Frontman
Chris Barnes from Tampa-based death metallers
Six Feet Under has issued the following update:
"Hello again from
Morrisound in Tampa, Fl. We have, so far, completed all of the drum tracks for the new Cd.
Greg [
Gall] did an awesome job laying the drums down-powerful, very powerful!! A very big thanks to
Bill Metoyer for all his help with getting some great drum tones!
"
Terry [
Butler; bass] and
Steve [
Swanson] have been tracking guitars all week, and are pretty close to completion of the rhythm tracks. With
Steve working through this weekend tracking all of his lead guitar sections-lots of leads on this one!! Big thanks to
Kxk guitars for the new axes that
Steve and
Terry are using on this recording ? really great sounding guitars!!
"After the basic tracks are completed I will be heading down to Miami for my vocal tracks, along with
Chris Carroll at the helm. I'm really looking forward to getting back to the
Hit Factory ? it is the most important recording studio in the history of rock 'n' roll. I am so honored to have been recording my vocals there for the past several years, and to be included with all of the greats that have recorded at the
Hit Factory. Looking forward to another killer session!"
Six Feet Under's as-yet-untitled new album is expected before the end of the year via
Metal Blade Records.
The band's video for the song
"Doomsday" made its
"Headbanger's Ball" debut last November. The clip was shot in August 2007 and was directed by
Mario D. Framingheddu, who also helmed the group's previous video,
"Ghosts of the Undead". According to the band, "The concept of the clip is pure fucking insanity on all levels. We were fortunate enough to work with
Grady Stiles, a.k.a.
Lobsterboy, who plays our main character. This has to be the creepiest clip we've ever filmed, from location, to storyline, to cast. It's totally fucked up!"
