These lads about to release their 14th Record. Unbelievable really. Don't know what it is about them though, as awful as they are on paper here and there they hit the spot for me, a true guilty pleasure. Though admittedly the albums that hit the spot are Warpath and Haunted. Can't recall anything recent from them being any good.
Two more bits, the promo pic of Chris Barnes and Jack Owen there is hilarious. And Vince Locke has done the artwork for this one, which managed to be a disappointment. Easily as bad as any of the shite he churns out for Cannibal Corpse, thought some element of his older style might've been resurrected.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Saw the artwork the other day and thought it was good. Definitely an improvement from the last album. Haven't listened to SFU in years but I would still be well up for a gig if they played here.
Defo recommend them live, seen them a few times. It's just good craic, especially when they bust out some of the covers.
I saw them once at Wacken in 2006 and it was good. I would love to see them indoor here only playing material from the first few albums. As I mentioned on here before that gig back in the Voodoo Lounge in 2005 if it had of gone ahead would have been great.
Seen them at a few festivals but I've also seen them indoors doing their own show and it's definitely where to see them. A Whelans or Dolans gig would be amazing.
Artwork is cool. Much better than any CC artwork post- The Bleeding. SFU are bad though .
They are bad, but possibly so bad they're good no?
No.
I like six feet under...its harmless stuff and a bit of craic...

Old man grunts at cloud.
Jesus he got old. Sounds better than I expected though.
He looks pretty wrecked! wow...... guess the drugs don't work!
Like a hobo randomly taking to the stage for death metal karaoke!
Looks like Captain Birdseye got fed up of selling fish fingers.
I Cum Dust
I didn't know Jack Owen was with them now. That's pretty cool to be fair. Together with Barnes they did write some killer songs with Corpse. They should try get Bob Russay on board for the craic. I'd say Alex and Paul from Corpse wouldn't like that ha ha
Expected it to be shite tbh!,not bad!
Ah good for them. I'll always have time for Barnes, he is a living legend. Easy to forget how horrific the lyrics in TOTM are for instance. Or his vocals on Butchered at Birth. He's old now, but who isn't.
You won't get Rusay back from the golf course.

Barnes looks like an auld lad struggling to get his fibre tablets down.
He's a hero of mine most of my life and I won't hear a word said against him but fuck me lads, hes only 57! what in jaysus name happened him?
Was obsessed with him and CC as a young teen back in the day.Tomb of the mutilated was one of the first DM albums I ever bought so always had a soft spot for him.

yea, he'd be around the same age as the lads in corpse. Perhaps the rock n roll lifestyle caught up with him?
even when he was young he did that hunched over singing thing. think he gave up drugs a few years but that could be all gone now
He did go clean a few years back, seems to have at least gotten into enough shape to tour. I'd love to see them here - they're great craic.
Setlist looks great too, mostly earlier shit - 4 from The Haunted and a couple of Corpse songs at the end.
He is 57 lads not 27 doesn't look too far off someone who will be 60 in less than 3 years. The grey beard and hippy hat he has is making him look a lot older since he looks like something from Cheech and Chong.
Also love Barnes but what drugs is he or was he on? Does he not just smoke weed all day every day?
He sounds great in that footage to be fair
He's probably sick of all the EEEEEEEEEE memes.
Heeeeeee is
:laugh: :laugh:

Think Jack Owen randomly goes around Tampa storage units looking for bands"hey guys wanna jam?". Death metal Colin Robinson head on him 🤣
I never really bothered with Six Feet Under as I was never into Cannibal, but some of that EEEEEEE compilation footage on YouTube and especially the comments under where guys decipher the eeees are fucking hilarious.
I had no idea , I would definitely go to see them to hear the Eeeeees cranked out

I just watched some more footage there,fuck he sounds class!.If he ever did a 'I am Cannibal' set up! I'd definitely go!

This thread had me listening to Haunted & Warpath this morning.
The cringe does kick in on Warpath. Good craic though
I only have and have only ever heard Maximum Violence. It has some good moments.
Perfect for a straight up chuggy chug.
Do they have an decent albums at all? I've only listened to songs over the years and never really went beyond that. I remember hearing that song America The Brutal years ago and thinking it was terrible :laugh:
Good question. I think Haunted is great, sounds like Obituary with Chris singing. Warpath is also cool, more of a slower Sabbath type vibe to that one very few fast songs. After that it's anything from utter scutter to passable.
Death Rituals is deadly.
Seed Of Filth is on it, which is one of the best death metal songs of all time in my opinion.
I'm not a Death Metal head at all really, for me the likes of Obituary, Carcass, and Six Feet Under hit spot when I want to go heavier but still be able to swing my pants.
Haunted is the only one I bothered with, musically it's great but his voice on it does nothing for me. Bits and pieces I've heard since have all been crap.

I haven't listened to SFU in a long time but the first couple of releases up to and including True Carnage are good with the exception of Graveyard classics. The last album I bought was the one that came with the Chris Barnes Bobble head which I think was Commandment that was back when I still bought cds. Sold off the CD years ago but still have the bobble head somewhere which I would not sell. The last release I actually heard was Death Rituals which had a few decent songs on it.
I don't currently own a physical copy of any SFU releases and don't intent on buying any of the material I like unless I saw them somewhere for bargain basement prices because I have too much other stuff ahead of them that I want to buy. They are currently touring the US with Nile. I don't think we will ever see SFU in Ireland for a show unless they end up as support for someone they don't even play England much all they want to do in Europe is play in Germany.
I bought Haunted when it came out,but never really ventured much further after that.The album of cover songs! ,TNT christ above! :laugh:
He should have had the dreads taken off him for the covers. Total shite.

I recall hearing them cover ACDC quite badly I might add. Those vocals were ridiculous ha ha
Ok, I gave Undead and Maximum Violence a listen over the weekend and I really enjoyed them. Grand and catchy, did the trick while I was painting skirting boards. I'd definitely go see them if they came over here. Pretty cool Jack Owens is with them now. I always thought he was a very good song writer with very catchy songs. Doesn't seem to be the most excited live performer though :laugh: or has that changed
Big substitute teacher energy.
I gave the new album a listen earlier and find it a bit repetitive in places. The best tracks are the ones where they step up the tempo and have blast beats. I feel like the drummer is wasted on the band as he is generally just plodding along which is what a half decent drummer could do. He played with the Faceless and Vital Remains like. Anyway, not a terrible album but not one I'd be blasting regularly

Same with their bassist, he's an incredible player but you'd never know it from listening to their albums. I get that Barnes probably is happy with the basic meat and veg death metal, but letting the two of them loose every now then could add so much
Barnes is a great man and good craic for the shout outs" "your a magnificent cunt", which cheered up a buddy who was going through the wars and quite ill last year :laugh:

yea, I watched a live show on YouTube the other night and the bassist is rocking a 6 string. Could do with letting loose a bit more alright

This went up last night. Watched the first 20 mins not at all what I was expecting as he talks about his Mother and Father who both died only 2 months ago. He is fully sober doesn't even smoke weed anymore.

Man in coma brought back by Six Feet Under? Was it Graveyard Classics?
"TURN THAT SHITE OFF THE CAR CRASH WAS LESS PAINFUL THAN THAT!"
I'm about that into it myself. He really has changed over the past few years. He was a spicy cunt himself. He'd quite often post about Cannibal Corpse (The Records He Featured on) but would get snippy with fans when they'd ask questions but as I say he seems to have chilled. Must've hurt getting turfed out of Corpse, and I have to say they're a much worse band without him. Barnes isn't up to much vocally now but his performances on those first four albums set the bar. Each record was completely different vocally. Corpsegrinder is such a useless vocalist - every performance is the same and dialled in, patterns, tone etc. Think I tapped out after Bloodthirst, which alongside Gallery and Vile were decent enough.

I wouldn't call Corpsegrinder useless now. It isn't easy to deliver very fast vocal patterns the way he does. He's a pro
Corpsegrinder is fuckin unreal on Monstrosity - Imperial Doom so I understand him getting the gig. My interest in Corpse after Barnes is patchy but that's moreso due to the music than his vocals.
Ah I concede on Monstrosity - great record. Maybe useless is the wrong word. Unimaginative, repetitive, monotonous.
Compare to Barnes 4 records where we got 4 distinctly different vocal approaches.

Not just Barnes, the whole band & Scott Burn's production changes.
Sure they were all young lads still learning and Burns was figuring out death metal production.
Yep whole band for sure, hard to believe Eaten and Tomb are from the same band.
I think they've been AI generating their records Post Bloodthirst

yeq, I'd say the last four albums have been clones with poor artwork. The production and delivery is near identical on them. Up to kill I think the albums sound different tone wise at least.
Had a listen to a bit of the podcast, quite ironic he seems a lot more mellow and less argumentative now that he's given up weed
Seen a comment on youtube which gave me a chuckle:
Vocalist Chris Barnes left during the production of this album, due to a difference of opinion about how much material to include. The rest of the band wanted to release a full-length album, but Barnes only wanted to release an EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE P
I watched that interview with him over the weekend. I thought he came across very well, seems like a good dude
That EP comment is gold! :laugh:
Nice one for posting up the interview. I'm really enjoying it, delving in and out of it as I get the time. The dude really wears his heart on his sleeve, but the poor guy with both parents dying just before going out on tour, while his dog died last year and drove him to continuous rehearsals rather than his old vices. His early run-in's with Corpse members before they formed is interesting! :abbath:
Chris's joy in hearing how his music helped people is true to life. A buddy of ours was going through a very rough time with chemo with suspect long term prospects, and he got such a lift from a message from Chris. He's in touch with him a bit since and said Chris was "genuinely buzzing" when he told him he got the all clear. One of the good guys :D
I'm just coming up to the Corpsegrinder part... which has me thinking of how he ruined CC shows for me. CC life sure got boring with Corpsegrinder involved in shows, repetitive as hell. He's literally a muscle head, someone you'd have no time for in real life. Check out this smarmy cunt saying the early CC songs are now his, saying there won't be a reunion tour even though that's not what he was asked https://youtube.com/shorts/twST5_3xmnA?feature=shared
Another SFU cover album not heard of before - https://youtu.be/T0sgrfs_E9Y?feature=shared The comments from some are gold where they think it's genuine :laugh:
Corpsegrinder seems sound. He's forever delivering stuffed toys to a children's hospital or charity in his hometown. Just seems like a gamer dork to me.
I'm open to correction then! :laugh: His barbs at CB and claiming ownership of songs he covers do him a disservice then as he comes across as an entitled pleb. He still annoys me live though, not that I'd be saying that to his face like...
Anyway back on topic, I haven't listened to SFU in years. I must rectify that, but I guess there's nothing to get too excited about in recent years?
Nothing in recent times no. Unborn and Undead had a few tracks between them and there was one other record which the name of escapes me was an out and out banger, even got a glowing review on Metal Ireland at the time. But the last two in particular are god awful
