A Dozen Good Reasons To Die With SEAN BEASLEY From DYING FETUS

Armed with undeniably some of the heaviest riffs known to mankind, DYING FETUS have established a reputation for uncompromising integrity with a slew of classic albums, and today ride a resurgence of respect and esteem with a new generation.
After 12 horribly long years since their last tour in Australia and in only their second appearance in New Zealand since 2009, DYING FETUS are well overdue to lash us unmercifully this December with their savage beat downs and earth-moving grooves and grunt, equally designed to pulverize and mesmerize.
And smash us they shall, but to find out just how they plan to do that, HEAVY sat down to chat with bass player Sean Beasley. One of the things we ask about is the well-known ferocity of Dying Fetus's mosh pits and what it looks like from stage.
"Yeah, it's always different," Beasley smiled. "You never know with big festivals or whatever. That's when you see it, like, oh shit, somebody might get hurt out there. Usually, people get hurt when they fall over the railing instead of being in the pit, you know?"
We also address the fact that the band have not toured Australia for well over a decade, and ask cheekily why they have neglected their fans here for so long.
"I don't know, to tell you the truth," he replied, laughing. "It just hasn't worked out. We haven't been back to Southeast Asia either, so for some reason that hasn't worked out. It's been this long, which is really surprising to me. I had to look it up and was, like, damn, when was the last time we were there (laughs), and then I had a look and realized it's been that long!"
In the full interview, Sean talks more about the tour and what we can expect from Dying Fetus. He runs through what has changed with the band in between visits, including new albums and how much attention they will be getting in the set list.
We praise him on the selection of 200 Stab Wounds as support, talking about this being their first tour of Australia and how they will adapt. The excellently graphic tour poster is discussed, along with more on the mosh pits in the crowd, new music and more.
