Comments vocalist/death metal maverick Chris Barnes: „Thank you to all of our fans for embracing our new album Undead with such ravenous fervor! And to all at Metal Blade Records for their belief in the band all these years and all the hard work of everyone at the label! This marks the first time in SIX FEET UNDER’s career, as well as my own, that we have reached Billboard’s Top 200. It is proof positive that underground music and death metal is not dead and is still a force to be dealt with. A very special thanks to the decades of hate that spawned the focus that went into this album. Cheers! It’s 420, motherfucker!”
Crowned „the best thing SFU have recorded since Maximum Violence,” by Decibel, „an album on which this new level of musicianship adds value without tarnishing SIX FEET UNDER‘s legacy of brutality,” by Outburn and simply a „kickass SIX FEET UNDER record,” by Revolver, Undead was unleashed to European ears via Metal Blade on May 18 and offers an updated lineup of Barnes alongside guitarist Rob Arnold (ex- Chimaira), longtime guitarist Steve Swanson (ex-Massacre), bassist Jeff Hughell (ex-Brain Drill, ex-Vile), and drummer Kevin Talley (Dying Fetus, Misery Index, Chimaira).
