Originally a side project for Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes and former
Obituary guitarist Allen West,
Six Feet Under eventually became a full-time proposition when friction between
Barnes and his other bandmates became too much to bear. Featuring ex-
Death bassist Terry Butler and drummer
Greg Gall in the rhythm section,
Six Feet Under issued their debut album, Haunted, in 1995.
Barnes subsequently quit Cannibal Corpse, and
Six Feet Under issued the stopgap EP Alive and Dead in 1996 to tide fans over until the following year's full-length, Warpath. Third album Maximum Violence appeared in 1999.
Graveyard Classics followed a year later and 2001's
True Carnage featured guest vocals from
Ice-T.
Double Dead arrived in 2002, followed by
Bringer of Blood in 2003,
Graveyard Classics, Vol. 2 in 2004,
13 and the
Decade in the Grave box in 2005,
Commandment in 2007, and
Death Rituals in 2008. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
