Unleashing their latest album “Grotesque” on Gore House Productions this past November, UK death grinders Foetal Juice have a new playthrough from bassist Lewis Bridges for the closing track “Gruesome”. In this song, the bass plays almost a solo over the intro riff where Lewis gets to flex his bass playing guns to the world.
Lews Bridges adds about the song:
“This one is where we have really experimented with a clean intro. This is something we have never done before but really enjoyed it when bands like Entombed have done it on albums. The clean intro is influenced by the film Lobster Man From Mars and we just thought it would be good to try a build a song up like that for one. After the intro we wanted it to go straight in as abrupt as we could make it. So, 6/8 blast it was. We wanted the song to be a sort of one after the intro but also make it incredibly groovy with skipping triplets on the guitars and a wandering bass. We are really happy with how this song turned out. “

Foetal Juice’s sound is a melting pot of influences, ranging from death metal and grindcore to black metal, gore, groove, thrash, and even Enya. Their evolution as a band has brought new dimensions to their music, incorporating diverse elements while staying true to their death metal roots.
Notorious for their catalogue of unpleasantries and musical vulgarities, this album promises to be heavier, catchier, faster, and more aggressive than anything they’ve ever done before. It’s a relentless assault on the senses, and Foetal Juice is ready to claim its place in the annals of brutal death metal.
Recommended for fans of Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, and Vomitory, “Grotesque” is a relentless barrage of blast beats, horror and gore that will have you questioning your sanity.
Produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Fielding with the album artwork done by Misanthropic Art, “Grotesque” was released on November 17th, 2023 and is available from Gore House Productions at the following links:
