'''''Fear of God''','' often abbreviated to F.O.G., is a [[Switzerland|Swiss]] [[grindcore]] band who were active in the mid-80's.
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" EP, released in 1987. It was one of the first [[grindcore]] albums, and was very extreme for its time. Their most well-known and acclaimed work is the [[Pneumatic Slaughter]] EP.
The band was named after a song on [[Amebix]]'s [[Arise!]]. 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., who was then based in [[Baltimore]]. Another earlier Fear Of God from [[Baltimore]] was an old school [[hardcore punk]] band who was active in the early [[1980s]].
