Barne s ugliest vocals ever - but that s a GOOD thing! - This is the first actual SFU album that I have purchased. I spent over one hour listening to different samples here, from different bands. What finally made me go for this album was Barne s unholy, and ugly-as-all-hell vocals. I have all his stuff with Cannibal Corpse, and I listened to other SFU albums. But in this one, something is up in this man s demonic pipes. I have been listening to Death Metal since the early 1990 s, and I cringed a few times while listening to this. But, guess what? THAT s why I love it! Musically, there s really not much to say. Simple, churning guitar riffs, with simple arrangements. Pretty standard fare, that yet somehow still makes you wanna break something. Take a listen to this, and you ll notice what I m talking about, vocals-wise. It s beautiful, in an entirely demonic, horrific way.
Six Feet Under went back to basics - Six Feet Under seems to have went back to basics on this CD. they somewhat sound like thrash metal more than they do death metal, but they still ROCK. this whole album is worth a listen. hope they come out with a new album soon.
heavy riffed bellowing - I think this is the best album I have had for awhile. The songs flow and continue, the vocals do not get tiresome, and the the overall tempo of the album is consistent. Heavy riffed bellowing.
Crushing, Relentless Metal! - As a certified eccentric who listens to Celia Cruz, Roy Orbison, Opera, Ricardo Arjona, and Cannibal Corpse, I tend to gravitate to whatever I feel embodies a certain feeling or mood I am after. This one I can appreciate as its mostly slow, crushing rythems have an apocolyptic feel to it, and at times it evokes insanely rich, vivid gore scenes and head-banging, fist pumping evil.The best tune is The Edge of the Hatchet and Ghosts of the Undead, Thou Shalt Kill, Zombie Exectutioner, and Doomsday are all top-notch as well. Really, 9 of the 10 tunes are great (didn t care for track 7 for some reason). Definitly a heavy album, not as blisteringly speedy as cannibal corpse, not as technical as Death and Morbid Angel-- musically it is similar to Obituary, and the vocals are terrifc-- deep, pissed and unmistakenable.
NOT GREAT. NOT BAD - AT FIRST LISTEN I WAS NOT HAPPY. IVE BEEN A FAN OF SIX FEET UNDER & CHRIS BARNES SINCE A LONG TIME.I PUT THE ALBUM ON MY SHELF FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS.PUTIT BACK IN MY CD PLAYER FOR A 2ND LISTEN, LIKED IT A LITTLE MORE !
