SIX FEET UNDER will join NILE for a US co-headlining tour this winter. The Revenge Of The Underground Tour 2025 begins January 7th in Nashville, Tennessee and runs through February 22nd in Houston, Texas. Support will be provided by PSYCROPTIC and EMBRYONIC AUTOPSY. Additionally, the tour will include several SIX FEET UNDER one-off shows scattered throughout.
SIX FEET UNDER vocalist, Chris Barnes, comments: “After more than a decade long hiatus of SIX FEET UNDER touring the States, I’m super excited and very much looking forward to our upcoming co-headlining tour with our old friends, NILE! It’s gonna be a motherfucking ripper!”
SIX FEET UNDER will be touring in support of their fourteenth studio album, “Killing For Revenge”, released earlier this year via Metal Blade Records.
A gnarly beast of a record that’s not for the faint-hearted, “Killing For Revenge” dishes up nightmare-inducing imagery courtesy of Barnes via the vocalist’s trademark guttural vocals. Both the album title and darkly detailed red-hued album cover by artist Vince Locke are perfect containers for the brutality within.
SIX FEET UNDER was initially formed as a side project for Barnes during his final years with the band that he co-founded, CANNIBAL CORPSE. It became the frontman’s sole focus in 1995, coinciding with the release of their debut, Haunted. Only Barnes remains from SIX FEET UNDER’s original incarnation, but the quality has remained remarkably consistent. The current lineup of Barnes, guitarists Owen and Ray Suhy, bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Marco Pitruzzella make for a devastating unit.
“Killing For Revenge” marks the second album that Barnes and Owen have created together since reuniting for 2020’s, “Nightmares Of The Decomposed”. Owen also produced the record. The chemistry between the five men is palpable; listening to “Killing for Revenge”, one could be forgiven for assuming that they hid themselves away for a couple of months and hammered it out in creative seclusion. Not the case. “We all recorded it on our own, in different parts of the country since we’re all spread out”, says Barnes. “I think the most important thing is to put everybody in a comfortable space so that they get a great performance. That’s what you want to capture. It’s really hard nowadays to afford everyone being in the studio recording like we used to back in the ’90s. It can be done just as effectively this way.”
“Killing For Revenge”, was mixed and mastered by Chaz Najjar at Badlands Recording in Denver, Colorado.
In addition, “Killing For Revenge” hit #8 on Billboard’s Top New Artists Albums chart in its first week of release. The album also hit #10 on the Current Hard Rock Albums chart, #24 on the Current Rock Albums chart, and more.
