Death metal veterans Dying Fetus seemingly stole the show at a two-day hardcore festival that took place in Tampa, Florida this past weekend (January 6-7). Fya Fest 2024 took over the Shanna and Bryan Glazer community centre with a stacked lineup across both days that included sets from the likes of Trapped Under Ice, Twitching Tongues, Incendiary, Militarie Gun, Sunami and many more - but it was Dying Fetus' forty-five minute set on Saturday night that has got most people talking.
Despite being a little out of place on a lineup absolutely dominated by punk and hardcore bands, Maryland's finest went down an absolute storm with a pulverising, eight-song set that included their cover of Integrity's Judgement Day, originally recorded for 1998's Killing On Adrenaline. The band were joined by Twitching Tongues frontman Colin Young for the song, which, along with Dying Fetus' own material, sparked some of the most enthusiastic pits of the whole weekend.
