SIX FEET UNDER mainman Chris Barnes has issued the following update:

"To the loyal fans of Six Feet Under.

Our long time friends and band-mates, Terry Butler (bass) and Greg Gall (drums), have decided to move on and depart from SFU. Steve Swanson (guitar) and myself are grateful for all the fun times we've shared together through the years, and wish them the best of luck in their musical endeavors.

Just to fill you all in, Steve and myself are very excited about the future of the SFU, and I have been working hard on writing the new SFU material for the past four months with a new writing partner.

I will make this guarantee and promise to all the fans of Six Feet Under; the new line up will be a death metal force to be dealt with, with the long awaited addition of a brutal as fuck drummer and riffs that will rip your face off, vocals ala 1993-1995...

Thank you all for your continued support and devotion, see you soon!"

Six Feet Under have released a sample of their upcoming Wake The Night! Live In Germany DVD. Check out 'Victim Of The Paranoid' below:

Six Feet Under are without a doubt one of the most active and best live acts in death metal. A constant institution since the mid 90s. Party.San Open Air in Bad Berka, Germany is known as a place where bands give 110 % and more and so did Six Feet Under on August 8th, 2009. Being headliners on this very night, Six Feet Under unleashed hell on stage and delivered one of the best shows in their career.

17 hits of grooving death metal were carved on DVD to make all the SFU fans worldwide be part of this legendary evening at Pary.San Open Air. The gig was filmed by Roax Films with 9 cameras and recorded in 5.1 surround sound, picture size 16:9 – best entertainment guaranteed.

Comments Chris Barnes: "It was compiled from footage that we filmed at the Party.San festival in Germany from August 2009. All of the show was shot on high-definition camera, and it just really looks awesome. It's on the same wavelength as our With Full Force video, really excellent show, awesome crowd. This time we were playing at night, so they utilized some really giant pyrotechnics, so it was awesome and frightening at the same time."
