Tampa death metalheads Six Feet Under have just announced that their tenth full-length album, Unborn, will be released March 19th on Metal Blade.
Vocalist Chris Barnes (also the founding vocalist of Cannibal Corpse) had this to say about the record:
“The journey to create, write, and record Undead [SFU's 2012 record] and Unborn has been the most challenging and exciting musical endeavor and process I have ever been involved with. Working with all these amazing writers and musicians like Ben Savage (Whitechapel) on songs like “Neuro Osmosis” and “Fragment” are some of the most dynamic, beautiful, and brutal songs I’ve ever had the pleasure of putting lyrics to… It was also a lot of fun working Jari Laine from Torture Killer again. We wrote a great album together a few years back called SWARM! –one of my favorite releases I’ve been involved with– and Jari is someone who I have really wanted to work with again ever since. I wanted to revisit collaborating with Jari because of how well we work together; proof of that on Unborn are the hook heavy sounds of songs like “Zombie Blood Curse” and “Incision.”"
Check out the lyric video for the first cut released from the album, “Zombie Blood Curse” here.

If you make it in you’ll get to see Six Feet Under, Cattle Decapitation, Battlecross, Gypsyhawk, and Pilgrim for the awesome price of free.
It’s been a long road for Metal Blade and a lot of their sucess has been attributed to working with just about any band that they like, no matter what they sound like. Founder Brian Slagel has been quoted as saying:
“To this day if I really like a band and if the staff really like it then no matter what they sound like we want to work with them, I’ve always liked a wide variety of sounds in metal, which I think is reflected in our roster, and I’ve never gotten into trying to sign a lot of bands that sound the same. I would personally rather find something that nobody else has heard of before, something that’s really different from what’s going on, and put that out.”

Let’s face it, regardless of what Six Feet Under do or don’t do, your opinion of them is most likely made up and has been so for some time. Having been steadily active for the past seventeen years, the band has made a style of playing no frills, bare bones death metal. The problem is that with eight previous studio albums under their belt, only three would I deem worthy of owning, i.e. Haunted, Maximum Violence, and 2008’s Death Rituals.
Personally, I’ve maintained the opinion, through the last dozen years, that SFU needed to either light a fire under their collective asses, or instigate a line-up change by adding and/or replacing some members. Surprisingly, that is exactly what happened last year when longtime members, Greg Gall and Terry Butler, left the band. The band quickly replaced Gall with none other than Kevin Talley (Dying Fetus, Misery Index, Chimaira, and Daath), who brought along Chimaira guitarist, Rob Arnold and Matt DeVries, to fill in the role of bassist, joining Chris Barnes and longtime guitarist, Steve Swanson. It is worth noting that DeVries left before the recording of Undead, leaving Arnold to handle bass duties as well. The new additions the band was now boasting sparked an exciting and increased interest in SFU, causing fans and critics alike to wonder where the new material would lay. So, is Undead, the ninth full-length album from Six Feet Under, everything and more that SFU fans have hoped for? Is it their best material ever? Will this release silence their critics forever? Well, yes and ultimately, no. Get the full explanation here.
Six Feet Under has a new rhythm guitarist– Ola Englund. Englund will be making his first official appearance with the band when they hit the road next month on the 18 Nights of Blood Tour. Englund is taking the place of former Six Feet Under drummer Rob Arnold.

“I’m in pretty much the best headspace I’ve been in since myself and [former guitarist] Allen West started this band in 1993. I’m super excited about the new record. It’s a rejuvenation; it’s a rebirth of Six Feet Under, and fans will definitely latch on to my excitement and how focused I am in the lyrics I’ve written… The hypocrisies of daily life, things that affect us that spawn aggression, loneliness, sadness, there’s a lot of emotions going on across the record, and I guess that the dark horror that humans cause is my niche.”

Orange Goblin are pure rock n' roll... feared, respected and mentioned in whispers by awed rock fans and youngsters across the world. Orange Goblin are the modern UK metal heroes who never give up and always keep kicking ass. Back with their first live album, the pants-seat scorching A EULOGY FOR THE FANS (Candlelight), "The Goblin" just get better with age. Seriously, could this band be any more awesome? I think not.
