Fear Of God (Swiss Band)
Fear of God (often abbreviated to F.O.G.) were a Swiss grindcore band who were active in the mid-1980s.
They started in 1986 and broke up in 1988, but briefly reformed in the middle of 2002.
Their first release was a self-titled, 21-track 7-inch EP, released in 1987. It was one of the first grindcore releases, and was very extreme for its time. Their most well-known and acclaimed work is the Pneumatic Slaughter EP.
The band is not to be confused with a number of other bands called Fear Of God. One was a Los Angeles thrash metal band that eventually morphed into F.O.G., which was then based in Baltimore. Another earlier Fear Of God from Baltimore was an old school hardcore punk band which was active in the early 1980s.

Famous quotes containing the words fear and/or god:
“A major misunderstanding of child rearing has been the idea that meeting a child’s needs is an end in itself, for the purpose of the child’s mental health. Mothers have not understood that this is but one step in social development, the goal of which is to help a child begin to consider others. As a result, they often have not considered their children but have instead allowed their children’s reality to take precedence, out of a fear of damaging them emotionally.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 4:4-7.
