After releasing four studio albums with Cannibal Corpse, Chris Barnes left the band and gave his attention to Six Feet Under, his side project since 1993. "Haunted" is the debut album of Six Feet Under and is mentioned by many people as their best one.

Warning: If you're a "true" Death Metal fan (with blast beats and insane riffing) and hate bands that play something similar to it, then you should skip this release because Six Feet Under plays easy music, without any complexity, or fast drumming. On that album you may find songs consisting of only two riffs (Suffering In Ecstasy)!

So what? You think that would be a problem? I assure you it's not. "Haunted" can make your head drop off your neck! This one is the absolute headbanging album! The guitars sound extremely catchy and the drums are groovy but also powerful. The vocals are truly great and it is obvious that the music is created in order to show off Barnes's excellent voice. The lyrics are distorted (as the lyrics Barnes wrote when he was on Cannibal Corpse) but easier to write this time.

"Haunted" is a Groovy Death metal album that you can also call "Death n' Roll." It is not technical nor innovative ,but it is a really dynamic album! A must for Six Feet Under fans. I won't suggest best songs as they are all really great! I will exclude only one, "Lycanthropy,, which in my opinion is one of the best songs the band ever wrote.

This is not the first album I would suggest you to add it in your collection, but it is an album which EVERYBODY should listen to; especially those who have a great tolerance for headbanging!
