Dying Fetus's music is a hybrid of death metal, grindcore and hardcore, characterized by extremely fast blast beats, complex riffing and slow breakdowns. Lyrics-wise, the band dabbled in the usual gory death metal subject matter on their early albums, and respectively covered "Born in a Casket," a song originally written by famous death metal band Cannibal Corpse. By 2000?s Destroy The Opposition, however, they had practically completely shifted to political lyrics. The lyrics are quite left-wing (though the band, due to a recent change in line-up and lyrics-writing duties, has taken a slight step towards right-wing), mostly consisting of aggressive critique addressed towards things such as religion, corporations, consumerism and war.
