantasy?
I fear all the/aimed reckoning logic means.
One erase in out a Bogged hence.
The garter reels strumming in me
On the race of the same one face.
Impact in the same one string.
Talking of I following me.
I must keep running: Together we squatter.
Ahhhhh: I must bleed crawling: in where else my deeds were planted?
Ahhhhh: My vote is calling: A hidden sweep of affinity.
The song "Lies" by Fetocide is a thought-provoking piece that delves into the idea of society being fed lies and deception. The lyrics suggest that everything we have been taught so far is nothing but a facade, and our past is only a mere downfall. The reference to "leaves and crimson skies" could be interpreted as the beauty and wonder of nature being overshadowed by the dark reality of the lies we've been fed.
The second verse is particularly interesting as the lyrics touch upon fear and the unknown. The "currant raising thrones" could be a metaphor for how power is concentrated and hoarded by the 'elite' in society. The phrase "time we keep on rewind" suggests that history tends to repeat itself, emphasizing how we remain trapped in a cycle of lies and deception. The line "together we are quailed" hints at the idea that we might be stronger or more effective in confronting these issues, by standing united rather than being divided.
The chorus features two sets of "Ahhhs" that create a sense of anguish and desperation. The lines "I must have been falling: to where else of agony?" and "I must heed calling: to whom else of fantasy?" reveal a sense of confusion and uncertainty. It's as if the singer is grappling with the concepts of truth and fantasy, and the pain that comes with this realization. The final verse refers to the "same one face" and "same one string," which could signify how we are all interconnected beings, moving in the same direction or struggling with similar issues. The line "my vote is calling: a hidden sweep of affinity" could suggest a call to action or a desire to unite with others in bringing about change.
