Six Feet Under
Biography
Originally a side project for Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes and former Obituary guitarist Allen West, Six Feet Under eventually became a full-time proposition when friction between Barnes and his other bandmates became too much to bear. Featuring ex-Death bassist Terry Butler and drummer Greg Gall in the rhythm section, Six Feet Under issued their debut album, Haunted, in 1995. Barnes subsequently quit Cannibal Corpse, and Six Feet Under issued the stopgap EP Alive and Dead in 1996 to tide fans over until the following year's full-length, Warpath. Third album Maximum Violence appeared in 1999. Graveyard Classics followed a year later and 2001's True Carnage featured guest vocals from Ice-T. Double Dead arrived in 2002, followed by Bringer of Blood in 2003, Graveyard Classics, Vol. 2 in 2004, 13 and the Decade in the Grave box in 2005, Commandment in 2007, and Death Rituals in 2008. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
Selected Discography
Bands like Cryptopsy and Obituary (whom both I love and respect) seem to struggle at times with their identity and it can sometimes muddy up the songwriting and I think that is where S.F.U is head and shoulders above their comrades, they give their core fanbase exactly what it wants everytime they hit the studio and Chris lays down his cottonmouth cookie monster vocals over killer tracks that melt faces and rip hearts. I personally can't wait until they get finished with 'Graveyard Classics 3'.

I know this band gets ripped by almost every rock/metal critic every album like clockwork but this band is 'American Death metal' and without Chris Barnes the genre would barely exist. They have been the most consistent band that I have heard since R.I.P Chuck Schuldiner (Death, Control Denied) passed away. I know that if he were still living the almighty DEATH would still tower above SFU and everyone else but I believe that this band at this time iscarrying this genre with worldwide recognition

His voice just makes me feel terrible... That reminds me, there was a Chris Barnes at my high school and we'd always pick on him. Good times...

Chris Barnes is f*cking amazing. He has such a distinct vocal style. Brutal as hell!! Stay metal brother!
|
||
The TNT remake is awesome.. Anything with Barnes rules.. Six Feet Under Rules, Cannibal Corpes isn't s**t without Barnes. The great thing about SFU is that it is just a driving force, constantly consistent..
