4.0 out of 5 stars Great debut, March 30, 2006

This review is from: Haunted (Audio CD)

Six Feet Under was, as of 1995, just a side project. But their debut, "Haunted," rivals anything done by Chris Barnes' other band, Cannibal Corpse. And, like CC, Six Feet Under are (of course) very spiteful, in addition to being raunchy, dark, and fast. "Haunted" boasts a brutal, riff-heavy attack, and, even though the vocals are deep and gruff with an occasional shriek (i.e. in the title track), Barnes' lyrics are sometimes (as in "The Enemy Inside") discernable. But these songs aren't without hooks, because Steve's guitar work usually sounds quite awesome. Most of the songs (i.e. "Silent Violence") have a pounding rhythm with cascading riffs or fast, buzzsaw riffs (i.e. track one), but not every track is the same. For example, "Lycanthropy" is backed by ascending, machine gun riffs, and "Human Target" has a catchy stop-start rhythm. Other highlights include the thunderous "Beneath A Black Sky," and the scorching "Torn To The Bone." This album is arguably Six Feet Under's best work to date, and it is also possibly the best ever debut by a side project, so it's recommended to all metalheads, and an essential buy for everybody who enjoys death metal.

The band's first release is nothing short of being great.The album is extreme and heavy,while being somewhat slow on most songs.The vocals are of the same vein as cannibal corpse and the guitar work is really good.Standout tracks include lycanthropy and beneath a black sky.If you are a fan of the band then you should already own this.METAL RULES!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, October 1, 2001

By all accounts, this can be lumped in with Death Metal. Chris Barnes is one of the original DM vocalists. Allen West played Guitar for Obituary, and his riffs sound very much like those he wrote with Obituary. Bassist Terry Butler has played with Death and Massacre. Thing is, once you listen to this, there is a big difference between Six Feet Under and the DM norm. There are no blast beats, or thousand beats per minute kick drums. But there is a killer groove to all of these songs. DM feel, but a grooviness seldom heard from a DM band.

None of the songs here are extremly intricate, and none have Kerry King style guitar solos. And it wouldn't be difficult to argue that these aren't the most talented musicians in the world. But having said that, I still love this album. I have played this for guys who like grunge, and they bought into this almost immediately. It is just very listenable. In my opinion, this is the best SFU album. If you like Cannibal Corpse and Obituary both, then buy this. If you are only a fan of extreme DM bands like Nile and Vader, then this will bore you to tears. But I highly recommed at least giving it a listen. It may surprise you.
