In 1995 the first official album Infatuation with Malevolence was released in self-production and a tour through the eastern United States soon followed. In 1996 the second album Purification Through Violence followed , which was released under Pulverizer Records and again followed a tour through all of America with greats like Kataklysm or Monstrosity .

With their third album Killing on Adrenaline , which was released in 1998 under Blunt Force Records , they also achieved an international breakthrough. A major tour of America and Europe followed . In 1999 her debut album Infatuation with Malevolence was re-released with some bonus tracks. In 2000 Dying Fetus signed a record deal with Relapse Records , went on a US tour with Kataklysm and Destruction and released the EP Grotesque Impalement , a compilation of old songs to shorten the fans' waiting time for the new album.

After 2000, Dying Fetus released their fourth album Destroy the Opposition , which was a great success and again led to an international tour. After that album and tour, there was heated debate within the band. Jason Netherton, Sparky Voyles and Kevin Talley left the band and formed Misery Index . Mike Kimball, Sean Beasly, Erik Sayenga and Vince Matthews joined the band as replacements.

In 2003 her fifth album, Stop at Nothing , was released, followed by several tours. In 2004 Vince Matthews split from the band and in 2005 Erik Sayenga left Dying Fetus. After more than a year searching for a drummer, Duane Timlin (ex- Divine Empire ) was announced as the new drummer in 2006 and bassist Sean Beasly took over the second vocals. With this line-up, their sixth album, War of Attrition , was released in early 2007 . In the same year, Duane Timlin left the band and was replaced by Trey Williams. In March 2008 guitarist Mike Kimball left the band.

On September 18, 2009 the new album Descend into Depravity was released . It was released in full as a stream a week earlier . On September 21, 2009 the music video for Sheperd's Commandment was presented.

To mark their 20th anniversary, in July 2011 they released the EP History Repeats ... via Relapse Records. This contained a new song, as well as cover versions of Dehumanized , Napalm Death , Broken Hope , Bolt Thrower , Pestilence and Cannibal Corpse .

In contrast to the very technical metal of its predecessor , the sound carrier Reign Supreme , released in 2012, is more oriented towards the old style. According to John Gallagher, modern production was important. The album received good reviews almost without exception (Metal-Hammer: 6/7, Rock-Hard: 8/10, Metal.de: 8/10)
