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.
