Drama Alert: CATTLE DECAPITATION Cancel New York City Appearance After A Fist Fight With Members Of SIX FEET UNDER!

CATTLE DECAPITATION has apparently dropped off the SIX FEET UNDER tour following some drama between their vocalist Travis Ryan and SIX FEET UNDER's Chris Barnes.

Ryan had the following to say via Facebook:

"Chris Barnes is a fucking hack. I've personally passed on at least five Six Feet tours over the last 8 or so years because he pulls so much nonsense on the support bands because his ego is astronomical. We're leaving the Chris Barnes Show tour today. Go to the Chris Barnes show and buy some of their merch. They need it desperately.

"He couldn't handle the fact that we were destroying him nightly on merch and talked shit about us on stage last night. I went to confront him about that and he sucker punched me as I was talking. He immediately RAN out the door and fled to his bus like he does every night when the two fans that are left for their show are trying to get him to sign something.

"We're leaving because we have no interest in bringing more people to the Chris Barnes show. There was no "fight". He punched me, RAN away and a few people saw it. I just walked out told his tour manager the deal, wrapped up the merch and left.

"Just don't go to the show and please get the word out. Cattle Decapitation is not doing this tour as we no longer wish to bring peole to his show. Cuz its HIS show. More than enough people have drilled that fact into us.

"He says: "what about showing some respect" I laughed, said "respect?" And proceeded to tell him about the time where he spent all night with me outside their bus @ the tail end of the Butchered At Birth Tour in 93 and that respect was paid long ago and he's since proved to the Metal world how much of a bitch he is… I got "dude, in 1993…" In there and he punched me as I was talking. Ran out the door and seriously thinks he's a bad ass still? Hahaha…

"Here's how Chris Barnes works: punches. Runs. Does the Rocky dance like he's a badass on his tour bus he's about to not fuckin afford."

For his part, Barnes had the following to say via Twitter: "If you eat tofu you'll get you're ass kicked in a fight. #knocked out"

SIX FEET UNDER's "The Autumn Apocalypse" With CATTLE DECAPITATION Is Coming For The U.S.

It has been announced that SIX FEET UNDER will be embarking on on a headlining tour this Fall. The Chris-Barnes-named "Autumn Apocalypse Tour" will also feature label mates CATTLE DECAPITATION as well as WRETCHED. The tour will occur throughout the first half of November, with the full routing available below.

SIX FEET UNDER, led by the inimitable Chris Barnes, possessor of one of the most dominant and instantly recognizable voices of the Death Metal genre. Now featuring Barnes alongside NEW guitarist Ola Englund, longtime guitarist Steve Swanson, new bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Kevin Talley, whose history blasting for Dying Fetus, Misery Index, and Chimaira speaks for itself, SIX FEET UNDER 2012 finds the band reinvigorated and churning out some of the most visceral, in-your-face, and downright horrifying tunes in their renowned discography of brutality both, lyrically and musically. Decibel Magazine said it best in their review for 'Undead': "this is the best thing SFU have recorded since Maximum Violence… [Chris Barnes] hasn't sounded this focused or committed in years." Listen and order HERE.

CATTLE DECAPITATION's 11-track album, 'Monolith Of Inhumanity', is an achievement that stands out as one of the most volatile, ambitious, and impossible-to-pigeonhole records of 2012. Commended by Stereokiller in an early review for being "their most focused and intelligent album yet… this is another solid CATTLE DECAP release that proves again that they are not to be fucked with," and noted for being >"arguably the quartet's strongest effort to date," by Blistering, the record was produced by Dave Otero of Denver's Flatline Audio and finds the progressive grind conjurers exploring innovative NEW techniques in song writing without abandoning their signature formula of confrontational audio wreckage. Make also sure to check out the band's latest video, the cinematic sickness entitled "Kingdom Of Tyrants" HERE!
