SIX FEET UNDER Release Compilation Album ‘Unburied’, Featuring Previously Unreleased Material
July 6th, 2018


Chris Barnes


Tampa, Florida-based death metal group Six Feet Under issued compilation album Unburied on July 6th, 2018 in digital format through Metal Blade Records.

Unburied was produced by frontman Chris Barnes, and mixed and mastered by Chaz Najjar at Badlands Recording in Denver, Colorado. The outing consists of nine tracks recorded during sessions for the albums Undead (2012), Unborn (2013), and Torment (2017), and can be streamed in its entirety below.

Chris Barnes commented: “I feel Unburied is something special and interesting to release that is different, being that this is our first digital-only release and the songs are all in their rawest and earliest form. It was also a shame for the songs to just sit there and go to waste; I knew the fans would dig them, and also everyone involved worked so hard writing and putting them together. I always felt like the tracks were excellent Six Feet Under material, and wanted to finish and release them at the time of each release — but there was just so much material that was put together for the Undead and Unborn sessions that eight songs were basically left over in the demo stages. Also, one song from the Torment session that Jeff Hughell wrote — ‘As The Dying Scream’ — was left over in its demo stage as well. Hopefully you enjoy these tracks and it holds you over ’til the next full-length album!”

Music for the tracks were written by the following guitarists; Whitechapel’s Ben Savage, Torture Killer’s Jari Laine, current The Haunted and former Six Feet Under member Ola Englund, and erstwhile Chimaira and Six Feet Under member Rob Arnold. In addition, bassist Jeff Hughell wrote the music for the track ‘As The Dying Scream’, as earlier referenced.

The track listing is as follows;

01. ‘Violent Blood Eruption’
02. ‘Midnight In Hell’
03. ‘Gore Hungry Maniac’
04. ‘Re-Animated’
05. ‘Intent To Kill’
06. ‘The Perverse’
07. ‘Possessed’
08. ‘As The Dying Scream’
09. ‘Skin’
