SIX FEET UNDER: POST VIDEO FOR "MISTER BLOOD AND GUTS"

 May be an image of text

 SIX FEET UNDER have posted a video for  "MISTER BLOOD AND GUTS", a track from the bands anticipated new release  "NEXT TO DIE",  unleashed 4/24/2026 via METAL BLADE RECORDS. 


 

 

 

 

FROM SIX FEET UNDER:

SIX FEET UNDER Presents “Mutilated Corpse In The Woods” Video/Single From Forthcoming Next To Die Full-Length
Watch/stream SIX FEET UNDER’s “Mutilated Corpse In The Woods” HERE.
“Mutilated Corpse In The Woods” is the newest single from American death metal legends SIX FEET UNDER. The track appears on their forthcoming new full-length, Next To Die, set for release on April 24th via Metal Blade Records.
Comments guitarist Jack Owen, “This song started when my wife and I were in an antique store and she found an amber quartz pendant that had lines through the whole thing. I asked her what it was and she said it's a Rutilated Quartz. Well, that's all I needed for a title and some lyrical ideas. The chorus came easy. The verses were from a true crime show where a woman described being attacked by an assailant who tied her to a tree and slit her throat. She couldn't speak or scream. In real life she survived the attack, telling her story with a giant scar across her throat. In this song, unfortunately she did not survive... My killer buried her where she will never be found. I wrote the music from scratch around the lyrical ideas.”
Watch SIX FEET UNDER’s lyric video for “Mutilated Corpse In The Woods” HERE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmXSZBIbQVI
Watch a visualizer for “Unmistakable Smell Of Death” HERE.
Next To Die marks a new creative high for SIX FEET UNDER, its dozen songs marking the band’s fifteenth album since 1995’s Haunted. The record is 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. To bring the songs to brutal life, vocalist Chris Barnes recorded his vocals at the legendary Criteria Recording Studios in Miami. “I’ve recorded 90% of my vocals for SIX FEET UNDER there with my longtime friend and engineer Chris Carroll,” says Barnes. “Criteria has a long and rich history of recording some of the most famous and important albums in the history of music. I feel very comfortable working there.”
Produced by Owens and Barnes and mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis of MRL Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, Next To Die follows 2024’s Killing For Revenge and is the third record that Barnes and Owen have created together since reuniting in 2017.
Barnes titled the record after the song “Next to Die,” as it “best represents what is contained within the ideas/storylines of the lyrics of each song. We don’t discuss lyrical themes, we each write what we’re feeling and find interesting.” The frontman urges close listening, saying, “that’s the great thing about music and art and reading. It takes you on an exploration into your own imagination, and that personal experience lets you discover what you think the meaning is. Having someone tell you what it means takes away that magic.”
SIX FEET UNDER was initially formed as a side project for Barnes during his final years with the band that he co-founded, Cannibal Corpse. It became the frontman’s sole focus in 1995, coinciding with the release of their debut, Haunted. The current lineup of Barnes, Owen, lead guitarist Ray Suhy, bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Marco Pitruzzella make for a devastating unit.
Next To Die features the cover art of Sandy Rezalmi and will be released on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:
180g Black (US)
Red w/ Black Smoke (US)
Bone Brown Marbled (EU – Ltd. 500)
Blue Grey Marbled (EU – Ltd. 300)
Blood Splatter (EU – Ltd. 300)
Bone White Green Splatter (EU – Ltd. 200)
