Six Feet Under - Graveyard Classics (2000)

Six Feet Under's first out of three now tribute cover albums have been classic rock but with that twist of death metal. It's normal for them to play cover songs at there gigs like I know "TNT is a live favorite that they still do live. Many death metal fans that I've seen online, are very confused on why one of the top death metal draws has to play covers. Isn't it a bit ridiculous to perform a Jimi Hendrix song and a Deep Purple song in death metal style? Yes and no, if you were expecting to hear it like the way you're use to hearing it may sound a bit funny or odd but, on the other side of the spectrum it was very bold of them to release these songs. I think the reasoning behind this was a smart idea in the fact they used popular songs when downloading became relevant like someone would type Sweet Leaf and mean to get the Black Sabbath version but would see this other version. It's a very creative approach and great promoting. Songs to check "Holocaust", "Son of a Bitch" and "TNT".
