FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SIX FEET UNDER studio update from Chris Barnes 6-13-03:
Well well -hello again everyone out there! The new CD, BRINGER OF
BLOOD is
finally fully mastered and complete. I am proud to say everything
worked out
great from beginning to end. It’s by far our most intense Six Feet
Under
release to date. I want to thank CHRIS CARROLL once again for his
undivided
attention on mixing and engineering this CD as well I’d like to thank
BRAD
VANCE at Red Mastering for doin a great job on the mastering and
taking care
of the finishing touches on the production also I’d like to thank
BRIAN
SLAGEL for giving me the chance to produce this CD, its been a wild
ride!
Most of all I hope that all of you SFU maniacs who have enjoyed our
work in
the past will like this CD just as much and I hope that everyone who
has
disliked our work in the past will continue to do so-that puts a
smile on my
face more than you know! I‘d like to also let everyone know that we
have a
new addition to the Six Feet Under family in form of a new artist who
we
have commissioned for the new CD his name is DAVID ARONSON. He did 15
original images for this CD- unbelievable!! The packaging of BRINGER
OF
BLOOD will include a 24-page booklet with art depicting each song and
taking
inspiration from the lyrics. I worked real close with David on the
images
and I’m totally impressed with his work, if you want to see a sample
of his
work go to www.alchemicalwedding.com. Brutal!!! Lets see what
else...oh
yeah, we completed the photo session for the CD as well as the shots
that
will go out to all the press folks. We worked with JOE GIRON who I’ve
been
working with since the CANNIBAL CORPSE CD BUTCHERED AT BIRTH- he
always does
a kick ass job, thanks Joe...This weekend we’re having a listening
party
here in Tampa to premier the CD to all the European and American
press. Its
really the first time anyone’s heard the new stuff, outside of
family,
friends and the label, and I’m a little anxious to see and hear what
they
have to say, then again... also we’ll be doing a shoot with JULIYA
from
URANIUM this weekend for an upcoming episode. If that isn’t all
enough we
are currently back in the rehearsal room goin over new and old
material for
the summer tour we have planned in Europe starting at the end of June
check
our tour dates section for dates-http://www.sfu420.com - this is
gonna be a
killer tour I’m especially psyched about playing a couple major
European
festivals on this run, WITH FULL FORCE and GRASPOP we’ll be on the
main
stage at W.F.F. third from the top on Friday July 4th- this show will
be
filmed for a live DVD release sometime next year- yeah another live
video-
but with a twist... Currently we are planning a tour of the States
for the
end of August beginning of Sept. more info on bands and dates as soon
as we
get them. I'll check back with you again before the release of
BRINGER OF
BLOOD on Sept. 23 to give you U.S. tour dates- the song titles and
some
other bullshit-- till then stay sick --BARNES

BLACK DAHLIA MURDER
The Black Dahlia Murder has just returned home after touring with
Cannae and
Set Ablaze. “This was our first actual tour and we are kind of a new
name so
we didn’t really know what to expect from this. Some shows were
really
great, other weren’t. All in all everyone had a great time…” – Brian

The Black Dahlia Murder will be heading out with The Red Chord this
week.
“They are really good friends of our so we are totally excited to be
touring
with them. I am a big fan so I am excited to be able to see them play
every
night!” - Brian

AS I LAY DYING
Last Sunday night, June 15, AILD had the opportunity to co-hosting
San
Diego's Rock 105.3 from 10pm till midnight. Here is what Tim had to
say
about it:
“The radio show was a great time. We played 4 songs off of the
upcoming
Frail Words Collapse as well as some of our favorite bands. It is
good to be
home for a couple days, but we're ready to be back on the road. We
are relea
sing a new version of http://www.asilaydying.net/ before we leave so
be sure
to check it out.”

The band is still holding onto the number one spot on MP3.com for
most metal
downloads and were also named one of the featured artists in metal.

CATTLE DECAPITATION update from Travis Ryan
We've just been jamming nonstop... you should hear them now. Fucking
nuts. I
just finished lyrics to a new song. 3 pages long! Longest yet. It's
called
Bukkake Tsunami. If you don't know what Bukkake is, look it up...
it's about
overpopulation. Fucking crazy song... the new ones blow our others
away and
this drummer is fucking all over the place. We're stoked. He’s very
creative. We are just trying to figure out our tour situation now and
should
be able to release something in the next week or so.
