SIX FEET UNDER vocalist Chris Barnes has revealed exclusively to BraveWords.com that Kevin Talley (DYING FETUS, MISERY INDEX, DAATH) has been chosen as the band’s new drummer.

A mere day after the departure of drummer Greg Gall and bassist Terry Butler – who has joined OBITUARY – Barnes details what he describes as “interesting circumstances” surrounding the loss of Six Feet Under’s rhythm section.

To be clear, neither Terry nor Greg was fired from Six Feet Under; they both left of their own accord. “That’s right. They did leave of their own accord."

An Eastern European tour had been slated to run March 30th through April 10th, although exact dates and venue information was still forthcoming. According to Chris, “It’s still going to happen. Actually a couple dates got cut so it’s going to run from April 1st through April 9th now."

New drummer Kevin Talley is quite a bit younger than Chris – 13 years in fact. “I think everyone’s younger than me at this point,” laughs Barnes. “It really doesn’t matter who I pick. They’re all going to be fucking younger than me. I’m just glad they’re all excited to play with this old man! I’ve still got some fire in my belly. I’ve actually been playing with younger guys than that. My nephew’s an amazing drummer; if he wasn’t 16, he’d be in this band – he’s that good! He’s a prodigy, seriously. He may fill in some dates here and there in the next year or two, just to get him out there. Having new fresh blood in the band is really exciting.”
