Conceptual themes

All full-length Foetus album titles are four-letter, one-syllable words, often with multiple connotations.

The artwork of Foetus releases shows a deliberate progression of colour: the earliest releases are black and white, with the addition of red on the Deaf album, and further addition of yellow on Nail. Full-color art was introduced on Gash.[1] Beginning with Flow, the artwork of primary albums reverted to black/white/red, though other releases continue in full colour.
