Six Feet Under: a maggio il nuovo album “Killing For Revenge”; ascolta il primo singolo
Comunicato stampa:
I Six Feet Under pubblicheranno il loro quattordicesimo album in studio, Killing For Revenge, il 10 maggio tramite Metal Blade Records.
Fin dai primi istanti del primo singolo, “Know-Nothing Ingrate”, che dà il via al disco, è immediatamente chiaro che i Six Feet Under hanno concentrato le loro energie in qualcosa che è brutale, liricamente viscerale e musicalmente abbagliante come ci si aspetterebbe dal death metal di Tampa. Killing for Revenge, una bestia da macello che non è per i deboli di cuore, offre immagini da incubo per gentile concessione del frontman Chris Barnes attraverso la voce gutturale che lo contraddistingue. Sia il titolo dell’album che la copertina, dai toni cupi e rossi, realizzata dall’artista Vince Locke, sono contenitori perfetti per la brutalità del disco.
“Ho scelto il titolo Killing For Revenge (Uccidere per vendetta) dopo aver completato la stesura e aver notato che tutti i testi e le trame avevano in comune il tema della vendetta. Vendetta umana o vendetta della natura”, racconta Barnes. “Il titolo dell’album descrive perfettamente il flusso delle storie all’interno dei testi”.
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. “We worked well together in Cannibal Corpse,” recalls Barnes. “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.”
SIX FEET UNDER was initially formed as a side project for Barnes during his final years with the band that he co-founded, Cannibal Corpse. It became the frontman’s sole focus in 1995, coinciding with the release of their debut, Haunted. Only Barnes remains from SIX FEET UNDER‘s original incarnation, but the quality has remained remarkably consistent. The current lineup of Barnes, guitarists Owen and Ray Suhy, bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Marco Pitruzzella make for a devastating unit.
The songs on Killing For Revenge dive headfirst into subjects that are as gleefully vile, graphic, and downright grotesque as you might dream of from a Barnes/Owen project. After all, the two men were vital cogs in the Cannibal Corpse band that released such delightfully offensive death metal classics as Butchered At Birth and Tomb Of The Mutilated. SIX FEET UNDER also recorded a cover of Nazareth‘s “Hair Of The Dog,” which appears on all formats of Killing For Revenge with the exception of vinyl.
As a first preview of the record, today the band unveils “Know Nothing Ingrate.” Notes Owen, “This music was written early in the writing process. 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.”
