Next To Die marks a new creative high for Six Feet Under, Next to Die’s dozen songs marking the band’s 15th album since 1995’s Haunted. “It started out as an album full of death metal songs with speed and aggression,” says guitarist Jack Owen. “Then Chris had the brilliant idea to keep half of those death metal songs and add some groovier songs in the vein of the early Six Feet Under material. Chris emphasized tempo, so keeping with the beats per minute for early SFU classics, I wrote a side of tasty groove-laden music with Chris doing all the lyrics.” The creative collaborative approach sees Next to Die essentially broken down into two different sides, Death and Groove, resulting in an aural masterwork that satisfies Six Feet Under as artists, while also offering something for every fan. Next to Die, produced by Jack Owen and singer Chris Barnes and mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis of MRL Studios, Nashville, follows 2024’s Killing for Revenge. It’s the third record that Barnes and Owen (ex-Cannibal Corpse) have created together since reuniting in 2017. 180G. Tracklist: Tracklist not available yet.
