Maryland-based death metal act, Dying Fetus, have issued a video update in regards to the band’s upcoming eighth studio album, coming soon from Relapse Records. Check out the clip below:

Dying Fetus were recently on the road headlining the Metal Alliance Tour with support from The Acacia Strain, Jungle Rot, Black Crown Initiate and rotating openers Reaping Asmedeia and Nylithia.

During their May 3rd Illinois stop of the tour, the band received what they considered a very interesting request. One of their biggest fans recently passed away and as a final wish, he had asked that his ashes be scattered on stage during their show. When the band ripped into Nick's favorite song "Homicidal Retribution", the band honoured his wish and did just that.

"We just scattered nicks ashes in the pit for his favorite song, homicidal retribution, may he RIP. Rest in the pit \m/", commented the band on Twitter.
