It's definitely our best one, the best songwriting, the best production and all that stuff. So it is definitely a step forward for the band and as far as a wider audience goes, the record label, Morbid Records, helped that. They've taken care of a lot of the promotion and distribution; we did a lot of that ourselves in the past. Especially in Europe, they've done a lot more for us there. We still do a lot of the American work ourselves, we print the CDs ourselves here.

DYING FETUS released their second album, Killing on Adrenaline, on this day in 1998 through Morbid Records.
The lyrics are my department, whereas the music's mainly John's department, with the guitars, etc. I wrote one song on the album ["We Are Your Enemy"], he wrote the rest of them. We've always wanted to play this kind of music. We don't concentrate on writing brutal songs, we write songs which are catchy. We like it, that heavy sound, and we're glad it comes out that way. As far as the lyrics go, I like to keep them interesting, too. Half of them are more kind of traditional death metal lyrics, I guess, along the lines of anger, frustration, pain. The other half are more politically oriented, that's because that's what I study at university, the international global economy. I like to take that kind of stuff and put it into lyrics and make it more accessible to play to a wider audience. To make them take the lyrics and bring them down to a more personal level, I guess.
