Six Feet Under release new song ‘Ascension’

SIX FEET UNDER have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Ascension, is taken from the American death metal band’s upcoming new album, Killing For Revenge, which is scheduled to be released in May this year.

Speaking about the new song, guitarist Jack Owen says, “I wrote the music first, with no lyrical ideas in mind. I wanted a small musical phrase that linked the parts together throughout the song, so I wrote a little chord/drum fill thing to segue riffs from the start of the song, through to the end. It turned out sounding like early POSSESSED, according to listeners. I have an archive of riffs, so I dug for some fast-picking parts that would be easy to sing to.

I had recently found a vinyl box set of works by Shakespeare, and listened to Macbeth. It’s pretty violent! So while Ascension isn’t a direct interpretation of the story, it’s my take on the classic tale of influence, revenge, and the fate you face. As with many of the songs, Chris lent his lyrical talents to make the song that much better.”

Killing For Revenge is set for release on May 10th via Metal Blade Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
