Your being a little to harsh on the band I actually love all the classics up to 2003 torment nightmare of the decomposed and the new one l l killing for revenge and actually your death metal 90s series was very good I actually want you to talk about more about the two 2 ll early 2000s like true carnage and bringer of blood in a death metal 2000s series starting with when you do the 2001 2000s death metal death metal video separate videos 2000s is the perfect continuation to the 90s series please explore my childhood which is basically the 2000s
The Ice T feature with the EEEEE appearing out of nowhere gets me every time. I always thought of this band as music made by someone who takes too much drugs, which is... exactly that.
That "eeeee" scream is an unique talent that should have never been showcased to the world 🤣 everytime I hear it I'm instantly laughing + cringing on behalf of everyone in the band like holy hell you put that out to the world with a straight face?
Well its easy to do when these RUclipsrs only listen to snippets of each track and have metal archives as a guide lol. Pretty predictable if you ask me lol.
I binged all of their albums in back in March, and I was entertained throughout. I consider Six Feet Under a guilty pleasure. My favorite album by them is 'Undead'.
Is that Forbidden pic ironic or do you enjoy the album? I actually haven't given it a try and I might wait for the remix which drops this month. I already thought Never say die was bad and apparently most dislike this even more
@@griefforest1870 I love 'Forbidden'. I haven't been able to get into Sabbath's earlier work, but I love the Tony Martin era. Plus, I love album's artwork.
@@TheDemonicHorseman Interesting. I love early Sabbath, but I really dig the Tony Martin era as well. My favourite would be probably Tyr, but Headless Cross grew on me. I also like the original version of Eternal Idol with Ray Gillen singing on it.
I know a lot of people hate on 6FU and that's their choice. But I think of 6FU in the same way I think of Jungle Rot. Someone else said it best... "It's simple, knuckle dragging, Neanderthal music". That's why I like it. It's not trying to be anything more than what it is. These 2 bands in particular fit the saying "what you see is what you get". As someone who listens to tons of death metal and its many, many sub genre's, nothing else sounds like it. Some people get it, and some people don't.
Haunted and Warpath are legitimately good albums, definitely can hear the Allen West guitar in them with them being very similar to Obituary at the time. Them two from 2012/13 written by Rob Arnold are also very solid and Barnes somehow doesn't sound too terrible.
Yeah, Allen West made those quasi-Obituary albums, so I kinda love those ones. Also, yes to the comment of Allen West going full Florida Man. That is no joke.
Big fan of Haunted and Maximum Violence personally. In my personal list of 90s DM essentials. Warpath is pretty fun. There are a few later albums that I enjoy as well honestly. Undead/Unborn are good. Commandment is one I come back to as well for some reason. Something about his raspy vocals on that album really works for me. 13 is pretty decent too. Death Rituals I kind of go back and forth on. Parts of it I like and it has a cool atmosphere, but his vocals do get weird in a number of songs. He is going for this ultra low Tomb of the Mutilated thing but he just can't totally pull it off anymore. Otherwise, overall I really don’t hate this band like many seem to, and think a good portion of their output really isn't anything that offensive like a lot of people say it is. They have some nice and decent releases though nothing super special, and also some stinkers certainly. A lot of their discography is kind of just solid fast food DM to me.
@@paradoxofepicurus I guess. I've listened to those first couple Obituary albums quite a bit and I don't really hear the similarities that much. I never viewed early Obituary as groove focused really. Slower maybe, a bit stoner-ish at times, but not like..."groovy" in the way most of the songs are Haunted are.
@@Joshcoshbagosh They start getting groovy on The End Complete and World Demise. The Haunted album came a little bit after that and to me sounds like a natural progression from those albums.
Nightmares of the Decomposed doesn't deserve to be in E, it should be completely ignored. Even official album comments were turned off when it started getting so much negativity. Nobody from label wanted that attention.
I'm not gonna speak on the later stuff, but if you look at the 90s/early2000s SFU material as more of downtuned thrashy punk with wild death metal vocals and a focus on rawness and simplicity, it makes a lot more sense then just calling them a death metal band and laughing about how "basic" their songs are and how "not good" the vocals are. I'm not much of a death metal guy myself. I'm huge on Thrash and punk. I've been a fan of SFU since the 90s. I will probably continue to revisit the earlier stuff forever, and even a lot of the cover songs people hate. obviously just my take. Also, Warpath is probably my favorite album. If you like mid tempo thrashy and grooving riffs give that one a listen from start to finish.
So many people try tell me that Barnes is better that Corpse Grinder and I just don’t get it. If he had stayed in Cannibal Corpse and gotten his way these albums are what they would have turned into. Corpse Grinder has made just as many classic songs and albums with Cannibal Corpse and helped them become probably the most successful death metal band of all time. I’m not saying the Barnes era is bad at all there great albums. But Cannibal Corpse kicking out Barnes and getting Corpse Grinder was defiantly a Giant upgrade!!!
Don't know if you like Suicidal Angels, but if you are ever low on ideas. I think they have a solid discography - IMO of course. Any way, see ya on the next upload!
All the valuable, high quality content you provide and you get roped into spending time on this stuff. I hate it for you, man. Uncle Melty had to drink during his review. Didnt even wait for the comments.
I didn't know that Brandon Ellis played on Crypt of the Devil. I should actually give that album a proper listen. I've admittedly (fortunately?) not listened to any SFU album all the way through except for Nightmares of the Decomposed for the laughs, but I guess I can change that because Brandon elevates everything he's on.
So I think my hot take is that Warpath almost has to be my favorite SFU album simply because of 4:20 and Night Visions, which brings up a weird conundrum. Six Feet Under are at their best when they don't sound like Six Feet Under. If they stuck to death-laced stoner metal they actually might be a really cool band, and it's a thing they've never really explored since.
I was half expecting the broken shell of a man giving this ranking, but it seems like you survived it in good spirits. As an aside, the Nightmares of the Decomposed sound bite always makes me laugh out loud 😂
I absolutely loved the first two albums when I was younger. Now there is a few songs off of those albums that I can listen to. I am butthurt, butthurt that my younger self loved this stuff.
I 100% understand the hate this band gets.. with that being said, I do unironically enjoy haunted, max violence, and true carnage. Like Obituary with some decent Chris Barnes vocals from the bleeding era. To each their own.
I think people forget or don't know that there was still a lot of good will for SFU in the late 90's after Cannibal and before the rotating line ups. People liked those records and the first Graveyard Classics for that reason. The genre and sound and the whole death groove thing hadn't been run into the ground yet and SFU was still seen as a band as opposed to a project. I like GC1. I remember when it came out. It was something of a novelty record. It was silly and fun. Nobody really shit on it for that reason, and if they did, people thought they were just too up their own ass to laugh be goofy a bit. And it sold pretty well. People bought it because it was silly. People who didn't even like DM just for the laugh. Mind you I'm looking at this from the view of nostalgia, ignoring everything there after, but even now in the grand scope of things, I'd still take the silly but well played covers album over the mountain of cut and paste copies that diluted the Death Metal, to say nothing metal genres suffering the same fate, (cough..stoner doom...cough). Just $.02 from an old lifer. Keep up the good work!
Great comment man. I just personally don’t like Six Feet Under and view them as bottom of the barrel stuff, but glad you can find some enjoyment in them and I somewhat agree that the Graveyard Classic records are kinda funny bad.
@@doomguyrox1156 Thank dude. That first one was a fun record. It wasn't so much laughing at it as it was laughing with it. Everybody knew most of those songs, and it was silly to hear them like THAT! Half the appeal then was it was just goofy fun! I think that's what they were going for. Like it was a fun mood lifter or sing along at parties. That feeling and perspective got lost in the long run, along with Barne's voice. Nobody needs either 2 or 4, those were ideas that would have worked at best then as a live one off. 3 tried to recapture it but his voice was gone and the vibe just wasn't the same.
I'll die on the hill for bringer of blood and 13. They were a couple of my 1st death metal records so they hold a special spot in my heart. My main complaint with 13 is the overall sound feels so low. Like when i used to play it on my old I pod I had to have it near max just to get a decent sound.
I always refer the Crypt of the Devil album as Six Feet Under the Cannabis Corpse. Since that album was recorded with the current lineup of Cannabis Corpse at the time.
Six Feet Under Haunted is still a favourite album of mine,Barnes vocals are still in top form on that record and production is fantastic and has some killer riffs.After that album I kinda fell off
LIAR! You totally meant to have that shaped as an L, don't fool us, Icarus! Great tier ranking, I never really got into SFU all that much and honestly, most definitely won't start now. Like you said, you did this so we didn't have to, and I think you for that, good sir!
I remember when Haunted came out when me and my friends were listening to everything from Korn, Tool, Fear Factory, RATM, Cradle of Filth, Moonspell you name it, we were blown away for some reason! It was like Nu Metal meets Death Metal or whatever you want to call it, who would have thunk back then that they'd release so many albums, hell, I had no idea they were still around until recently! 😅
On the note of covers, the Cannibal Corpse with Chris Barnes cover of Black Sabbath’s Zero the Hero is hilariously awesome. Honestly, the original version of that song is pretty bad, so the decision to cover it and the goofiness is pretty fun.
Just before this starts…. I’m looking forward to seeing your categories. For e.g., I’m pretty sure the top one isn’t going to be “perfection” and I’m hoping the bottom category will be something like “catastrophic” or “traumatising”.
I like some songs of True Carnage, The EEEEs takes some of it away, but like impulse to disembowel and necrosociety they almost go into slam metal territory.
Funny how I admired Chris' vocals when I was 12 and laughed my ass off when I first heard John Tardy. These days the cringe of more than 2 minutes of SFU is more than I can take and I'll rather vibe to Obituary.
I bought bringer of blood the week it came out. I liked it, i still kind of do. It might have something to do with the fact that I paid cash forma disk lol
I love it when people rip on this band. Especially Chris's vocals!😂😂😂 This was actually my favorite metal band back in 2000-2001 when I was just getting into metal until I discovered Fear Factory. I bought all their albums up to Commandment, then stopped listening to them. Kinda glad I did. Lol. When I Heard those Eeee screams on True Carnage I was like, WTF? My best friend at the time laughed his ass off at 'em. My favorite album from them is actually Bringer of Blood, but Maximum Violence will always hold a place in my heart. I remember listening to this in 01 on summer vacation from Highschool over and over again. Fun times!
I'm an old school metalhead who started listening to death metal in the early 90's, and I have to agree that Undead and Unborn are better than Haunted. Haunted is really good, but it's basically Obituary with Barnes on vocals. I actually prefer Warpath. Torment has some really neat ideas at times, almost progressive, but Barnes' vocals sound shot. Crypt of the Devil is underrated. The busier arrangements help somewhat disguise his deteriorating vocals.
Yeah i feel the same for Nightmares of the Decomposed. Surprisingly, its the only album I didn't like at all and the rest, i liked some songs and Haunted was the one I liked every single song from. Nightmares was also the year they blocked me on Facebook and Instagram, because of a random comment, not even making fun of Chris's vocals or music, but he took it wrong and blocked my ass on both. I dont know anymore if they are still on social media or im just blocked and will always be.
SFU kinda remind me of Type o negative, serious but not too serious! There is a lot of fun in their brand of death metal, and there’s no denying they are a standout in the genre, as for Barnes voice I kind of look at him as a chino or a serj, he’s kind of always been a outsider in the scene and done his own thing, and like chino and serj is instantly recognizable, which is difficult to achieve in the death metal genre,
I mean to be fair I could do vocals like the sound Jim Carry makes in Dumb and Dumber… it would certainly be recognizable… but it would still be terrible. Originality is great, but without proper execution it’s worth nothing. And vocals aside, I’d also argue that SFU have brought NOTHING to the game in terms of musicianship that had not been done better for many years.
@@MetalTrenches originality is great and you rarely hear it in the death metal genre, I disagree that they haven’t brought something different to the death genre, they to me are like the type o negative of death metal, serious but not serious,
@@MetalTrencheshow can you say Barnes doesn’t execute his vocals properly, he’s been doing that delivery consistently for many albums, it’s different and sets sfu apart from the rest, originality is great, you should embrace it alittle more instead of green lighting bands that have everything but originality
If you want a rating "tree" from someone who actually listened to the music when it was released, who isnt on any "how you have to see things bandwagon" the original Six Feet feeling that made thousands of folks buy tickets and be at awe with the singer when, treating him like a leader of a wolf pack, noone even thought about that a world in which he is laughed at could ever exist: Groovy Phase, Originall Phase: 1.Warpath(the swanrecord of the style, to be enjoyed when there are temperatures above 25 degrees C) 2.Maximum Violence 3.Haunted (summer music) 4.Bringer of Blood 5.Commandment 6.Death Rituals 7.Ture Carnage (summer music) Band was fired Phase, stylechange: i think the new record is the best of the bunch because the riffs are addicitve and chris sounds as if he was on that weird drug that the bikers in the nicolas cage movie took. besides that that sterile technical musician for hire thing turns me off big time(which of course cant be applied to oven) Barneses Voice is fantastic for fast but if you investigate into "why" you will maybe find out that his original lyrics rarely ever where conventionally delivered, most of the time in weird timings and signatures with words lasting for several bars. For instance hammer smashed. Sadly this approach cant be found yet on the technical six feet records i hope that i will someday hear that again.
EEEEEncrebile ranking Icarus! SFU aside (jokes aside lmao I'm so funny pls LAAUUGH) they're a meme, but a listenable one, i really enjoy Haunted, Maximum Violence, Undead and Unborn, and Commandment. Everything else, yeah, L shaped ranking is the best ranking.
I only found out about Six Feet Under through them being in the Summer Slaughter line up. I always thought Chris Barnes' vocals sounded like an orc doing too much pot, and I was correct.
Eeeeeeemcredible tier list I did an interview of the new one in my channel. 3/10. Pathetic songwriting, generic riffs and Barnes totally out of combat with his voice. I follow you since 7/8 months ago. Total respect from Buenos Aires Argentina
Music was always sub par. Saddens me a lot to think how good cannibal corpse was until he left. Chris will always be the greatest death metal vocalist ever!
I can't rank them because I stopped listening after Warpath, but I do remember liking Haunted and Warpath. I was learning to play guitar at the time so the basic riffs were fun and easy to play along with. Unsurprisingly, I wasn't really into death metal, so I had no real frame of reference. I was more of Thrash/Groove/Nu/Hardcore kid. I also remember writing a letter to them (and every other band whose CD I owned that had a mailing address) and Chris Barnes wrote me back with a very nice letter and a bunch of SFU stickers that I slapped all over my school binders. Unrelated to SFU, but I also wrote to Sepultura back then, but I guess Max Cavalera had control of the mailing address because I got a letter back telling me that Max was no longer in Sepultura and to check out his new band Soulfly when their album drops. 😂

All we need is a SFU cover of St. Anger.
Don't put it past them.
The world isn’t ready for that… 💀
The entire album, and slowed down to Allen West pace, so it’s like 90 minutes long.
Misericórdia
To be honest. I think st. Anger is better than the Most sfu stuff
The Ice T feature with the EEEEE appearing out of nowhere gets me every time. I always thought of this band as music made by someone who takes too much drugs, which is... exactly that.
Ice EEEEE
That’s literally what makes the song the EEEEEEEE outta no where fucking makes me laugh my ass off
That "eeeee" scream is an unique talent that should have never been showcased to the world 🤣 everytime I hear it I'm instantly laughing + cringing on behalf of everyone in the band like holy hell you put that out to the world with a straight face?
Nah. Lemmy and crew did meth, and they were fine.
Ice T making the most Ice T lyrics on a Six Feet Under song 😂
He did it, the absolute madman made it through the entire discography without losing all his braincells. respect
They can put me on an episode of that "I Survived" show.
Not so sure about the braincells, I mean, putting 4 late albums above Haunted... seems like a serious cereeeeebral eeeeeeenfection
Well its easy to do when these RUclipsrs only listen to snippets of each track and have metal archives as a guide lol. Pretty predictable if you ask me lol.
That EA e e e e clip had me fuckin rolling
You and me both bud lol
The fact that I love SFU proves the power that nostalgia holds over our musical tastes
I Like Six Feet Under!!! And i`m not ashamed of it!!!
Sucks to be you
You should
Respect 🫡.
I’m not man enough for it but wow
I'm a longtime Six Feet Under fan. Even though you're not, I still enjoy your content. To each their own brother!
🤘🏻
Carefully, dad joke included
How is MetalTrenches still alive after all SFU albums, he should be Six Feet Under
Hmmmm like the goat on the stage
Wow, having 13 higher than Haunted and Maximum Violence is a real hot take
This guy always has the hottest of takes. Literally
It’s got some nice riffs imo. Definitely not great or anything, but it’s fine imo.
Who would've thought the guy in the skull mask would have such shit takes on death metal.
@@moneenerd oof. It’s an opinion though lol
Yeah like what the fuck haunted is great beneath a black sky is a banger
I think Barnes should go grindcore, you can pretty much do whatever you want vocally, the death metal community has a strict rulebook
His vocals would be booty in grindcore too though.
@@Chicky_Lumps no way Jose
he sounds like one of impetigo's joke voices

😂
One massive L for Chris
Do a track by track analysis of all the graveyard classics albums.
I wish they picked better songs. Like imagine a SFU cover of “Achilles Last Stand” lol
Are you trying to kill me?
@@MetalTrenches yes

I disagree with your placement of Nightmares of the Decomposed, it's an S tier album.
Because it is so god damn funny
I really like SFU.
Me too ❤
The first three,Undead,Unborn and Crypt of the Devil are really good and proves the band has potentional. Guilty pleasure band
YEEEE EVERYBODY DROPPING SIX FEET UNDER HATE, LETS GOOOOO, WE ARE SO BACK
@Playerthegamer21Though they're still pretty fun and cathartic to listen to just for the sheer noise wall of it.
But yeah, they're terrible.
Haunted and Warpath are legitimately good albums, definitely can hear the Allen West guitar in them with them being very similar to Obituary at the time. Them two from 2012/13 written by Rob Arnold are also very solid and Barnes somehow doesn't sound too terrible.

Crypt of the devil has some great guitar work on it.
What?! Haunted is awesome!!
I guess some just find it too simplistic. But if you like straightforward simple groovy death metal, it's a great album
That album got me into death metal.

You're getting better and better at editing, man. Some of these clips had me in stitches!
I totally agree with unborn on top, however haunted and maximum violence should be higher.
Comedy gold
Started to take life seriously for 1/2 a second so came back for a rewatch.
I haven’t listened to some of the middle albums all the way through but the ones I have I mostly agree with your list.
1. Unborn
2. Undead
3. Haunted
4. Commandment
5. Crypt Of The Devil
6. Bringer Of Blood
7. Torment
8. Maximum Violence
9. Warpath
10. Death Rituals
11. Nightmares Of The Decomposed
12. Killing For Revenge
13. 13
14. True Carnage

Great comment man. I just personally don’t like Six Feet Under and view them as bottom of the barrel stuff, but glad you can find some enjoyment in them and I somewhat agree that the Graveyard Classic records are kinda funny bad.
Agree. The good will started disappearing with True Carnage. Up until that point, they were reasonably well liked and respected.
@@doomguyrox1156 Thank dude. That first one was a fun record. It wasn't so much laughing at it as it was laughing with it. Everybody knew most of those songs, and it was silly to hear them like THAT! Half the appeal then was it was just goofy fun! I think that's what they were going for. Like it was a fun mood lifter or sing along at parties. That feeling and perspective got lost in the long run, along with Barne's voice. Nobody needs either 2 or 4, those were ideas that would have worked at best then as a live one off. 3 tried to recapture it but his voice was gone and the vibe just wasn't the same.
@@lamentate07 True. That's when I checked out on them.
I'll die on the hill for bringer of blood and 13. They were a couple of my 1st death metal records so they hold a special spot in my heart. My main complaint with 13 is the overall sound feels so low. Like when i used to play it on my old I pod I had to have it near max just to get a decent sound.
Bringer of blood is probably funniest metal record ever made. Its stupid but in enjoyable way
I always refer the Crypt of the Devil album as
Six Feet Under the Cannabis Corpse.
Since that album was recorded with the current lineup of Cannabis Corpse at the time.
the time has come (eeeeee)
Wait but I kinda liked their TNT cover
i couldn't even get through ascension! I'll be damned if i listen to the rest. My god, the vocals and lyrics
Six Feet Under’s TNT cover is the funniest thing ever recorded
I was literally crying
I think early Jungle rot have a similar sound but much better, groovy, simple death
Six Feet Under Haunted is still a favourite album of mine,Barnes vocals are still in top form on that record and production is fantastic and has some killer riffs.After that album I kinda fell off
LIAR! You totally meant to have that shaped as an L, don't fool us, Icarus!
Great tier ranking, I never really got into SFU all that much and honestly, most definitely won't start now. Like you said, you did this so we didn't have to, and I think you for that, good sir!
I remember when Haunted came out when me and my friends were listening to everything from Korn, Tool, Fear Factory, RATM, Cradle of Filth, Moonspell you name it, we were blown away for some reason! It was like Nu Metal meets Death Metal or whatever you want to call it, who would have thunk back then that they'd release so many albums, hell, I had no idea they were still around until recently! 😅
something I do like from SFU is that some of there album covers look cool as hell
9:50 All I can think of is Mr. Burns going "We did twenty takes, and THAT was the best one." Holy shit what a trainwreck.
On the note of covers, the Cannibal Corpse with Chris Barnes cover of Black Sabbath’s Zero the Hero is hilariously awesome. Honestly, the original version of that song is pretty bad, so the decision to cover it and the goofiness is pretty fun.
There’s nothing goofy about it.
TBH i thought killing for revenge was an average album. but not good but not bad
Just before this starts…. I’m looking forward to seeing your categories. For e.g., I’m pretty sure the top one isn’t going to be “perfection” and I’m hoping the bottom category will be something like “catastrophic” or “traumatising”.
I like some songs of True Carnage, The EEEEs takes some of it away, but like impulse to disembowel and necrosociety they almost go into slam metal territory.
Funny how I admired Chris' vocals when I was 12 and laughed my ass off when I first heard John Tardy. These days the cringe of more than 2 minutes of SFU is more than I can take and I'll rather vibe to Obituary.
I bought bringer of blood the week it came out. I liked it, i still kind of do. It might have something to do with the fact that I paid cash forma disk lol
Yeah our brains do a lot of rationalizing when we've already paid for something.
@MetalTrenches especially because at the time I would have been like 13, so cash was hard to come by lol
I love it when people rip on this band. Especially Chris's vocals!😂😂😂 This was actually my favorite metal band back in 2000-2001 when I was just getting into metal until I discovered Fear Factory. I bought all their albums up to Commandment, then stopped listening to them. Kinda glad I did. Lol. When I Heard those Eeee screams on True Carnage I was like, WTF? My best friend at the time laughed his ass off at 'em. My favorite album from them is actually Bringer of Blood, but Maximum Violence will always hold a place in my heart. I remember listening to this in 01 on summer vacation from Highschool over and over again. Fun times!
I'm an old school metalhead who started listening to death metal in the early 90's, and I have to agree that Undead and Unborn are better than Haunted. Haunted is really good, but it's basically Obituary with Barnes on vocals. I actually prefer Warpath.
Torment has some really neat ideas at times, almost progressive, but Barnes' vocals sound shot. Crypt of the Devil is underrated. The busier arrangements help somewhat disguise his deteriorating vocals.
Unborn is a masterpiece, all wrong doings forgiven with Unborn being a masterclass in groovy headbanging death metal brilliance
This song with ice t really sounds like meme of sfu.
Yeah i feel the same for Nightmares of the Decomposed. Surprisingly, its the only album I didn't like at all and the rest, i liked some songs and Haunted was the one I liked every single song from.
Nightmares was also the year they blocked me on Facebook and Instagram, because of a random comment, not even making fun of Chris's vocals or music, but he took it wrong and blocked my ass on both. I dont know anymore if they are still on social media or im just blocked and will always be.
Undead is pretty good for a Six feet under album. It was written mostly by Rob from Chimara.
chimara sucks ass, ive got a shitstormbrakerjacket on
Dude, please do Revocation!
I still need to hear them. That’d be awesome though.
SFU kinda remind me of Type o negative, serious but not too serious! There is a lot of fun in their brand of death metal, and there’s no denying they are a standout in the genre, as for Barnes voice I kind of look at him as a chino or a serj, he’s kind of always been a outsider in the scene and done his own thing, and like chino and serj is instantly recognizable, which is difficult to achieve in the death metal genre,
I mean to be fair I could do vocals like the sound Jim Carry makes in Dumb and Dumber… it would certainly be recognizable… but it would still be terrible. Originality is great, but without proper execution it’s worth nothing. And vocals aside, I’d also argue that SFU have brought NOTHING to the game in terms of musicianship that had not been done better for many years.
@@MetalTrenches originality is great and you rarely hear it in the death metal genre, I disagree that they haven’t brought something different to the death genre, they to me are like the type o negative of death metal, serious but not serious,
@@MetalTrencheshow can you say Barnes doesn’t execute his vocals properly, he’s been doing that delivery consistently for many albums, it’s different and sets sfu apart from the rest, originality is great, you should embrace it alittle more instead of green lighting bands that have everything but originality
Haunted is by far their best album, and one for my favorite albums from that year....I am visibly angry right now.
If you want a rating "tree" from someone who actually listened to the music when it was released, who isnt on any "how you have to see things bandwagon" the original Six Feet feeling that made thousands of folks buy tickets and be at awe with the singer when, treating him like a leader of a wolf pack, noone even thought about that a world in which he is laughed at could ever exist:
Groovy Phase, Originall Phase:
1.Warpath(the swanrecord of the style, to be enjoyed when there are temperatures above 25 degrees C)
2.Maximum Violence
3.Haunted (summer music)
4.Bringer of Blood
5.Commandment
6.Death Rituals
7.Ture Carnage (summer music)
Band was fired Phase, stylechange:
i think the new record is the best of the bunch because the riffs are addicitve and chris sounds as if he was on that weird drug that the bikers in the nicolas cage movie took.
besides that that sterile technical musician for hire thing turns me off big time(which of course cant be applied to oven)
Barneses Voice is fantastic for fast but if you investigate into "why" you will maybe find out that his original lyrics rarely ever where conventionally delivered, most of the time in weird timings and signatures with words lasting for several bars.
For instance hammer smashed. Sadly this approach cant be found yet on the technical six feet records i hope that i will someday hear that again.
Maximum Violence is their best imo
I don’t mind the occasional cover but def don’t need the graveyard classics albums
Infiltration - Extinct.
Best SFU album for sure!
You're a funny dude. Funniest metal channel ever.
I have a soft spot for Haunted. It's got a fun Obituary style groove. But after that, I jump off.
EEEEEncrebile ranking Icarus!
SFU aside (jokes aside lmao I'm so funny pls LAAUUGH) they're a meme, but a listenable one, i really enjoy Haunted, Maximum Violence, Undead and Unborn, and Commandment.
Everything else, yeah, L shaped ranking is the best ranking.
many many chuckles at the IT crowd reaction. Possibly even guffaws.
Six Feet Under are the Trapt of death metal
I only found out about Six Feet Under through them being in the Summer Slaughter line up. I always thought Chris Barnes' vocals sounded like an orc doing too much pot, and I was correct.
Glad Ola stepped away from SFU and became a great RUclipsr.
I love Six Feet Under honestly I just fuck with how simple it is lmao
Eeeeeeemcredible tier list I did an interview of the new one in my channel. 3/10. Pathetic songwriting, generic riffs and Barnes totally out of combat with his voice. I follow you since 7/8 months ago. Total respect from Buenos Aires Argentina
I absolutely hate this band so this mostly negative tier list was a joy to watch
Wow, you actually listened to all of these
So it begins
Music was always sub par. Saddens me a lot to think how good cannibal corpse was until he left. Chris will always be the greatest death metal vocalist ever!
They were good up until 2016 when they thought turning judas priest and iron maiden songs into death metal, but they're back to being good in 2024
The time haaaassss come!!!
Yeah pretty close to my thoughts. Eeeeeeeeeee
Me: Hey Chris Barnes What’s your favorite Enslaved album?
Chris Barnes: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Honestly, the only truly good song on their latest album is "Fit of Carnage" in my opinion🤷🏾
I can't rank them because I stopped listening after Warpath, but I do remember liking Haunted and Warpath. I was learning to play guitar at the time so the basic riffs were fun and easy to play along with. Unsurprisingly, I wasn't really into death metal, so I had no real frame of reference. I was more of Thrash/Groove/Nu/Hardcore kid. I also remember writing a letter to them (and every other band whose CD I owned that had a mailing address) and Chris Barnes wrote me back with a very nice letter and a bunch of SFU stickers that I slapped all over my school binders.
Unrelated to SFU, but I also wrote to Sepultura back then, but I guess Max Cavalera had control of the mailing address because I got a letter back telling me that Max was no longer in Sepultura and to check out his new band Soulfly when their album drops. 😂
Hate all you want- I STILL love SFU. Chris does what he wants and doesn’t give a $h!T about the hate.
Warpath is my favorite
