Dying Fetus are still touring their 2023 album, "Make Them Beg For Death". And yes, it's still as insane today as it was two years ago...

"It follows on from where 'Wrong One To Fuck With' left off," drummer Trey Williams said about the album. "We don't need to participate in the technical death metal arms race. We've got the big guns, and we've proven that. It's all about pointing them in the right direction, so to speak."

"We put our own twist on death metal," explained singer and guitarist John Gallagher. "We were like most bands, starting in the garage, drinking beer, having a little fun on the weekend, finding the right amps through trial and error. We blended aspects of bands we liked — SUFFOCATION, OBITUARY, DEICIDE and CANNIBAL CORPSE, among others; the dual vocal approach of CARCASS — and made them our own. 'Let's make it moshy, let's make it slammy.'"

Cradle Of Filth, meanwhile, have been a little busier than just sitting in the garage drinkin' beer. Their last proper studio album, "Existence Is Futile", came out in 2021, but they have been busy... touring mostly, Europe, America, South America, Mexico... but the news is... "It was finished — it's been ready since July, I think," frontman Dani Filth revealed. "We're having two more videos and singles before the album drops. Yeah, maybe even four; I'm not sure. It depends on how well it goes. But yeah, there's a plan to a gameplan to everything."

"It's very hard to talk about it. I don't really wanna talk about it because I can't do it justice." Dani continued, not talking about it. "Every album has a lot of things going on. It's just a very, very great record. It's the next stage of our evolutionary step as CRADLE OF FILTH, moving on from the [two new songs] we debuted on [the 2023 live album] 'Trouble And Their Double Lives'. It has elements of old-school CRADLE, elements of new-school CRADLE. It's catchy, it's fast, it's slow, it's romantic, it's heavy, it's theatrical."
