SIX FEET UNDER Frontman: Next Album Will Be 'Accelerated Version Of What We Were Doing Before'

July 23, 2011

On July 22, Aniruddh "Andrew" Bansal of Metal Assault conducted an interview with vocalist Chris Barnes of Florida death metallers SIX FEET UNDER. You can now watch the chat below.

SIX FEET UNDER's current lineup includes guitarist Rob Arnold (CHIMAIRA) and drummer Kevin Talley (DAATH, MISERY INDEX, CHIMAIRA) alongside vocalist Chris Barnes and guitarist Steve Swanson. CHIMAIRA guitarist Matt DeVries is handling bass duties on the road, but it not expected to become an official member of SIX FEET UNDER.

When asked about the musical direction of the material SIX FEET UNDER has written for its next album, Barnes said, "The music is gonna be, really, kind of an accelerated version of what we were doing before faster-paced, more interesting time signatures as well as really wild choruses and some heavy vocals. I think people are really gonna be interested in this album. It's something different, but it's something the same. The feel of it is SIX FEET UNDER, but we've pushed it and added some horsepower."

Bassist Terry Butler and drummer Greg Gall announced their departures from SIX FEET UNDER in January. Butler has since joined OBITUARY as a permanent member.

SIX FEET UNDER's "Wake The Night! Live In Germany" DVD was released on January 31 in Europe (three days earlier in Germany) and February 1 in North America via Metal Blade Records. The set consists footage of the band's August 8, 2009 performance at the Party.San Open Air festival in Bad Berka, Germany. The gig was filmed by Roax Films with nine cameras and recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound, picture size 16:9.

SIX FEET UNDER's current touring lineup is:

* Rob Arnold (CHIMAIRA) - Guitar
* Kevin Talley (DAATH, MISERY INDEX, CHIMAIRA) - Drums
* Chris Barnes (CANNIBAL CORPSE) - Vocals
* Steve Swanson - Guitar
* Matt DeVries (CHIMAIRA) - Bass
