Six Feet Under is a death metal band from Tampa, Florida, formed in 1993. The current members include founding vocalist Chris Barnes, bassist Jeff Hughell, drummer Marco Pitruzzella, and guitarists Ray Suhy and Jack Owen. Originally a side project for Barnes and guitarist Allen West from Obituary, it became a full-time band after Barnes left Cannibal Corpse in 1995. The band has released 14 albums and is one of the best-selling death metal acts in the U. S.
The band began in 1993 with members Chris Barnes and Allen West, later adding Terry Butler and Greg Gall. They performed mostly cover songs initially and started writing original material in 1994. They released their first album, Haunted, on September 1, 1995, produced by Brian Slagel and Scott Burns. After Barnes was fired from Cannibal Corpse for prioritizing Six Feet Under, he made the band his main focus.
Following their first album, they released the Alive and Dead EP in 1996 and their second studio album, Warpath, in 1997, which featured a mix of death metal and death n roll. In 1998, West left the band, replaced by Steve Swanson, marking a significant lineup change. Their third studio album, Maximum Violence, came out on July 13, 1999, featuring covers of Kiss and Iron Maiden songs.
The band released an all-covers album, Graveyard Classics, in 2000, followed by their fourth studio album, True Carnage, in 2001, which included guest artists like Ice-T. They toured extensively in the early 2000s and released the Bringer of Blood album in 2003, showcasing Barnes’ varied vocal styles.
In 2004, they released Graveyard Classics 2, focusing on the AC/DC album Back in Black. The sixth studio album, 13, was released in 2005. A Decade in the Grave, a multi-disc box set, followed in 2005. The band continued to release albums through the years, including Commandment in 2007 and Death Rituals in 2008.
In the 2010s, the band saw more lineup changes, releasing Undead in 2012 and Unborn in 2013. They put out Crypt of the Devil in 2015 and Graveyard Classics IV in 2016. The album Torment was released in 2017 but received mixed reviews.
