The first line in the rotting is "smashing through the skulls" but all I can hear is "dashing through the snow" And I hope everyone does too now. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE
My first (and only) time seeing Six Feet Under was around 2004. They played a venue in San Diego most notable for pop-punk and emo bands and straight edge, but Cattle Decapitation was opening for them and I wanted to show support for them. Cattle was getting big, but nowhere near as big as they are now. When Cattle started, there was maybe 50-60 people. Next up was SFU. Almost the entire venue emptied, at most 15 people stayed for SFU. It was hilarious. No moshing, the crowd just stood there. I'm sure they stayed just to watch the trainwreck. Chris was visibly angry on stage.
Some of the most skilled tech Death Metal musicians get the chance to play songs that make AC /DC sound Progressive. It's hard to believe that the same Vocalist that appeared on the Bleeding has become such a joke
I'm guessing that his voice is probably shot because he smoked a lot of weed through So many years That's my guess you know... There's gotta be a time when you gotta realize that if your voice isn't gonna cut it anymore. Then it's over period. I sing and play guitar myself, and I realized that at 52 years old My voice isn't as strong as it was 25 years ago. I do metal but I also play classic rock and jam stuff...But I realized that and I don't really sing that much Because I know that my voice has changed and it happens when you get older. It sucks having to lose your vocals as you get older, but if that's what happens and you can't do anything about it that it's time to say enough is enough and time to step down. we all have to retire at some point in our lives. Whether it's from work or whatever , and there has to be a point where you have to make that decision.
Won't lie boys, I was having a terrible day - came back to this review, and then the album itself, and immediately feel better. I'm not sure what that says about it...
Same. I had this on in the background while getting ready for work, and that exact moment had me wheezing. It comes out of nowhere! Nick’s Barnes impersonation has become legendary.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me
I was down with SFU all the way up through True Carnage and then it became this sort of weird "what in all the fucks?" type deal to listen to a new release from them. This review, by the way, is my favorite EVER of this album (there's quite a few funny ones out there). I played some tunes off of here for my wife and when the squeal hit, she was freaking out because she thought one of the cats got hurt. Which made me bust a gut that much more...
Guess I'll be "that guy" and say that I really like their first 3 albums, as well as Undead/Unborn. But it's disappointing that Jack Owens couldn't bring something better out of them this time out.
@Josh Ireson Oh that's what's happened... I just gave the Chris Barnes era of Cannibal Corpse a shot two weeks ago, and there's a difference between how Barnes sounded in the 90s and now. In my amateurish opinion, it's like the power and soul in his vocals is gone. As a result I got curious as to what Barnes did to rob his voice of these aspects. Thanks to you, I've got an idea.
I actually tweeted Chris about the album if it was intentional and he stated to me that it was on purpose with a wink emoji, that made me want to believe that it's a troll album.
Necrotic Nick- If it's a troll album then were the previous ones also troll albums and if they are then it seems he's just trolling his own fans since they're the ones paying for it. That's kinda messed up to do that to his own fan base if that's true.
@@thrallsofmetal You got a point there, I guess we'll not know, but it was the worst album of last year by far. I have been listening to Death Metal for 4 years and I have never heard anything as bad as this album. But I still think that this is a troll album, it shows that they haven't been putting true effort into their albums for years. I like Shredlord's theory about it being a troll album and I agree. Chris should just hang it up at this point and do either podcasts or host a Death Metal radio show, I'd love that.
I'd been a staunch defender of SFU for sometime now. I've just always dug their groove oriented death n' roll approach. There's a million Tech Death bands out there so, when I wanted death metal with a groove, it was good. I even like Graveyard Classics 1 and 3. Felt they had new life with Undead & Unborn. Think Crypt of the Devil is an overlooked killer album. Torment is where I was like.... well this is just not memorable whatsoever. Now this album.... yeah, there's no defending it. I haven't even heard all of it yet but WOW.... just wtf?
Barnes vocals on Graveyard 1 are one of his best post CC efforts- pretty damn killer. Problem is from Warpath onwards his growl began to slowly degrade. The first four SFU albums are enjoyable if basic stoner DM, if you liked Barnes in CC, but after True Carnage his growl just becomes too weak. Anyway, one way Barnes could regain credibility is to go back to a thrash style vocal (if he can do it) and make a thrash album, since his death growl is fucked.
@@greggblankley6222 nah man, I just like them cause they're different. I listen to tons of bands, but SFU is a change sometimes cause it doesn't sound over polished or fast and it's more simplified.
@@thrallsofmetal yeah for sure, Cannibal is way too technical for Barnes to keep up, so I think he's comfortable not playing at their level and just doing his own thing, be it stoner death or whatever ya call it haha
I've only been a subscriber to Thralls for about a week and I think I've watched this video four times already. It's like an RLM Best of the Worst Spotlight episode, but for an album instead of a movie.
I have watched this review several times, and I bust out laughing every time. Funniest review I've ever heard or watched by far. The theories, wisecracks and the Barnes impersonations are hysterical!
Everyone gives Barns shit about the squeal, but if you go back to the Bleeding he started it there. Even a couple of time in tomb. I think no one ever told him it sounds bad so he just kept doing it. I bet if he would have stayed with Cannibal you would have heard him evolve better. But history is history and can’t be changed
I've seen bootleg fan footage of the Bleeding tour where Chris is doing the EEEEEEEEE and the guy taping the footage audibly laughs at it, even back then
Necrotic Nick- That's pretty much what I got out of it. Believe me, if they release something of this "quality" in the future we'll try to make that at least your second favorite review. lol
@@thrallsofmetal unfortunately i think that's his age and probably smoking catching up with him, he sounds very hoarse i personally woulda passed the torch on too some other vocalist if i was him
This album is dreadful. I can't believe that incredibly talented musicians like Lord Marco, Jeff Hughell and Jack Owen are wasting their time with Chris Barnes.
I agree, although it's obvious why... even with how terrible Barnes is these days, he's fukin' Chris Barnes, one of the most well known and (previously) loved death metal vocalists ever. Even if he sucks now they can still gain attention and popularity through being with him.
Great review guys. From a musical standpoint I don't think the album is that bad. And while Barnes' vocals make the album impossible to take seriously, it's still entertaining. I actually find humor in the fact that when listening to "The Noose" on youtube there is a warning about the lyrical content before the song plays. By the way, what songs were playing in the background of this review? They sounded really good.
You know as much as I may laugh at this it’s actually kind of disappointing because back in the day Chris Barnes use to have awesome Death Metal vocals he Had power, he had depth he could go low,mid and high and even do guttralish vocals and to see what he sounds like now is just flat out sucks.
I know Chris Barnes has got a lot worse but people forget that he was bad to begin with. I love the groovy death styling of the "warpath" album, dumb as it is, but the vocals aren't good.
Shredlord doing straight up professional vocals to parody Barnes is a bit concerning. Because Chris sounds more like someone constipated with his neck folded down.
SFU just dropped the fourth single from the album. The song is called "The Rotting". Also, the band is aiming to release their fifth Graveyard Classics album this year, where they would be covering Rush songs.
I have the album playing on UA-cam right now, had to listen to it after such a brutal review, and to be honest..it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever heard and I’ve been a Metal fan for 40 years. Yeah the vocals are what they are, even the pig squeals.. I laughed I have to admit, but I’ve heard worse. The band sounds decent, maybe not that inspired or original, the solos are cool though. Lyrics, who truly cares it’s not what we listen to death metal or extreme metal in general. I’m hearing all the serious faults in this release everyone brought up, songs just ending.. the vocals..etc, but to be honest it’s not the worst I’ve ever heard. I own a couple of their early albums and Chris didn’t sound like this and I think if this is all he’s capable of now he should rethink another musical path. I am getting used to what I am hearing though and to be honest it’s ok. Not being a diehard fan of SFU I honestly can say it’s nothing I would buy or listen to again..as I listen to Chris croaking Drink Blood Get High as I write this lol.. but I think it would be doing the actual musicians on the album a huge insult by saying this album is... fill in your own insults.. to me they are fine and those solos are great. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever heard, I can listen to it, there’s some bands and styles I can’t even sit through one song, so it has something going for it. Musically it’s fine, lyrics on the dumb side but who cares, solos killer, vocals blend after a while.. Overall I have heard worse. I agree with Rin , it’s not great sure, but it’s entertaining.. 2 stars.
I had a great time watching this review. Was laughing constantly over hearing Chris's vocals get ripped apart. I was really hoping for Jack Owen to come in and completely rejuvenate SFU. Especially with all his work in Cannibal Corpse and DEICIDE. I saw SFU live once in 2012 in Worcester MA. They played with Suffocation and Revocation. Every time Barnes attempted a scream part, I swear someone was standing just off stage blowing into a whistle. As to try amplifying his screams. I did get get to meet Barnes outside the venue before the show, next to his bus. Even met guitarist Steve Swanson inside a restaurant across the street from the venue. That was cool.
Chris: "Okay yall just need you to lay down some real meat and potatoes grooves. Heavy on the vanilla." Jeff and Marco: "OK pay us" TBH I'd take the gig if I had their names
I really wonder, what do you think about their album "Unborn"? I'm not really a fan of SFE but not a hater either, i kind dig some of their albums! But that albums, i think it's amazing in every aspect (production, instrumentation and the most important, Chris Barnes vocals) so I'm curios
My friend showed me this album as a joke a few days ago and gave me a disclaimer right before we started listening to it, all he said was 'think blind three legged dog w/ mange...what do you do?'. It was a sad and appropriate foreword. Pull The Plug out of humanity Chris, jeez, it hurt to hear you fall this far off the table.
Late to the party , back in like 04-05 I had a friend that was an MMA fighter on an amateur circuit , would fight at armories and casinos etc . He wanted to use "bringer of blood" for his walkout song so he did for about 5 fights of the contracted tour . Somehow a 6 feet under representative caught wind of it and literally sent him and the promotion a cease and desist threatening to sue them smh . This was a small time fight circuit Max crowd was maybe 2k .
I never thought of an album review could be a comedy special but this is pure gold, i am laughing my fucking ass off you guys are hilarious! Also i LOVE "Nightmares of the Decomposed"
Ok, gotta be honest here; I've just re-listened the album... there are actually some cool ideas and riffs I actually like ( the opening song 'Amputator' overall is pretty solid or/and 'The Rotting', which has some really cool passages ( that get immideatly spoiled by "EEEH" )) , but it all gets ruined by a dry and "low phat/no-balls" production/mix, utterly inane lyrics, Barns's vocals that ignore any sort of rythm or dynamics and those gods-awful, unimaginative mid-tempo snooze tracks. Overall, I'd say the album is still a horrible and low effort cacophony, but there are actually some good riffs/ideas sprinkled througout it which however can't save it from being what is is: shit. PS: This dumpsterfire of an "album" reminds me of that one Morbid Angel fiasco... you know the one I'm talking about... >:-(
Ouch 🤕 that was a harsh review lol. It's so sad to see a legend like Chris Barnes fall from grace. It's like watching a boxer way passed his prime still try to fight and then gets destroyed
Necrotic Nick- That is Shred and Rin's band Constricted. We're actually giving away one of their CDs in our current giveaway. Check out the channel page.
@@thrallsofmetal have u guys ever listened to their 2012 album "Undead"?..one of their better later records, Chris's voice is too awful and the music is good death metal..just a suggestion
@@spongebitchbobface oh wow I never realized that I miss typed because I actually do quite enjoy his voice on Undead lol...I meant to type "his voice ISN'T too awful." 🤣🤘🏻🤘🏻💀
I got a comment from Jack owen on my joke six feet under cover short I think because I commented on his video "I hope you got paid" on his amputator playthrough. Needless to say I think I got him mad....
Spot on review guys. Plenty of laughs again as well. I only downloaded this one because haven't bought a six feet in years. And I buy a shit ton of music. But I had to check a few times to make sure I didn't download the wrong album or something. Half expected to look and see it was the new machine head album or something because they are all over the place like this was. But regardless I still love Jack Owen. Some of my favorite corpse songs were written by him. But on to the next I guess. Thanks again guys.
You know to be honest I would love to see a six feet under discography ranking from you guys for a couple of reasons. 1. I actually do like a decent amount of SFU songs. At least over 50 songs. 2. I think the video would also be hilarious. Seeing all your thought on Chris and his vocals and lyrics/songs. Idk I hope you guys do it one day because we all know it would be hilarious and awesome. Cheers bro 🤘🏽
When i heard everyone talking trash about this album and how bad it was, I couldn't believe it. That was until I heard it. OMG this thing is horrible. Their next album has to get better right?? 😮
If someone that was born when your last good album came out can now buy booze, it is time to call it quits. He wants to talk about how modern death metal makes him ill and this was released.
I am a fan of Six Feet Under, but this album was rough. Some bands use unique vocal styles, such as Inquisition, but Chris Barnes sounds like he has throat cancer and it's made even worse by the very real possibility that he thinks he did a good job.
Chris Barnes on this album sounds like someone mocking how they think death metal vocals sound lol
Chris Barnes walking out after every vocal session: “fuck yeah, still got it!!”
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Chris..."Nailed It""
squ-EEEEEEEEEEEEE

The first line in the rotting is "smashing through the skulls" but all I can hear is "dashing through the snow" And I hope everyone does too now. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I remember I was gonna catch these two bands on tour in like 2012, and the tour ended early after Chris sucker punched Travis Ryan backstage
@@Squires_98 I'm over here waiting for my food laughing out loud at this comment lol
I have a hard time believing this story. SFU were very popular at that time and were playing to big crowds at Vans Warped and the like.

I came to say something similar. This album is a train wreck that I keep coming back to for the cringe.
"bArNS nO cLiCK!"
Had me rolling there dude X'D
Ice T’s involvement in this album is unparalleled
The gravelly, "Chris Barnes" at 2:09... I blew coffee out my nose.
Can I just add that The Rotting sounds really, really cool... without the lyrics.
Same. I had this on in the background while getting ready for work, and that exact moment had me wheezing. It comes out of nowhere! Nick’s Barnes impersonation has become legendary.
TL:DR - Chris Barnes’ favorite letter is E

I just discovered this after I got myself blocked by ChrEEEEEEEEEEs Barnes. I’m laughing so much. I needed to see this review.
What’d you say to him? The man’s ego is weaker than your average metalcore album so I can’t imagine that it took much for him to block you.
He blocked me too because I said and I quote "you're a pussy and SFU sucks"
Barnes is a homeless poser
get your earplugs ready gents, they're recording another one
The wait is over! 🤡💩💀👹🤖🙉🙀
The new ones a little better
I was down with SFU all the way up through True Carnage and then it became this sort of weird "what in all the fucks?" type deal to listen to a new release from them. This review, by the way, is my favorite EVER of this album (there's quite a few funny ones out there). I played some tunes off of here for my wife and when the squeal hit, she was freaking out because she thought one of the cats got hurt. Which made me bust a gut that much more...

This still lives rent free in my head
Gotta come back to this video every few months its a timeless classic. Even better after Rin’s return on the latest CC review welcome back brother! 🤘🏾
Chris Barnes was awesome in his hayday but with the absurd amount of pot he smoke and just doing those vocals destroyed his good vocals
I agree with you. Too much weed REALLY fucked his voice over!

Shredlord doing straight up professional vocals to parody Barnes is a bit concerning. Because Chris sounds more like someone constipated with his neck folded down.

Know what? An SFU cover of "Closer to the Heart" kind of intrigues me.
The analogies you guys bring up XD
"It sounds like a Gremlin passing a kidnes stone." i can't XD
Everyone rips on Barnes. It may not be the best metal in the world but it’s my guilty pleasure. Say what you want.

Every time Barnes attempted a scream part, I swear someone was standing just off stage blowing into a whistle. As to try amplifying his screams. I did get get to meet Barnes outside the venue before the show, next to his bus. Even met guitarist Steve Swanson inside a restaurant across the street from the venue. That was cool.
Brutally honest review theirs a reason the comment section was disabled for every track released
Chris: "Okay yall just need you to lay down some real meat and potatoes grooves. Heavy on the vanilla."
Jeff and Marco: "OK pay us"
TBH I'd take the gig if I had their names
Necrotic Nick- I'm hoping all their checks cleared. lol
I really wonder, what do you think about their album "Unborn"? I'm not really a fan of SFE but not a hater either, i kind dig some of their albums! But that albums, i think it's amazing in every aspect (production, instrumentation and the most important, Chris Barnes vocals) so I'm curios
Unborn is actually really good for all the reasons you mentioned. I just don't think Barnes is trying anymore.
I'm still baffled that Barnes hasn't reached out, or at least hit us up to burn one, or to bum a smoke.
Gee, I wonder why.
My friend showed me this album as a joke a few days ago and gave me a disclaimer right before we started listening to it, all he said was 'think blind three legged dog w/ mange...what do you do?'. It was a sad and appropriate foreword. Pull The Plug out of humanity Chris, jeez, it hurt to hear you fall this far off the table.
You guys shiuld do a SFU discography review LOL
Late to the party , back in like 04-05 I had a friend that was an MMA fighter on an amateur circuit , would fight at armories and casinos etc . He wanted to use "bringer of blood" for his walkout song so he did for about 5 fights of the contracted tour . Somehow a 6 feet under representative caught wind of it and literally sent him and the promotion a cease and desist threatening to sue them smh . This was a small time fight circuit Max crowd was maybe 2k .
I never thought of an album review could be a comedy special but this is pure gold, i am laughing my fucking ass off you guys are hilarious! Also i LOVE "Nightmares of the Decomposed"
It was a good album
Its sad how he has fall this low considering I LOVE first 4 Cannibal albums which I prefer over anything than Corpsegrinder...
Ok, gotta be honest here; I've just re-listened the album... there are actually some cool ideas and riffs I actually like ( the opening song 'Amputator' overall is pretty solid or/and 'The Rotting', which has some really cool passages ( that get immideatly spoiled by "EEEH" )) , but it all gets ruined by a dry and "low phat/no-balls" production/mix, utterly inane lyrics, Barns's vocals that ignore any sort of rythm or dynamics and those gods-awful, unimaginative mid-tempo snooze tracks.
Overall, I'd say the album is still a horrible and low effort cacophony, but there are actually some good riffs/ideas sprinkled througout it which however can't save it from being what is is: shit.
PS: This dumpsterfire of an "album" reminds me of that one Morbid Angel fiasco... you know the one I'm talking about... >:-(
If I were to ever meet Chris Barnes I’d tell him nightmares of the decomposed is my favorite album of all time, just to see how he reacts
I love your reviews...you guys made me laugh so much with this 1
Name of the song in background? Thank you
Necrotic Nick- It’s Jungle Rot’s last album.
@@thrallsofmetal many thanks. BTW, nice and funny video :)
Love the Majesty and Decay shirt.
Best album from Immolation. 🤘
Hey guys. The new SFU album is coming soon. It would be great if the whole crew gave their opinions on the new record. Cheers🤟
That review was really fun to watch! Greetings from Germany.
How is anyone surprised? SFU hasn't had anything even vaguely respectable since Haunted.....and that was mostly if you wanted a CC/Obituary supergroup
Ouch 🤕 that was a harsh review lol. It's so sad to see a legend like Chris Barnes fall from grace. It's like watching a boxer way passed his prime still try to fight and then gets destroyed
What’s the intro song?
Necrotic Nick- That is Shred and Rin's band Constricted. We're actually giving away one of their CDs in our current giveaway. Check out the channel page.
They did NOT put any effort into this album. At all!
Necrotic Nick- Agreed!
"The Noose"
Oh my f***ing god
"The Noose"
The Haunted Album and Warpath are badass but haven't listened to any other stuff
Necrotic Nick- Haunted is pretty decent. Pretty much feels like an Obituary album with Barnes on vocals.
@@thrallsofmetal have u guys ever listened to their 2012 album "Undead"?..one of their better later records, Chris's voice is too awful and the music is good death metal..just a suggestion
@@demonintheflesh88 I disagree, the vocals on Undead were his best in years.
@@spongebitchbobface oh wow I never realized that I miss typed because I actually do quite enjoy his voice on Undead lol...I meant to type "his voice ISN'T too awful." 🤣🤘🏻🤘🏻💀
@@thrallsofmetal Exactly!!!
I got a comment from Jack owen on my joke six feet under cover short I think because I commented on his video "I hope you got paid" on his amputator playthrough. Needless to say I think I got him mad....
Back at this classic after it was announced theres a new album. I hope yall review the new album just for even more memes and laughs
I tweeted AxCx’s song “Chris Barnes is a pussy” at Chris and he blocked me. Fun times.
Spot on review guys. Plenty of laughs again as well. I only downloaded this one because haven't bought a six feet in years. And I buy a shit ton of music. But I had to check a few times to make sure I didn't download the wrong album or something. Half expected to look and see it was the new machine head album or something because they are all over the place like this was. But regardless I still love Jack Owen. Some of my favorite corpse songs were written by him. But on to the next I guess. Thanks again guys.
This review could never be watched enough times
Chris Barnes is the Uwe Boll of Death Metal Singers
11:32 that fucking killed me 😭😭😭😭😂😂
I hope they make many more albums so we can get more hilarious reviews like this =))
I'm so glad I listened to this album with an open mind and not hearing everybody's opinion of it first. I f****** love it
You know to be honest I would love to see a six feet under discography ranking from you guys for a couple of reasons.
1. I actually do like a decent amount of SFU songs. At least over 50 songs.
2. I think the video would also be hilarious. Seeing all your thought on Chris and his vocals and lyrics/songs.
Idk I hope you guys do it one day because we all know it would be hilarious and awesome.
Cheers bro 🤘🏽
Bringer of blood was the last album I got down with Commandment was decent.
When i heard everyone talking trash about this album and how bad it was, I couldn't believe it. That was until I heard it. OMG this thing is horrible. Their next album has to get better right?? 😮
If someone that was born when your last good album came out can now buy booze, it is time to call it quits.
He wants to talk about how modern death metal makes him ill and this was released.
THIS RECORD SHOULD BE AT TRILLIONS FEET UNDER!
I keep coming to this review for a good laugh :D
Your Barnes impressions are fucking hilarious.
Love this review. You guys are hilarious hahaha
When i heard this album i haven't laughed this hard in awhile 😅😅😅😂😂
I am a fan of Six Feet Under, but this album was rough. Some bands use unique vocal styles, such as Inquisition, but Chris Barnes sounds like he has throat cancer and it's made even worse by the very real possibility that he thinks he did a good job.
i would love to know what song you used in the intro 😁
Necrotic Nick- It's Shred's old band Constricted. The song is called "Third Generation".
