Legendary death metal unit, SIX FEET UNDER, will release their eleventh studio recording this spring via Metal Blade Records. Titled ”Crypt Of The Devil”, the ten track slab of audio violence was composed by vocalist Chris Barnes and Cannabis Corpse bassist/vocalist Phil “Landphil” Hall. While on tour with Cannabis Corpse in 2013, Barnes and Hall met and kept in touch. Barnes would later lend his vocals to a track on Cannabis Corpse’s “From Wisdom To Baked”. That same year, Hall and Barnes joined forces to pen brand new SIX FEET UNDER tracks. Barnes lauds Hall's take on the SIX FEET UNDER style of death metal and stated that this material was, “where my wheelhouse is - it's where I thrive vocally and lyrically.”

With ”Crypt Of The Devil”, Barnes has worked to continue the overall story from the previous works, wherein he is penning lyrics from the perspective of a serial killer. Or as Barnes describes, it's a “winding journey through his mind. The songs paint a picture that's not necessarily linear, rather a meandering back and forth through a dark soul.” Soon-to-be-classic cuts such as “Open Coffin Orgy” serve as exemplary examples of the fruits of Barnes' macabre muse.
