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.”

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:
SIX
FEET UNDER will return to European stages this June with support from
Embryonic Autopsy. In July, the band will kick off a North American

I don't like people whom don't respect the metal genres, or ME following me on or offline, stalking or menacing me, any obsessions, or neighbors looking to fight, or make a delusional conspiracy theory out of nothing, so I will take legal action to define a boundary with posers and bullies. These bullies are NOT allowed at our or any metal shows.

All videos and music featured on ITP come straight from the labels and bands official YOU TUBE, VIMEO, SOUNDCLOUD and BANDCAMP accounts (I hope they go viral), under fair use, all rights reserved to the artists and labels, courtesy of the bands and labels.
ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.020/21s TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.020/21 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music.
ITP REVIEWS are independent of record labels and others, record labels nor anyone can not censor ITP reviews, making a distinction between Public Relations, advertising as reviews are independent via ITP and have to be independent of record labels..
Censorship regarding issues of denial will NOT be tolerated from anyone nor individuals, sites, as they will be legally liable for slander and defamation of character in a lawsuit.
ITP is NOT associated with DEATH (Although I'm a fan) ITP V.020 is NOT a DEATH fan site, as ITP V.021 is a extreme metal news portal/blog for and about extreme metal.
ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS.
SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself
BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?.
BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond.
A couple of issues I would like to address:
ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you.
ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like.
It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful.
ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox.
I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. .
ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal..
There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist.
A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues.
Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right.
ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal.
ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/
