Today premier horror portal Bloody Disgusting hosts the
latest “18 Days” lyric video from death metal merchants, SIX FEET UNDER.
The apocalyptic hymn comes off the band’s forthcoming new studio effort, Undead,
set for North American release on May 22, 2012 through Metal
Blade Records.
Notorious for his elegiac themes of murder, death and the
supernatural, on Undead vocalist and lyrical mastermind Chris
Barnes revisits topics that will be familiar to fans of the band, though
as always he brings something new to the table, aware that their followers will
not accept recycled ideas. Notes Barnes: “The hypocrisies of daily life, things
that affect us that spawn aggression, loneliness, sadness, there’s a lot of
emotions going on across the record, and I guess that the dark horror that
humans cause is my niche,”
However, while Barnes has a very clear vision for
his craft, he is always excited by the interpretations of his songs by those
who listen to them, feeding on the emotional investment they put in. “I love it
when people tell me what they’ve got from the music and the lyrics. It’s like
being an artist, you put the painting up on the wall – you know
what it is, but sometimes it’s a little abstract and someone sees something
else in it, and that’s the biggest compliment to me. That I’m able to get
inside someone’s head and they actually give thought to something presented to
them is inspiring to me too, and something I always want to be able to do with
this band.”

Undead was produced by Mark Lewis (Deicide,
Devildriver), mixed by Jason Suecof (Whitechapel, Job For A Cowboy), at Audio
Hammer Studios in Sanford, Florida and features the updated lineup of Barnes
alongside guitarist Rob Arnold (ex- Chimaira), longtime guitarist Steve Swanson
(ex-Massacre), bassist Jeff Hughell (ex-Brain Drill, ex-Vile), and drummer
Kevin Talley (Dying Fetus, Misery Index, Chimaira). Last week Metal Blade TV
aired an exclusive interview with Barnes as conducted by Metal Blade CEO Brian
Slagel. To check out the interview, as well as first single,
