Six Feet Deep was a punk and heavy metal ensemble from the United States, established in 1991. They achieved notable recognition within the Midwest region following the release of their initial album.[1] Their record Struggle was awarded a perfect score of 10/10 by Cross Rhythms.[2]
History
The group was originally composed of Myk Porter, Tom Wohlfield, Matt Simmons, and Mike Shaffer. This lineup produced both their debut demo titled Self EP and the album Struggle. Johnny Amanse joined the band briefly but departed to prioritize family responsibilities.[3]
Following the exits of Shaffer and Simmons, Bryan Gray and Matt Traxler became members to contribute to the creation of The Road Less Traveled. The band ultimately dissolved when Porter decided to pursue a different musical path. Afterward, Porter and Traxler went on to create Brandtson, while Gray became involved with the Blamed, Left Out, and Blenderhead.
