Raunchy Signs With Massacre Records

Massacre Records is happy to announce that Danish outfit Raunchy is now officially part of the label's roster, with an upcoming sixth album scheduled for release later this year. Massacre Records comments:

"Let us introduce you to Raunchy just in case you aren't familiar with them: Everything started back in 1992 when Jesper Tilsted, Jesper Kvist, and Morten Toft Hansen formed Raunchy. About two years later, Lars Vognstrup and Lars Christensen joined the band and the first demo was recorded.

"Two additional demos later, the band signed with Mighty Music's sub label Drug(s) in 2000 and the debut album 'Velvet Noise' was released in 2001 in Scandinavia. After the album release, keyboardist and supporting vocalist Jeppe Christensen joined the band. Raunchy was the first Danish band ever that signed with Nuclear Blast Records (2002)! With a new label, the band's debut was also released in Europe and North America.

"2004 started off with singer Lars leaving the band. Kasper Thomsen was later introduced as new vocalist and the second album 'Confusion Bay' was released in February 2004. More...

Sunday Old School: Six Feet Under

Side projects can be a dangerous thing. Whilst they can provide a creative outlet for a band member, they can also bring about arguments regarding commitment and sometimes cost said musician his place in the first band. Many of these projects don't even go anywhere, but this was not the case of Six Feet Under, the group formed as a side project by then Cannibal Corpse vocalist, Chris Barnes. Six Feet Under started in 1993, when Barnes joined forces with Allen West, one of the founding members of Obituary, who also brought with him bass player, Terry Butler, formerly of Massacre and currently the bassist of Obituary. The lineup was rounded off by Butler's brother-in-law, Greg Gall and they soon embarked on their first shows, performing a set mostly comprised of cover songs. They took themselves a little more seriously the next year, writing more original material and easily securing themselves a record deal with Metal Blade, thanks in part to Barnes already being signed to the label with Cannibal Corpse. The band teamed up with such respected names as Brian Slagel and Scott Burns to complete their debut album, "Haunted," which was released on September 1st 1995 to good reviews from critics who were impressed with the distinctive vocals and the group not being reliant on guitar solos to complete their songs.

A year later, in 1996, Barnes was fired from Cannibal Corpse while they were recording a new album, "Created To Kill," which was eventually released under the name, "Vile." His attention could now be paid fully to Six Feet Under, who released a new EP, "Alive and Dead" before the year was out, which featured two new songs, four live tracks and a cover of the Judas Priest song, "Grinder." Just less than a year later, they released their sophomore album, "Warpath," which is considered one of their best works to date and was notable for taking a few risks, such as the inclusion of clean vocals and broader lyrical themes, such as smoking marijuana, as well as the usual blood and guts stories associated with death metal. "Warpath" was also the last album to include Allen West, who parted company with the band and was replaced by another Massacre alumni, Steve Swanson. More...
