Six Feet Under- Haunted
September 22, 2007 by Scott
Six Feet Under, was formed as a side project with former Cannibal Corpse singer Chris Barnes and Allen West of Obituary. After being asked to leave Cannibal Corpse by the other band mates due to contributing too much time to SFU, Chris agreed and Six Feet Under became permanent party.
SFU’s debut album Haunted was a great change for Barnes in my opinion and you can clearly hear Allen West on the record. Barnes vocals are more clearly comprehensible and the lyrical content is deathly and somewhat political in nature. Lycanthropy is a song about becomeing a werewolf an still alive is about being brought back from the dead…the usual death metal type lyrics. This band is much better put togther than his former.
SFU have done two cover records. Graveyard Classics featured such covers of Jimi Hendrix’s Purple Haze and Black Sabbath’s Sweet Leaf. Graveyard Classics 2 was a complete cover of AC/DC’s back in black record…interesting. Allen west rejoined Obituary in 1997 and was replaced by Steve Swanson x-Massacre.
SFU continue to go strong and have released 11 albums in the last ten years ans also a box set among various DVD’s
