Frontman Chris Barnes has announced that SIX FEET UNDER have completed their new album, Bringer of Blood. Here’s what he had to say on their latest effort:

“I am proud to say everything worked out great from beginning to end. It’s by far our most intense SIX FEET UNDER release to date. I want to thank Chris Carroll once again for his undivided attention on mixing and engineering this CD. I’d [also] like to thank Brad Vance at Red Mastering for doin’ a great job on the mastering and taking care of the finishing touches on the production. Also I’d like to thank Brian Slagel for giving me the chance to produce this CD, it’s been a wild ride! Most of all I hope that all of you SFU maniacs who have enjoyed our work in the past will like this CD just as much, and I hope that everyone who has disliked our work in the past will continue to do so ??”- that puts a smile on my face more than you know!"

Barnes also spoke of the band’s pending live activities:

“We’ll be doing a shoot with Juliya from Uranium [Fuse Network] this weekend for an upcoming episode. If that isn’t all enough we are currently back in the rehearsal room goin’ over new and old material for the summer tour we have planned in Europe starting at the end of June. This is gonna be a killer tour. I’m especially psyched about playing a couple major European festivals on this run, With Full Force and Graspop. We’ll be on the main stage at W.F.F.…third from the top on Friday, July 4th. This show will be filmed for a live DVD release sometime next year. Yeah another live video ??”- but with a twist… Currently we are planning a tour of the States for the end of August/beginning of September. More info on bands and dates as soon as we get them."

Bringer of Blood is scheduled for a September 23rd release through Metal Blade Records.
