Weak Recap: The Big Fourth
Welcome to yet another Weak Recap. Last week, Mark did me, so this week I’ll be returning the favor. We’re also taking turns interviewing each other. As usual, we’re looking back at the week’s most important headlines. Why? Because repetition is the mother of all learning. And it’s also a pretty easy way to make another post without being original at all.
Make the jump to get reminded of how awesome we were throughout the week.
Live Review: Six Feet Under 04-04-2011
When Six Feet Under announced their new lineup, which now includes three members of Chimaira, and then shortly afterwards announced a short tour with a stop in Cologne, I just had to get a ticket. Because I live one hour away from that city. A week before the gig, Debauchery were added to the touring lineup as special guests.
Check out my live review after the jump. All the pictures included in this article were either taken by me or a friend of mine.
Six Chimaira Under
The new line-up for the coming European Six Feet Under tour has officially been announced. Matt DeVries, rhythm guitarist of Chimaira, will be playing bass on the upcoming tour and join fellow Chimaira guitarist Rob Arnold and former Chimaira drummer Kevin Talley in SFU. So, three members of Chimaira’s selftitled line-up just joined Six Feet Under.
Apparently, they are currently rehearsing, including old Cannibal Corpse songs. Sounds great. I’m personally looking forward to the tour because I’ll see them live next Monday. Pictures of the band rehearsing and screenshots of the official announcements after the jump.
And it all started with Death…
It all started with the man above, Chuck Schuldiner. Death Metal. Some people may argue that it all started with Possessed but to me Chuck Schuldiner and his band Death are the fathers of Death Metal, without wanting to take away anything from Possessed’s legacy.
What I realized is that members of Death went on to form or join other Death Metal bands and in turn members of these bands went on to form or join other DM bands aswell and so on and so forth.
So what I want to do is this: I’ll give you a quick rundown of bands that are in some way related to the fathers of Death Metal. Make the jump for your daily dose of Death Metal.
Rob Arnold joins Six Feet Under
We speculated, we reported rumors and now it’s official: Rob Arnold of Chimaira joins Six Feet Under as rhythm guitarist.
Six Feet Under vocalist Chris Barnes commented on this addition as follows:
“I couldn’t be happier about the new songs and line up! Rob and myself have been collaborating on new songs along with the bands new drummer, Kevin Talley for the past few months. We are all feeling really excited about the bands future, and the raw intensity of the songs that we have created together so far. THIS IS THE HEAVIEST MOST EXCITING MATERIAL THAT IVE WORKED ON SINCE THE BLEEDING, AND IM STOKED THAT ROB WILL BE HELPING OUT CREATING THIS CD WITH US! we’ve all known each other for a while and we’re really looking forward to continue writing the new cd and future tours. We are committed to taking Six Feet Under to the next level of brutality!!!”
And Arnold himself said the following:
“Its been an amazing honor and opportunity to have been called upon by one of my biggest idols, Chris Barnes!! Six Feet Under and the Barnes era Cannibal stuff had enormous effects on me as a young musician, and still do to this day. In 1996, I was a kid in the front row screaming my head off to Lycanthropy and Torn to the Bone… And now here I am, being asked to play the songs on stage with the band! Dreams do come true!!! And the stuff we’ve been writing absolutely RIPS! Watch out!!”
I got to admit, I’m pretty excited about this and I can’t wait to hear the final product. Plus, finally someone who seems to love ‘Lycanthropy’ (off Six Feet Under’s debut album ‘Haunted’) as much as I do. Watch live footage of said song with SFU’s original line-up, featuring former Obituary guitarist Allen West, after the jump.
