Six Feet Under (band)

After leaving his previous band, Cannibal Corpse, vocalist Chris Barnes went to focus on his other side project, Six Feet Under. With him, he recruited guitarist Allen West from Obituary, Terry Butler from Death and drummer Greg Gall. In 1998, Allen West left and was replaced by Steve Swanson from Massacre. Compared to Chris' previous band, Cannibal Corpse, the band's music was slower and groovier in the vein of Obituary. They are also known for their covers of other heavy metal bands, playing them in their own style.

The band provides examples of the following tropes:


 * Cover Album: 3 albums under the Graveyard Classics moniker, with the second being a cover of ACDC's entire Back In Black album.
 * Death Metal
 * Face of the Band: Chris Barnes.
 * I Am the Band: Again, Chris Barnes.
 * Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness: Can shift between 8 and 10.
 * Narm: Chris' high-pitched squeals probably qualify as being this.
 * They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Many Corpse-era Barnes fans would say this due to the lyrics being less gory and the music being slower.
