The Return of Chris Barnes

2025-10-28 by starboystargirl | 36 Comments
Six Feet Under has finished recording their next album, the follow-up to Killing For Revenge (2024), and will begin mixing soon. Vocalist Chris Barnes revealed on the 100 Songs That Define Heavy Metal podcast that he co-wrote the record with Jack Owen. Barnes described the album as encompassing the full range of Six Feet Under’s sound, from rhythmic and straightforward tracks reminiscent of Haunted to thrashier songs like those on Killing For Revenge, and even material recalling The Bleeding era of Cannibal Corpse, where both Barnes and Owen played together.

The album will be mixed by Mark Lewis, who previously worked with the band on Graveyard Classics III (2010), Undead (2012), and Unborn (2013). Barnes reconnected with Lewis earlier in 2025 and praised his production on Dying Fetus’ recent albums, saying Lewis aims to create a mix that complements the album’s stylistic diversity.

Are you sure about top 5?

But yeah they were held in quite high regards and played comparatively large venues in Germany for many years.

“Six Feet Under has released 14 albums, and is listed by Nielsen Soundscan as the fourth-best-selling death metal act in the U.S.”

as of 2003 they’d sold 370,000 records according to Nielsen. who knows what it’s like in the streaming era cause streams and whatever are fake and unreliable.

no that’s sabaton.

six feet under is for guys driving a 2000 dodge Dakota with a 7/11 vodka/slushi road soda on their way home from their job at the only machine shop in the area that doesn’t drug test.

I don't know why, but I read this as "The Return of Chris Gaines" and I got wildly confused.

The band whose entire fanbase says “i know but i actually really dig them. Give them another shot, they’re actually really good.” and they’re just terrible. I say this as someone who has had this interaction with at least 3 people in my life.

“ Barnes has called some of the survivors of the 2018 Parkland school shooting "crisis actors" and the coronavirus a "false flag".”

ohhh it makes a lot more sense that this dogshit is just death metal for MAGA people, okay I get it now.

Isn’t it cool how literally the worst musicians in every given genre are into that shit, Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Nelly, and Chris Barnes could be the shitty MAGA musician Mount Rushmore
