Six Feet Under True Carnage CD

List All Reviews

 Try "Maximum Violence" first..
this album was just not as good as the previous ones.. the riffs are not at catchy.. (maybe that was the idea though..)but when I say catchy, I mean catchy in a very brutal, gutteral, put your fist through a wall sort of way.. there is a song with Karen Crisis singing back up on it and I think that one is my fave on this new album: "sick and twisted", and yes.. Ice-T does appear on one song but it's great.. really great..if you are old enough to remember how rad Body Count was on Lollapalooza.. it's a pretty bad ass song and you will dig it.. however, like I said, this is not the best Six Feet Under cd.. I would start with "Maximum Violence" and then "Haunted" and then what everyone thinks to be the best SFU "Warpath" if you have not heard them yet. Personally, "Warpath" is all most TOO catchy.. but it is excellent.. and so are all the others.. I am sure that once you get into the other SFU cds.. this new album will become essential to your collection though..I think they are an EXCELLENT Death Metal band and DEFFINITLY one of my TOP EVER faves of the genere..did I mention the lead singer was the original lead singer of Cannibal Corpse? Chris Barnes!

 did that dude say the intensity was turned down?
if you like the heavy crunching guitar riffs and chris barnes super deep growling vocals then this is the cd you need to pick up. this cd simply destroys the all covers album graveyard classics. six feet unders original music simply destroys the cover versions of ac/dc, hendrix and armored saint. six feet under on this cd returned to the chunky heavy sound and gore soaked lyrics. guest singers like ice-t and karen crisis was a bold move that i thought totally worked for this album. chris barnes continues to amaze with his vocals, steve swanson and terry butler lay down the heaviness on the strings and greg gall proves death metal drummers can still shred without breaking the speed limit with their arms and feet.

 Back Again To Kill And Gut!!!!
Since 1995 sfu has been terrorizing the death metal "scene". Each effort always better then the last. While true carnage doesnt make quite the impact as maximum violence(thier best IMHO) it doesnt fall short of metal greatness either. Ive been listening to sfu and enjoying thier hardcore and brutal approach towards metal since haunted. As for true carnage it is overall a great album in my opinion and chris barnes and company dont own anybody a damn thing. The high points of the album are impulse to disembowel, the murders, and sick and twisted. Their is no real weak link on this album. As far as Ice T being on the album I think it's actually inventive and the track its self is impressive. Korn had Ice T play on a song? Ya well So did slayer on the judgement night soundtrack, I believe the song was called "disorder". I dont think chris and crew have sold out for trying something new, One bullet left is brutal. Besides Cannibal Corpse had a girl as a guest appearance, Tori amos on "stripped Raped and strangled". I dont think anyone can question SFU's integrity and I like to see them trying new things. Remember to keep an open mind when listening to death metal!!! If you dont have Maximum Violence yet though get that one first. Anyways as far as the cd goes ignore the haters and get this wicked, cruel and evil to the core cd nooow!!! Any self respecting SFU fan cant live without it :)

Right, that's it! wow, big deal true carnage has a rapper on it oooohhhh scary. I'm sorry but can't anyone see that Chris has made progress. Would anyone rather he still pelted out the same , albeit excellent, death metal he was 13 years ago, or take death metal to meet new styles and become hybrid at new levels.
