Six Feet Under

Six Feet Under was formed in 1993 by then Cannibal Corpse singer, Chris Barnes and Allen West (Obituary). Six Feet Under has produced 9 full length albums to date. Six Feet Under is one of the larger Death Metal bands in the country, enjoying a level of success not common to the genre.

SFU’s ’sound’ is usually less technical than most modern Death Metal bands, and owes more to Thrash Metal. It could be said, that Six Feet Under is more of an ‘Old School’ Death Metal band. A term has been coined for their style, called ‘Death N Roll’.

Death Rituals' First Week Sales

Six Feet Under's newest album, "Death Rituals" sold 2,300 copies in the US following it's release, in a week. That puts them on the Neilson Soundscan chart as number 14 for up-and-coming artists. This sucks.

Six Feet Under is not an "up-and-coming" artist. They've been around for years.

Death Rituals

Six Feet Under has released their new album Death Rituals. While the album isn't ground-breaking for the band, it's still kicks ass. Songs like "Seed of Filth" stand as proof the band isn't getting soft, while tracks like "Bastard" would have you think this was a classic rock band. Six Feet Under IS Death 'n Roll, and Death Rituals stands to prove it to you.

Music for the album was recorded and produced in the legendary Morrisound Studios (Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Death, Cynic, Iced Earth), by Toby Wright and Chris Carroll. The vocals were recorded at The Hit Factory in Miami, FL
