Buried Metal

Six Feet Under? What is this, a traveling version of the HBO series about a family that works at a funeral home? Is this a family affair? Well, not quite, unless your idea of a wholesome time is to spend the night with Chris Barnes, former mouthpiece for gross-out kings Cannibal Corpse, who fronts Six Feet Under. The author of such classic death-metal gems as "Entrails Ripped Through a Virgin's Cunt" and "Fucked With a Knife" has the warm and wooly presence of embalming fluid. And, though Barnes' lyrics completely lack introspection, his obsession with violence has become so pronounced that the music takes on a surreal, almost hallucinatory intensity. With Brazil's Krisiun, L.A.'s Abysmal Dawn, and Poland's Decapitated joining Barnes and crew on tour, it's like the United Nations of death metal.

Krisiun keeps death alive.
