SIX FEET UNDER's Chris Barnes Talks About The Importance Of Supporting The Local Metal Scenes - Video Interview Filmed During The "18 Nights Of Blood Tour"!

With nationwide speculation that the zombie apocalypse is officially upon us, it would only seem appropriate for SIX FEET UNDER's "18 Nights Of Blood Tour" to be taking souls all over North America! The near three-week run of live rituals continues tonight in Portland, Oregon and will be coming to a close on the band's home turf of Tampa, Florida. Blood has been spilled, faces have been eaten and brains have definitely been devoured! No one is safe. For this epic tour, SIX FEET UNDER recruited rhythm guitarist Ola Englund who took the place of ex-Chimaira guitaris Rob Arnold (who retired from touring). Support is provided by Dying Fetus and Revocation.

Here is a video interview we conducted with SIX FEET UNDER's vocalist and Death Metal pioneer Chris Barnes, filmed right before his band took center stage at their monstrous show at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York. During the interview, Barnes explains the production process and the concept behind 'Undead' and talks about the bands recent lineup changes. He also discusses the 30 years of Metal Blade Records and the importance of supporting the local Metal scenes. Crank it up and thanks for watching!

SIX FEET UNDER: "18 Nights Of Blood Tour" To Be Ignited Tonight!

With nationwide speculation that the zombie apocalypse is officially upon us, it would only seem appropriate for SIX FEET UNDER's "18 Nights Of Blood Tour" to commence this Friday! The near three-week run of live rituals will begin today (June 8th) in Atlanta, Georgia and cannibalize its way across the U.S. coming to a close on the band's home turf of Tampa, Florida. Blood shall be spilled, faces eaten and brains devoured! No one is safe. SIX FEET UNDER will be joined by newly recruited rhythm guitarist Ola Englund who takes the place of Rob Arnold (who retired from touring). Support will be provided by Dying Fetus and Revocation.

The band will be touring in support of 'Undead', their latest installment of misanthropic brutality, which toppled Billboard charts upon its first week of release. ('Undead' entered the Heatseekers Chart at #, #30 on the Top Independent Album Chart, #22 on the Top Hard Music Albums Chart, #14 on the Top Current Albums Chart and #183 on the Top 200 Chart!). Critical lauded by fans and media alike, Decibel Magazine dubbed the record "the best thing SFU have recorded since 'Maximum Violence'," while Terrorizer commended the offering noting," …this is truly an unearthly noise and glorious in its heaving absurdity." Outburn agreed calling 'Undead', "an album on which this NEW level of musicianship adds value without tarnishing SIX FEET UNDER's legacy of brutality." Added MetalSucks thoughtfully: "What makes 'Undead' work is a balance between the tooth grinding intensity of its blasts and the bone-strewn muck of its down-tempo bits."

'Undead' was unleashed to North American ears via Metal Blade on May 22 and offers an 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).

The Decibel Magazine Tour In Columbus, OH Moved To NEW Location Due To Religious Beliefs - Statement From Nergal Available!

The highly anticipated inaugural Decibel Magazine tour kicks off in a mere eight days in Columbus, OH. It wasn't too late, however, for the venue owners to prohibit the bands from appearing at The Brewmaster's Gate. Behemoth, Watain, The Devil's Blood, and In Solitude are being forbidden from playing at the venue because of religious conflicts with the venue owners. These bands are no strangers to this type of treatment, and a NEW venue has already been confirmed. The Columbus, OH show will now be at Al Rosa. Tickets for this show are still available and can be purchased HERE.

Behemoth's front man, Nergal, comments further: "Wow, big motherfuckin' WOW! We are facing a legendary moment: Amerika, the land of the free, is banning Behemoth coz of religious beliefs. The madness starts in Ohio, but of korz we are playing anyway. Nothing can stop us now. God, please save me from this freedom…"

The inaugural Decibel Magazine Tour will feature not just the long-awaited stateside return of Polish blackened Death Metal overlords Behemoth, but support from Swedish Black Metal provocateurs Watain, Dutch prog mystics the Devil's Blood and Swedish old-school occultists In Solitude. The official tour video trailer can be seen below, thanks to Metal Blade TV.



Beginning on April 11th and laying waste through a gargantuan 26-date run, the Decibel Magazine Tour (presented by Metal Blade Records, IndieMerchStore.com, FYE, ESP Guitars and Good Fight Entertainment) not only offers four diverse European artists hand-picked by the magazine, but doubles as Behemoth's first U.S. tour since vocalist/guitarist Adam "Nergal" Darski's well-documented battle with and triumph over leukemia.
