War of Attrition is the fifth album by Dying Fetus. The album's lyrics were written solely by guitarist Mike Kimball (see album booklet). This release has seen high praise from original fans due to its return to traditional DF form. It is also their 1st self-produced album in 9 years.

Former co-vocalist Vince Matthews and former drummer Eric Seyanga departed in 2005 to form the band Covenance. Gallagher once again found a new member: drummer Duane Timlin. With this line-up, Gallagher promised to record what he called "our most brutal album yet."

It is perhaps Dying Fetus' most politically-influenced album, containing lyrics that tackled the War on Terror, reality TV, and the flaws within the justice system. True to DF roots, it is also rather violent, as, right after the band describes their topic, they often switch to how they kill their victims.
