Six Feet Under's debut album, Haunted, promised to be an exciting collaboration between Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes and Obituary guitarist Allen West, and by and large it lives up to its promise. After all, it's hard to go wrong with Barnes, one of the best vocalists in stateside death metal, West, a veteran guitarist who had anchored one of the genre's leading bands, and producer Scott Burns, beyond a doubt the best death metal producer in the industry. Of course, songwriting is always an issue, yet thankfully Six Feet Under put some obvious care into their craft, writing songs that not only sound good but are actually good as well. Exceptional yet a bit out of the ordinary in terms of style, Six Feet Under's debut is a very satisfying listen for metalheads -- and foreshadows a bright future for this very dark band. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
