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.

Comments SIX FEET UNDER vocalist Chris Barnes, “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!“

Tickets are on sale now at THIS LOCATION. See all confirmed dates below.

SIX FEET UNDER will be touring in support of their fiery 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.

Forged as a side project for Barnes during his final years with the band that he co-founded, Cannibal Corpse, SIX FEET UNDER 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 Jack Owen (ex-Cannibal Corpse) 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. From the opening moments of “Know-Nothing Ingrate,” which kicks off the vile proceedings, it’s immediately clear that SIX FEET UNDER focused their energies into something that’s as brutal, lyrically visceral, and musically dazzling as one would hope for from the ground-breaking Tampa-bred death metal lineup.

Wrote Blabbermouth of the release, “Now sounding more like a lethal and harmonious unit than they have for decades, they are plainly and undeniably back in peak, murderous form.” Slam Magazine concurred, “Slow or fast doesn’t matter with SIX FEET UNDER; what counts is heaviness, brutal riffing, and a massive build-up of pressure, interspersed with skillful solos, and Killing For Revenge has more than enough of all of this to offer.” Added New Noise Magazine, “This is a masterful metal annihilator of an album. Chris Barnes completely shatters the soul with his guttural growls… This is a trip you need to take if you love true metal.”

Killing For Revenge earned the #8 spot on Billboard’s Top New Artists Albums chart upon its first week of release. Elsewhere, the record took the #10 position on the Current Hard Rock Albums chart, #24 on the Current Rock Albums chart, and more! See additional chart positions below.

USA – Billboard:
#8 Top New Artists Albums
#10 Current Hard Rock Albums
#24 Current Rock Albums
#25 Independent Label Albums
#77 Current Albums

Canada – Billboard:
#6 Hard Music Albums
#31 Top Current Albums

Killing For Revenge features a guest appearance by guitarist Jason Suecof on “Neanderthal” and was mixed and mastered by Chaz Najjar at Badlands Recording in Denver, Colorado.

Get ready for another heady trip into the outer reaches of cosmically-inspired progressive rock with the brand new studio album from Pre-Med, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Danny Faulkner and featuring former Hawkwind bassist and current Hawkestrel mastermind Alan Davey. Old Habits Die Hard is the fifth official full-length collaboration from these musical pioneers, and offers the duo a chance to bring their decades-long musical experience to bear on what surely ranks as one of the most adventurous releases of their long careers.

Pre-Med’s kinetic brand of spacey, progressive rock includes lush, swirling synths
backed with walls of searing guitar work and thunderous bass grooves to create an
unforgettable musical maelstrom. This outing seeks to combine the group’s experimental tendencies with strong, memorable songs for a well-rounded artistic effort. From the explosive opening track and its fist-pumping chorus to the band’s surprisingly deft cover of Linkin Park’s “One More Light” to the haunting title track, Old Habits is poised to push both Faulkner and Davey well out of their comfort zones and into uncharted musical territory.

Davey proclaims, “This new Pre-Med album has us in the band all complimenting each other on their individual performances. Musically, we have gone up a level and without doubt ‘Old Habits Die Hard’ has the best production of all our albums to date!”

Faulkner adds, “It’s been a rollercoaster to get this record to its fruition, but I think it’s definitely our best yet. There’s glimpses of the older records, but there’s also a lot of new avenues that we’ve explored together. I’m very proud of everyone in the band, and thankful for all the hard work that they, and Cleopatra have put into this. Up The Meds!”

REVENGIN Sign with Wormholedeath And Drop ‘Circle of Mistakes’ Single + Video

Posted by metalshockfinland on July 16, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Brace yourselves, metalheads! Hailing from Brazil, female-fronted symphonic metal sensation REVENGIN is thrilled to announce their signing with Wormholedeath Records for the release of their highly anticipated new album, ‘Dark Dogma Embrace’, set to drop in early 2025. More details on this groundbreaking release will be revealed soon.

Formed in 2008 by a collective of seasoned musicians hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Revengin is here to melt your face with their brand of symphonic brutality.

To celebrate this monumental signing, the band unleashes their first single, “Circle of Mistakes,” a sonic masterpiece that serves as a powerful introduction to the forthcoming album.

“Circle of Mistakes” explores the duality we all carry within ourselves, the denial of our flaws that keeps us trapped in a self-perpetuating cycle of negativity.

“Circle of Mistakes” is available now on all major digital platforms. Don’t miss this chance to experience a genre-bending masterpiece!

A Journey of Liberation

“Circle of Mistakes” is an anthem for self-awareness. Heavy, pummeling verses lay the foundation for a soaring, powerful chorus that lays bare the complexities of human nature. The song is a call to confront our weaknesses, for it’s only through acceptance that we can truly break free. The track’s closing section beautifully reflects this liberation, a soul unburdened from the shackles that held it back, ready to embrace its full potential.

“Circle of Mistakes” was meticulously crafted through a collaborative effort between Revengin, the talented Caio Mendonça, and Rômulo Pirozzi. The track was recorded at the legendary Tellus Studio (home to recordings by Onslaught, Ektomorf, and Borknagar), with mixing and mastering handled by the masterful Caio Mendonça.

Visually Stunning Accompaniment

The song’s emotional depth is further amplified by the stunning music video for “Circle of Mistakes.” Scripted by Bruna Rocha and brought to life by director Felipe Borges, the video utilizes a striking color scheme of cyan and amber to symbolize human duality. Shadows and smoke weave a tapestry of emotional intensity, perfectly complementing the song’s lyrical themes. The band’s passionate performance further elevates the viewing experience.

Seasoned Warriors of the Metal Realm

Revengin has already established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the global heavy metal scene. They’ve toured extensively across Europe and South America, leaving audiences in awe in Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Netherlands, Germany, and Argentina. Their impressive festival appearances include the legendary Rock in Rio, where they shared the stage with titans like Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, and Gojira.

The current lineup of Revengin features the formidable Bruna Rocha (vocals), the gutturally gifted Thiago Contrera (guitar), the shredding Themys Barros (guitar), the groove master Diego Pirozzi (bass), and the powerhouse Nacife jr (drums).
