Veteran death metallers Six Feet Under have served up “Mutilated Corpse In the Woods” as the latest single from their 15th studio album “Next To Die“. Cannibal Corpse veterans Chris Barnes and Jack Owen have served as core members for the band for sometime now, with Owen having the following to share about the origins of this second advance single to make it out:
“This song started when my wife and I were in an antique store and she found an amber quartz pendant that had lines through the whole thing. I asked her what it was and she said it’s a Rutilated Quartz. Well, that’s all I needed for a title and some lyrical ideas. The chorus came easy. The verses were from a true crime show where a woman described being attacked by an assailant who tied her to a tree and slit her throat.
She couldn’t speak or scream. In real life she survived the attack, telling her story with a giant scar across her throat. In this song, unfortunately she did not survive… My killer buried her where she will never be found. I wrote the music from scratch around the lyrical ideas.”
“Next To Die” is scheduled for an April 24th release date on Metal Blade Records and the band have already lined up touring campaigns to promote it across both Europe and North America. Should you be seeking to catch them out on those runs, you can find the dates below.
