Band
To Embark Upon 18 Nights Of Blood Tour Next Month.
Death
metal ministers SIX FEET UNDER today
announce the addition of rhythm guitarist Ola Englund to their legendary ranks.
England, who will make his first official appearance with the band on the
18
Nights Of Blood Tour set to commence next month, takes the place
of Rob Arnold.
Comments
founding vocalist Chris Barnes of the new recruit: “Ola
is an amazing guitarist and was chosen for his superlative technique and style
of playing. We believe he will be the perfect complement to Steve Swanson, and
the devastating rhythm section that is Talley/Hughell. Steve, Kevin, Jeff and
myself are so looking forward to Ola's entrance into the band upon the release
of Undead and the commencement of our
first tour next month with Dying Fetus and Revocation. We can’t wait for you to
witness the new killing machine that is SIX FEET UNDER! Ola takes over duties
for our good friend and death metal warrior Rob Arnold who will be retiring from
touring but will remain a central writing partner and fellow collaborator on
future SFU releases. We are all sad
to not have Rob on the road with us, but are confidant and 110% psyched that Ola
is now within the ranks of the Undead and will be ready to lay waste to every
stop along the way! Hails!”
Adds
Englund: "When
I got the call from Chris, it felt unreal; first thing that popped up in my head
was, ‘why the hell did he want me --
the total gear nerd from Sweden -- to join his awesome band? To be able to share
the stage with one of the biggest icons in death metal and the other killer
musicians in SFU is a complete honor
and a dream come true for me. I couldn't be happier about the situation! Also
the new album blew my mind the first time I heard it, it's intense as hell, but
still has the riffs and the grooves that SIX FEET UNDER swears by. Fans are
going to love it! I’m looking forward to kick some serious ass together with
Chris, Kevin, Steve and Jeff! See you on tour!"

Undead
was
officially released in North America today via Metal Blade Records. Called “the
best thing SFU have recorded since
Maximum Violence,” in a recent 8/10
review by Decibel Magazine, the
record was produced by Mark Lewis (Deicide, Devildriver), mixed by
Jason Suecof (Whitechapel, Job For A Cowboy) and features the recording line up
of Barnes alongside guitarist Rob Arnold (ex- Chimaira), longtime guitarist
Steve Swanson (ex-Massacre), bassist Jeff Hughell (ex-Brain Drill, ex-Vile), and
drummer Kevin Talley (Dying Fetus, Misery Index, Chimaira).
To
celebrate its release SIX FEET UNDER will slaughter souls on a near
three-week run of live ceremonies this June. The 18 Nights Of Blood Tour will
begin in Atlanta, Georgia on June 8. Support will be provided by Dying Fetus and
Revocation.
