SIX FEET UNDER – Warpath CD

"Warpath" is the one CD by Six Feet Under to strike an interesting and unique identiy that could have brought them into the mainstream public. The band is found breaking away from death metal into more of a "death-rock" here that resembles nothing of what later Entombed turned out to be. Judas Priest and early-80's hardcore rear their heads here and it works to the bands huge benefit. The hooks have tons of hooks, the drumming isn't as static as it would become on later albums and the guitars do a lot of good (despite being simple) work that shape a sound that few bands have managed to work with since the best days of Celtic Frost. This would be the only album that worked this well, but just to have one like this can make all the difference in one's recorded legacy...
