Six Feet Under: A Decade in the Grave (sampler of box set)

Has it been 10 years already? Indeed. This first ever box set release by Six Feet Under demonstrates this band's staying power in an ever-changing musical climate. This career retrospective proves to be all-inclusive as well as is destined to be quite the collector's item, which is demonstrated simply by the box set's title A Decade in the Grave. Merely listening to the sampler brings back memories of enjoying SFU's live set, which culminates with the live track "Torture Killer". The sampler even provides a couple Demo tracks, namely "Leviathan" and "Beneath a Black Sky", which is only a small taste of what the entire box set includes. The box set provides Six Feet Under fans with a 32 page color book, SFU trading cards, an exclusive poster, sticker, four CDs and one DVD, as well as Demos and Live Tracks.

This box set should prove to satisfy any Six Feet Under fan, and truly highlights the band's accomplishments over these past ten years.

Six Feet Under: A Decade in the Grave (sampler of box set)
Posted by Ken Pierce, SoT Staff Writer on 2006-01-12 08:52:01
My Score:

After ten years of recordings and touring Chris Barnes and his band mates in Six Feet Under have released a box set that is sure to please every one of their fans. Tipping the scales at over 70 songs this is a superb collection that not only compiles a "greatest hits" of the band on CD's 1 and 2, but then gives you CD of rarities (CD3). On CD4, the fans are treated to demos and other recordings that come from from the early years in Barnes career. Some of this is pre Cannibal Corpse as I have found. Disc 5 is actually a DVD concert from Berlin in most cases. Since I only had a sampler CD of this my descriptions are on the brief side, but this did give me an idea of the overall quality awaiting the fan of this band. Over the ten years they have built a strong and dedicated following and very rarely have they strayed from their course of delivering some of the most brutal Metal to have ever come out of Tampa, FL. Comparing this to other boxed sets that mostly feature songs that fans already have in the catalog I would have to say that SFU did a great job on this one. Limiting known tracks to 2 CD's and giving you 80% of what you have already plus bonuses was smart. Also included in the set is a full-color poster. SFU trading cards, a sticker and a 30 page color booklet that is full of pictures and lyrics. There is bound to be a number of fan favorites on the set along with stuff that I am sure has been passed around on cassette tapes until finally making its appearance on this set.


This is a must have for Death Metal fans who either already follow Six Feet Under or perhaps even those who want a great sampling of what they have done. It matured differently from how the crop of European Death Metal had gone and offers the listener to that aspect of the Metal genre a variation that has the creativity of one the legends in that form. I admit that I don't follow them, but Corpse and Barnes fans in the legion prove that there are plenty who do. Check it out, it is even reasonably priced.
