Commandment was constructed completely from start to finish in the studio with rising knob-twiddler and famed Hate Eternal/ex-Morbid Angel brutalist Erik Rutan at his Mana Studios in Tampa, Florida. Barnes spearheading the occasion with the stable lineup of former Death / Massacre bass legend Terry Butler, guitarist Steve Swanson and drummer Greg Gall. "It was a big journey getting through it," says the singer, explaining the process of building the brutal beasts that make up Commandment - coincidentally ten of them! Commandment's goal is straight-forward in nature, somewhat less experimental than previous efforts. Six Feet Under twisting the knife slowly with such memorable new agitating anthems as 'Doomsday', 'The Edge Of The Hatchet', 'As The Blade Turns' and the ultimate statement 'Thou Shall Kill'. Commandment lives with a bludgeoning death metal undercurrent while laying down the band's patented pulsating groove.
