The swamp of death metal rises again.
Brutal Planet Records is unleashing four crushing releases connected by one legendary voice—Chris Barnes of Six Feet Under and former Cannibal Corpse frontman.
This wave of releases includes two Six Feet Under cult classics and the infamous Torture Killer collaboration album Swarm!—the record where Barnes joined the band behind the microphone. Together, these titles celebrate some of the heaviest, most groove-laden death metal ever recorded.
All four titles are part of the Brutal Planet Records Metal Icon Series and will be available exclusively through Boone’s Overstock, the official store for Brutal Planet.
Six Feet Under – Graveyard Classics
Bloody-Gold Vinyl – $34.95 SALE
When Six Feet Under released Graveyard Classics, the band proved that death metal could pay tribute to the songs that shaped heavy music while still sounding absolutely devastating. Led by the unmistakable growl of Chris Barnes, the album drags legendary songs from metal, punk, and hard rock into the swampy, groove-driven world of death metal.
From the crushing opening of Savatage’s “Holocaust” to brutal reinterpretations of classics by AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Dead Kennedys, Venom, Exodus, and Jimi Hendrix, the album transforms iconic tracks into something darker, heavier, and unmistakably Six Feet Under.
For the first time ever, Graveyard Classics receives a worldwide retail vinyl release, pressed on Bloody-Gold Vinyl and mastered specifically for vinyl by Badland Recordings.
Limited to 500 copies worldwide.
Torture Killer – Swarm!
Rotting Amber Vinyl – $34.95
Few death-metal stories come full circle quite like Torture Killer.
Originally formed in Finland as a band performing Six Feet Under covers, Torture Killer eventually caught the attention of Chris Barnes himself—who stepped in to handle vocals on their 2006 album Swarm!
Released through Metal Blade Records, the album delivers ten tracks of crushing, groove-driven death metal and quickly became a cult favorite among fans of Barnes’ signature vocal brutality.
Now, 20 years later, Swarm! returns for its first-ever worldwide retail vinyl pressing, issued as a 20th Anniversary Edition on exclusive Rotting Amber Vinyl.
Limited to 250 copies worldwide.
Torture Killer – Swarm!
20th Anniversary CD – $13.95 SALE
Alongside the vinyl edition, Swarm! also returns as a 20th Anniversary CD release.
Remastered by Badland Recordings and packaged in a jewel case with a 16-page booklet, this edition gives fans a fresh opportunity to experience one of the most unique collaborations in death metal history—when the voice of Six Feet Under joined forces with a band that started out performing his songs.
Limited to 500 copies worldwide.
