    Big fan of Haunted and Maximum Violence personally. In my personal list of 90s DM essentials. Warpath is pretty fun. There are a few later albums that I enjoy as well honestly. Undead/Unborn are good. Commandment is one I come back to as well for some reason. Something about his raspy vocals on that album really works for me. 13 is pretty decent too. Death Rituals I kind of go back and forth on. Parts of it I like and it has a cool atmosphere, but his vocals do get weird in a number of songs. He is going for this ultra low Tomb of the Mutilated thing but he just can't totally pull it off anymore. Otherwise, overall I really don’t hate this band like many seem to, and think a good portion of their output really isn't anything that offensive like a lot of people say it is. They have some nice and decent releases though nothing super special, and also some stinkers certainly. A lot of their discography is kind of just solid fast food DM to me.

Corpse Grinder has made just as many classic songs and albums with Cannibal Corpse and helped them become probably the most successful death metal band of all time.

    I think people forget or don't know that there was still a lot of good will for SFU in the late 90's after Cannibal and before the rotating line ups. People liked those records and the first Graveyard Classics for that reason. The genre and sound and the whole death groove thing hadn't been run into the ground yet and SFU was still seen as a band as opposed to a project. I like GC1. I remember when it came out. It was something of a novelty record. It was silly and fun. Nobody really shit on it for that reason, and if they did, people thought they were just too up their own ass to laugh be goofy a bit. And it sold pretty well. People bought it because it was silly. People who didn't even like DM just for the laugh. Mind you I'm looking at this from the view of nostalgia, ignoring everything there after, but even now in the grand scope of things, I'd still take the silly but well played covers album over the mountain of cut and paste copies that diluted the Death Metal, to say nothing metal genres suffering the same fate, (cough..stoner doom...cough). Just $.02 from an old lifer. Keep up the good work!

      @@doomguyrox1156 Thank dude. That first one was a fun record. It wasn't so much laughing at it as it was laughing with it. Everybody knew most of those songs, and it was silly to hear them like THAT! Half the appeal then was it was just goofy fun! I think that's what they were going for. Like it was a fun mood lifter or sing along at parties. That feeling and perspective got lost in the long run, along with Barne's voice. Nobody needs either 2 or 4, those were ideas that would have worked at best then as a live one off. 3 tried to recapture it but his voice was gone and the vibe just wasn't the same.

  • @ThaShikushi

    My feelings about SFU are... complicated?
    I actually have a small bunch of their CDs/DVDs, a bootleg SFU shirt, and even an SFU poster flag on my wall, but I just can't call myself a huge fan of theirs. I've listened to most of their main studio albums, but not all of them. Some of them, like Warpath and Maximum Violence, I can enjoy as a whole. The first Graveyard Classics album works as goofy fun for me, and I sometimes put on some of their live recordings.
    Other albums have a few select tracks that I like, for example "The Day The Dead Walked" on True Carnage, or the title track on Bringer of Blood. Sometimes I can even enjoy the "EEE", but Chris' vocals hurt so many of their releases. The quality of the vocals goes up and down throughout almost the entire discography, but as a whole, they're pretty much never as good as his work with Cannibal Corpse. It's a shame, because I think some of their instrumentals would make for pretty sick songs with better vocals.
    I do wanna check out Undead and Unborn, what little I've heard of them sounded pretty good - maybe Crypt of the Devil as well. I'll listen to Killing for Revenge at least once, but my expectations are quite low.
    I wouldn't call SFU a great band, or even really a good band... maybe a mediocre one at most? There's so much death metal out there that's leaps and bounds ahead of their best material... but I still feel like subjecting my ears to them sometimes.

    So I think my hot take is that Warpath almost has to be my favorite SFU album simply because of 4:20 and Night Visions, which brings up a weird conundrum. Six Feet Under are at their best when they don't sound like Six Feet Under. If they stuck to death-laced stoner metal they actually might be a really cool band, and it's a thing they've never really explored since.

    I'm an old school metalhead who started listening to death metal in the early 90's, and I have to agree that Undead and Unborn are better than Haunted. Haunted is really good, but it's basically Obituary with Barnes on vocals. I actually prefer Warpath.
    Torment has some really neat ideas at times, almost progressive, but Barnes' vocals sound shot. Crypt of the Devil is underrated. The busier arrangements help somewhat disguise his deteriorating vocals.

    If you want a rating "tree" from someone who actually listened to the music when it was released, who isnt on any "how you have to see things bandwagon" the original Six Feet feeling that made thousands of folks buy tickets and be at awe with the singer when, treating him like a leader of a wolf pack, noone even thought about that a world in which he is laughed at could ever exist:
    Groovy Phase, Originall Phase:
    1.Warpath(the swanrecord of the style, to be enjoyed when there are temperatures above 25 degrees C)
    2.Maximum Violence
    3.Haunted (summer music)
    4.Bringer of Blood
    5.Commandment
    6.Death Rituals
    7.Ture Carnage (summer music)
    Band was fired Phase, stylechange:
    i think the new record is the best of the bunch because the riffs are addicitve and chris sounds as if he was on that weird drug that the bikers in the nicolas cage movie took.
    besides that that sterile technical musician for hire thing turns me off big time(which of course cant be applied to oven)
    Barneses Voice is fantastic for fast but if you investigate into "why" you will maybe find out that his original lyrics rarely ever where conventionally delivered, most of the time in weird timings and signatures with words lasting for several bars.
    For instance hammer smashed. Sadly this approach cant be found yet on the technical six feet records i hope that i will someday hear that again.

    SFU kinda remind me of Type o negative, serious but not too serious! There is a lot of fun in their brand of death metal, and there’s no denying they are a standout in the genre, as for Barnes voice I kind of look at him as a chino or a serj, he’s kind of always been a outsider in the scene and done his own thing, and like chino and serj is instantly recognizable, which is difficult to achieve in the death metal genre,

      I mean to be fair I could do vocals like the sound Jim Carry makes in Dumb and Dumber… it would certainly be recognizable… but it would still be terrible.

And vocals aside, I’d also argue that SFU have brought NOTHING to the game in terms of musicianship that had not been done better for many years.

    I can't rank them because I stopped listening after Warpath, but I do remember liking Haunted and Warpath. I was learning to play guitar at the time so the basic riffs were fun and easy to play along with. Unsurprisingly, I wasn't really into death metal, so I had no real frame of reference. I was more of Thrash/Groove/Nu/Hardcore kid. I also remember writing a letter to them (and every other band whose CD I owned that had a mailing address) and Chris Barnes wrote me back with a very nice letter and a bunch of SFU stickers that I slapped all over my school binders.
    Unrelated to SFU, but I also wrote to Sepultura back then, but I guess Max Cavalera had control of the mailing address because I got a letter back telling me that Max was no longer in Sepultura and to check out his new band Soulfly when their album drops. 😂
