Metal Blade

A death metal band from Tampa, Florida, US. Founded in 1993 by Chris Barnes, Allen West, Terry Butler and Greg Gall. Initially a side project that became a full-time band in 1995 after Barnes left Cannibal Corpse.

The current line-up of <en>Six Feet Under</en> consists of Chris Barnes on vocals since 1993, Jeff Hughell on bass since 2012, Marco Pitruzella on drums since 2013, Ray Suhy on guitar since 2015, and Jack Owen on guitar since 2017.

Similar to bands like Deicide, Vader, Krisiun and Obituary among others; <en>Six Feet Under</en> has established themselves as an influential force in the death metal genre. With their brutal sound and intense live performances, they have gained a dedicated following worldwide.

Metal Blade is an independent heavy metal label that was founded in Los Angeles, CA on February 1, 1982 by Brian Slagel. Over the years, Metal Blade has gained a reputation for launching the careers of numerous popular metal bands including Metallica, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, and many others.

The label has gone through various changes in its label codes and variants throughout the years. From 1982 to 1983, they used "tan labels and axe with blood stains" for most releases. However, there were exceptions such as "black labels" available only on the Metal Massacre compilation and "custom tan labels" for certain releases like Bitch's Damnation Alley.

In 1984, Metal Blade switched to using "silver labels and axe with blood stains," which were actually used only in that year. Some pressings from this period with earlier dates are actually from 1984. These silver labels were also reused in the 2016 reissues of Slayer's Show No Mercy album. Additionally, some releases sold in 1987 featured these silver labels but were likely old stock distributed in new sleeves.

Killing for Revenge marks the second album that SFU mainman Chris Barnes and guitarist Jack Owen (ex- Cannibal Corpse) have created together since reuniting for 2020’s Nightmares of the Decomposed, an album one critic praised an “often slow-ish and doomy yet crushing death metal” which offered an “uncompromising show of strength.” Owen also produced Killing for Revenge. Six Feet Under was initially formed as a side project for Barnes during his final years with the band that he co-founded, Cannibal Corpse. It became the frontman’s sole focus in 1995, coinciding with the release of their debut, Haunted. Only Barnes remains from the original SFU band, but the quality has remained remarkably consistent. The current lineup of Barnes, guitarists Owen and Ray Suhy, bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Marco Pitruzzella make for a devastating unit. “I'm really fortunate that I have probably the best musicians in metal. The lineup now is untouchable,” Barnes says. Clearly, 2024 is shaping up to be a massive year for Six Feet Under, and Barnes hopes to take full advantage.“I'd like to get a tour put together,” he says. “I would love to get back out on the road. It's been too long. Three of those years were due to the pandemic. I love being on the road. I love being in a tour bus and being in front of people on stage. I have missed it so much. It’s what I was meant to do.”
