Six Feet Unders Chris Barnes has now officially commented on the addition of Chimairas Rob Arnold and Daaths Kevin Talley to their lineup. Speaking on Six Feet Unders official website, the following statement was made:
WE WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE AND WELCOME THE ADDITION OF GUITARIST, ROB ARNOLD TO THE SIX FEET UNDER FAMILY! Just wanted to give you a Six Feet Under band update and let you all know that we would like to announce our good friend Rob Arnold will be joining SFU as 2nd rhythm guitarist for up coming touring duties, as well as collaborating on the new cd.
Barnes- I couldnt be happier about the new songs and line up! Rob and myself have been collaborating on new songs along with the bands new drummer,Kevin Talley<
www.drummerkevintalley.com>for the past few months. We are all feeling really excited about the bands future, and the raw intensity of the songs that we have created together so far. THIS IS THE HEAVIEST MOST EXCITING MATERIAL THAT IVE WORKED ON SINCE THE BLEEDING, AND IM STOKED THAT ROB WILL BE HELPING OUT CREATING THIS CD WITH US! weve all known each other for a while and were really looking forward to continue writing the new cd and future tours. We are committed to taking Six Feet Under to the next level of brutality!!!
Arnold- Its been an amazing honor and opportunity to have been called upon by one of my biggest idols, Chris Barnes!! Six Feet Under and the Barnes era Cannibal stuff had enormous effects on me as a young musician, and still do to this day. In 1996, I was a kid in the front row screaming my head off to Lycanthropy and Torn to the Bone And now here I am, being asked to play the songs on stage with the band! Dreams do come true!!! And the stuff weve been writing absolutely RIPS! Watch out!!"
