"Killing For Revenge" by Six Feet Under (WORST DEATH METAL ALBUM OF 2024?) | ALBUM REVIEW

[@lucasgordon1551]

I genuinely think you’re a pretty good singer. I especially loved the EEEEEEEEEEEEEE to bring it on home.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Yeee thanks bud. Very spur of the moment to be honest, didn't plan on that ending, but I wanted a way to re-incorporate "Bring It On Home To Me" back into The Metal Meltdown after so long. Happy with how it turned out.

[@andreariggs2023]

This album deserves to be Six Feet Under along with that Nazareth cover

[@heyhonpuds]

I love how every Six Feet Under album is "worst death metal album of year X", couldn't happen to a more deserving band.

Not really...Haunted is one of my favorite metal albums of all time. It is sad that Six Feet Under had gotten worse with each new album. Only the first 3 are good and only Haunted is great.

[@antonioilardo6691]

I honestly think this album is a 6.5/10. Not as good as unborn or undead by any means, but I think its better than most of the other stuff they made.

Better than “Nightmares” no doubt, that album was a complete disaster… and I really like SFU.

Warning? You're acting like anyone who listens to SFU will immediately get a brain aneurysm. Stop hating it just to fit in, you don't have to like th music, but I highly doubt you ever took the time to listen to SFU, and I'm not talking about Nightmares of The Decomposed, which was a shitty album indeed, I'm talking about this, Killing for Revenge, and their best work like Unborn, Haunted, 13, Undead...

Chris Barnes looks like the combination of Doofenshmirtz from Phineas & Ferb, Emperor Belos from The Owl House & The Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons mashed together but instead of coming with 99.9% genius inventions, causing a massive genocide to innocent civilians all because his own brother got a hot GF, and running a pretty decent comic book store those 3 people mashed together and just think to themselves, “hey let’s write terrible death metal songs and make them sound like we’re trying to take the biggest IHOP dump.”

[@blackwaterrust476]

Hi Everyone, Melthony Meltano here and it’s time for a review of this new Metal Meltdown Review for Six Feet Under’s Killing for Revenge. Here we have a brand new review from Known Canadian, Alcoholic, Metalhead, KZbinr, The Gop Slopper himself Mr. Metal Meltdown. It’s been years since his last Six Feet Under review which has been one of his most iconic and career defining projects. He is very well known for his parody Chris Barnes EEEEEEs at this point and has become one of the channels memes. So did anything change with this sequel???? Not much, a lot of the things he hates…. He very much still hates. Chris Barnes sucks, it’s generic/lazy but one thing that did change is no EEEEs Now I will say Metal meltdown has noticeably calmed down compared to before but don’t let that distract from the fact there are no EEEEs on this album a huge tragedy. I say I like Melty’s point of bringing up this is for the better. If there is one thing I didn’t like. I really think the use of slang like Slay is very well used and unique. Not words you will always hear in a metal meltdown review. However the peaks of this review just Can’t match the hilarious, iconic meme-like status of the nightmares of the decomposed review. Then not to mention the worst part of the review….. the Sam Cooke song. It was a huge wasted opportunity, it could have been legendary…. But you didn’t do a Chris Barnes cover of it, just only left the EEEEs at the very end. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. But other than that it was a very very very great review I’m feeling a Solid 8-weak 9 on this thing. Trannnsition Have you given this album a listen? Did you Love it? Did you hate it? What would rate it? You’re the best, You’re the best. What should I review next? Hit the Like if you like, please subscribe, please don’t cry.

I actually really like this band but Nightmares was unbearably bad for me. I am excited to say I so far like this one so much more than Nightmares. My issue is every song uses the same trick of having 2 verses and then having a long bridge section with a solo and I felt it get repetitive by the end. It's like they saw the meme that everyone liked the instruments on The Noose and used that formula for every single song. Also Barnes sounds okay, better than I expected I guess.

[@yungsam64]

No

[@zeag7187]

Man. How can you even call it the worst death metal album of the year? Just because SFU released some pretty bad albums, doesn't mean they can't redeem themselves or release a good album. Six feet under isn't even objectively bad, it's a solid album and while we all have different opinions, i like it, and I think it's a great album. It's definetely not my favorite album from them, that would be Undead, but it seems like now every metal "fan" likes to shit on Chris and SFU without fairly judging the music. It's pathetic, honestly.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Ok, lets go point by point, because theres a lot here: 1) I called this the worst death metal album of the year because, in my opinion, its the worst death metal album of the year. Barnes vocals remain laughably bad, the music is incredibly bland and generic, and the Nazareth cover at the end is unbearably lame. There is NOTHING else that I've heard from the realms of death metal in 2024 that has come close to this level of mediocrity. 2) They can redeem themselves, I'm certainly not opposed to it, but there's A LOT of work to be done for that to happen. 3) I can't speak for what other metal "fans" do but I DID judge the music fairly and even pointed out some positives in the riffs and production and overall energy of the material. Unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good. 4) People disagreeing with you isn't pathetic. It just isn't, honestly.

[@hellonurd8957]

Cannibal Corpse is like the class clown in high school that grew up and settled down and everyone still loves him because he's cool and genuine. Six Feet Under is the loser who thought he was cool but in reality people couldn't stand him and still acts like an buffoon in a pathetic attempt to recapture his "glory days".

@@themetalmeltdownofficial I get that’s your opinion but haunted is definitely a great album. Chris was still in his prime when it was recorded . I want to love SFU and I admit that the band isn’t the greatest. But they have some pretty good songs . It’s just the EEEEEE that ruins most of his music . I don’t get how it’s taken about 20 years for someone to tell him to stop. If he quit it with the EEEE and stuck to the low gutturals I think he wouldn’t get so much hate . Also I think the death and roll genre is gimmicky. If he just stuck to classic death metal it would’ve been better . I do think you’re slightly too harsh on Chris in this video. The album is pretty good but I would say it’s not great. People forget that cannibal corpse isn’t as great as it used to be . Sure they’ve released some bangers in the past 20 years but they’ve also released a lot of mediocre shit. The only notable albums are kill, evisceration plague and torture. All the rest are boring and sound very similar. I will admit that corpsegrinder vocals are very consistent at least
