Six Feet Deep

Hardcore

Six Feet Deep was an American punk and heavy metal band started in 1991, which became popular in the mid-west United States due to success of their debut album. A review on Cross Rhythms of the band's album, Struggle was a 10/10 review. Their second album, The Road Less Traveled, made Sputnik Music's No. 5 on the “Metalcore Bible: Part 1.”

The band started in 1991, with members Myk Porter, Tom Wohlfield, Matt Simmons, and Mike Shaffer. They recorded their first demo Self as well as their first full-length Struggle with this line-up. Johnny Amanse joined the band for a brief time and decided to leave to spend more time with his family.

Shaffer and Simmons left the band and were replaced by Bryan Gray and Matt Traxler, who recorded on The Road Less Traveled. The band disbanded due to Porter wanting to change the band's musical style. Porter and Traxler later went on to form Brandtson, with Bryan Gray continued to plays and record with his bands The Blamed and Left Out.
