SIX FEET UNDER Streams New Song, CHRIS BARNES Sounds Solid
Killing For Revenge is out this May.
Six Feet Under is back with a new record
Killing For Revenge due out May 10, and a new single "Know-Nothing Ingrate" streaming right now. I know everyone is probably poised to make jokes about
Chris Barnes' vocals, but lemme tell you – dude sounds way better than he did on
Nightmares Of The Decomposed.
"I chose the title
Killing For Revenge after we completed writing and noticed that all the lyrics and storylines had a common theme of revenge. Revenge by human or revenge by nature," said
Barnes. "The album title describes the flow of the stories within the lyrics perfectly."
Killing For Revenge marks the second album that
Barnes and guitarist
Jack Owen (ex-
Cannibal Corpse) have created together since reuniting for 2020's
Nightmares Of The Decomposed.
Owen also produced
Killing For Revenge, which
Barnes said about: "We worked well together in
Cannibal Corpse. I loved him to death as a friend and a musician, so I'm really comfortable giving him the reins because I just have such great respect for him as an artist."
"This music was written early in the writing process," said
Owen. "Wanting to keep the aggression of a prior
Six Feet Under song like 'Amputator,' I wrote music in the style of early
Dark Angel or
Kreator, who always had cool driving drumbeats. I had all the riffs in my head as I wrote the drums in a couple hours.
"Lyrically, I kicked around a phrase that fit the stop parts throughout the song. After coming up with 'Know Nothing Ingrate,' the lyrics wrote themselves. It's basically about online trolls who voice their uneducated and unnecessarily spiteful review of any artist's output. You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine."
