BY MARC WEISBAUNI Statevsman Staff_ I remember when Six Feet Under first got together. When the band first formed, it was initially a side-project of Obituary guitarist, Alien West, and then- frontman, . was recruited to play bass following stints with Death and, later, Massacre. The final piece fell into place with drummer , the only member not to have any other band stigma attached to him. With every member being a staple on the Florida scene, everybody knew what to expect, but Six: Feet Under climbed up (pun intended) above all expectations. Personally, I expected more of West's catchy guitar lines, but I was already quite happy with Obituary. The only difference I foresaw was Barnes' vocal delivery instead of Obi's John Tardy. The only problem is I have always found Barnes to be quite overrated and very cliche. I was incredibly surprised, and I wasn't alone. The band's debut, Haunted, was death metal at its finest - mid to fast-paced 'rhoto / Metal Bla(ce songs with the chainsaw riftfing being accentuated by Chris Barnes' much Six Feet Under improved vocals and lyrics.

Ironically, Barnes' post- material for two, West also busied from any previous efforts, the perfect other genres instead of just the usual. Cannibal Corpse work easily surpasses all himself in the recording of an all-new example being "Animal Instinct," though West's guitar bleeds out notes for Barnes of his work with them, save for about three Obituary album, Back From the Dead, some of the lyrics are a bit redundant (i.e. to wretch out his pleas to "break free."
