It soon became a full-time commitment for Barnes when he was dismissed from Cannibal Corpse in 1995. The band formed in 1993 with five members: Chris Barnes, Ray Suhy, Jack Owen, Jeff Hughell, and Marco Pitruzzella. Six Feet Under was actually a side project for Barnes to begin with. SFU took the stage, everyone started headbanging, Chris started his roaring, and the band ripped through their set. He said of the show, “there was no light show, no stage props, no smoke machines, or anything. Metalhead” (aka, my dad) met Barnes at the Six Feet Under show at the Raleighwood back in `95. That is one thing I would love to do I would lose my absolute shit. I have never seen Six Feet Under, or any of Chris Barnes’ other bands. Brutality with clarity, that just about sums up this band! One thing that has not changed, however, is the brutality of his lyrics. By the time he formed Six Feet Under, his thunderous rumbles and gurgles were recognizable anywhere. As their records grew in number, Barnes’ voice became clearer and, believe it or not, darker and deeper. With Cannibal Corpse, his lyrics were unintelligible but to the trained ear. I would also argue that I am just a fan of Chris Barnes because I love his voice and I am a big fan of all of his side projects (especially Torture Killer). Their overall sound is how I would describe my favorite type of death metal. I love the slow, groovy riffs and the absolute power of Chris Barnes. I post their songs on my Instagram story often, and I am almost always playing them in my car or through my headphones, and of course, in The Butcher Shop. If you know me, then you know I love me some Six Feet Under.
