The band was originally a side project by Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes with guitarist Allen West of Obituary. They were joined by bassist Terry Butler (formerly of Massacre and Death) and drummer Greg Gall, Butler's brother-in-law.
Six Feet Under have released nine albums, and are listed by Nielsen Soundscan as the fourth best-selling death metal act, with album sales of 370,660.
