[ Laughs ] Brief resolution, yeah, I’d do it. I am the fellow who loves to stay the gadget going till it breaks. [ Laughs ] On paper, it could be, like, ok, SIX FEET UNDER set after which an overlapping CANNIBAL set [featuring songs from CANNIBAL ‘s era with Barnes and Owen ] after which the Corpsegrinder set [featuring songs from the George ‘Corpsegrinder’ Fisher era of CANNIBAL ].”

Remaining September, CANNIBAL CORPSE bassist Alex Webster was once requested Loaded Radio for his response to Barnes ‘s remark in regards to the state of the demise steel scene during which the previous CANNIBAL CORPSE vocalist mentioned that he “despise[s] what the style has turn out to be.” Alex mentioned: “I do not in reality put an excessive amount of emphasis on any of that stuff. I feel other people will have to be capable to say no matter they would like. And if other people have an opinion about track, why will have to they retain it hidden, I suppose. If Chris does not like one thing, he is completely loose to mention he does not find it irresistible. After which individuals are loose to mention they do not like his opinion. So I do not in reality care about that. I feel everyone’s entitled to their very own opinion, and it is high quality.”
Webster persisted: “All of us love track such a lot, particularly… I have discovered steel lovers, we are all so hooked in to it, we are simply vulnerable to debate and argue. And I feel it displays how a lot all of us care about this track. It isn’t simply background track to us. In the event you cross into McDonald’s and you’ll listen a music within the background, then it simply turns out to me, it is almost certainly now not attention-grabbing sufficient to have devoted lovers; it is simply type of background track. However steel and different sorts of track that in reality require your consideration and get you engaged… It isn’t within the background for us actually or figuratively — it is one thing crucial to all folks. It is our passion in some ways, it is what we are into, and, yeah, we are gonna argue about it every so often as a result of we care about it. So I feel it is high quality.”

Yeah, he can do his factor; we do ours. If I see him, it is all the time pleasant. However I have never observed him in a couple of years. However, yeah, to each and every their very own, and it is all cool at this level. We do not in reality run into each and every different, even though. They [ SIX FEET UNDER ] have not toured shortly. Generally whilst you see everyone and also you reconnect with other people is at gala’s, principally the Ecu ones, I will have to say, ‘reason that is the place the vast majority of the gala’s are. And we reconnect with a large number of other people there — bands we now have toured with, pals, team participants that we all know, operating with different bands. In order that’s the place I’d run into him. And so they have not been doing that stuff in a short time. So perhaps we’re going to see him subsequent 12 months or one thing, even though. Who is aware of?”
Webster was once additionally pressed about whether or not lovers have requested to peer CANNIBAL CORPSE and SIX FEET UNDER traveling in combination, particularly now that SIX FEET UNDER options any other Owen . Alex mentioned: “Folks have requested [about the two bands touring together], however I feel, once more, SIX FEET simply does not in reality excursion that a lot. And we almost certainly would not do it. It is, yeah, such as you mentioned, type of the whole lot’s cool, however it is type of like, you do your factor, we’re going to do our factor. And it is high quality.”
In January 2022, Barnes — who exited CANNIBAL CORPSE in 1995, 12 months after the discharge of the band’s “The Bleeding” album — took to his Twitter to mention that he noticed a Knotfest “A Demise Steel Spherical Desk” hosted by means of Staypuft Mallow and that includes appearances by means of present Corpsegrinder , Trevor Strnad from THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER , Chase Mason from GATECREEPER and Alex Jones from UNDEATH . “I simply watched a ‘demise steel’ podcast on YouTube that was once performed a few week in the past with the ‘best’ demise steel vocalists,” he wrote. “It made me bodily in poor health. I despise what this style has turn out to be.”
After Barnes left CANNIBAL CORPSE to shape SIX FEET UNDER , he was once changed within the former band by means of Fisher .
Seven years in the past, Barnes spoke about the potential of SIX FEET UNDER and CANNIBAL CORPSE sooner or later traveling in combination, telling “The Chainsaw Symphony” radio program: “That may be a tricky one to position in combination, my buddy. [ Laughs ] You should not have any issues from my facet of items, however I do not believe folks can be agreeable to that.”
He persisted: “I do not believe there may be animosity [between us]. I feel there may be simply protective folks’s emotions. I feel that we all know positive issues about the whole lot and they might like to peer issues a definite means, and that would not painting issues a definite means that they might wanna painting them. So… I am being very normal and seeking to be diplomatic about it.”
Barnes additionally talked in regards to the instances in the back of his departure from CANNIBAL CORPSE . He mentioned: “I simply did not like being round them, as a result of I used to be being ridiculed, and I simply did not really feel relaxed being in the similar room with folks that were not really nice to me in my view. And I used to be a part of that too, so we had all of our personal form of variations, in my view, and I do not believe it was once gonna be capable to be labored out. You recognize, mutual admire is going a a long way means in terms of being in shut quarters with other people.”
He persisted: “I am certain we might do issues another way [today] — I imply, I do know we might. It is simply the way in which issues labored out. And I would not have any animosity against the ones guys in any respect, and I do not believe they do against me. It is simply that… It could be too complicated for issues [if we were to tour together], I feel, from their viewpoint.”
Barnes added: “I might do anything else. I similar to to peer a large number of other people in the market with smiles on their faces; that is the simplest factor that is necessary to me, guy. Like, critically, if I see a large crowd of people who everybody’s smiling, like, ‘Oh, yeah! That is what we now have been looking forward to,’ I am able then, guy. If I see a small room of people who are simply fired as much as cross, guy, it simply will get me occurring degree, you understand. And that’s the reason all I am there for — that feeling, that sharing of power, guy. And I’m going to opt for it any which approach to get that any means I will with somebody I will get it with. And if it will get to that implies to an finish, that is all that is necessary, guy — that transference. And a few other people simply do not see it that means, guy, and it is cool.
“I am not gonna be imply to anyone, and I by no means sought after to be. I am my very own individual, and every so often I am put at fault for that, and I feel all of us are in our personal means. And that’s the reason simply lifestyles; the ones are the issues we care for as other people.”
Owen left CANNIBAL CORPSE in 2004, explaining in a observation that his “middle simply wasn’t in it anymore, and it was once mirrored in my look on degree. Occasions exchange, and I simply do not benefit from the track up to I used to, and the one factor protecting me within the band was once stable paintings, and the pay,” he mentioned. “This stuff makes it unfair to myself, my band participants, and particularly the lovers.”
