&quot;"Chris Barnes had started his extreme metal career at the age of 19. Primarily Barnes's first band was a Death/Thrash band called [[Tirant Sin]], which had formed in 1986 in Chris's hometown of Buffalo. Other members of Tirant Sin member included drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz, guitarists [[Bob Rusay]], Cam V and Joe Morelli, and bassist Rich Ziegler. Also in 1986, Chris quit Tirant Sin to join yet another New York based Death/Thrash metal band named [[Leviathan (thrash band)|Leviathan]] who would record a four track demo entitled &quot;"Legions of the Undead&quot; " in 1987. This demo would one day be available on the 2005 Six Feet Under boxed set entitled ''A Decade in the Grave''.

Tirant Sin recorded three demos. The first was entitled &quot;"Desecration of the Graves&quot; " and would privately be self released in February 1987. Tirant Sin's second demo entitled &quot;"Chaotic Destruction&quot; " would be self released in the fall of 1987, Dennis John on vocals. And finally Tirant Sin's third demo entitled &quot;"Mutant Supremacy&quot; " would be self released in 1988. Barnes only appeared on the 3rd demo, when he rejoined Tirant Sin in January 1988.

&lt;<!---When asked in an interview what his favorite Cannibal Corpse album that he worked on was, he commented &quot;"I love them all, I really do. I really enjoyed them all&quot;". In the same interview when he was asked about his time with the band, he responded &quot;"I look back on it with a lot of fond memories. It was pretty much my starting point - it wasn't exactly my starting point, but it was as a professional musician. I think that I really helped bring about a certain style of music, and with that band I really outlined what most people think death metal vocals sound like - I'm part of that. I'm really proud of the imagery, and the lyrical stories that I put together on all those albums. We set out to conquer the world though, and I think we did as far as our corner of the world was concerned.&quot;"

Barnes was fired from Cannibal Corpse because of his personal differences with the rest of the band members. Barnes was then able to devote his full attention to the band [[Six Feet Under|Six Feet Under]], which had been his side project since 1992. Barnes has commented that he is &quot;"very proud of what I've done with them.&quot;"

&quot;"Being booted out of Cannibal Corpse was pretty memorable but in a good way. I didn't feel I was able to write the way I wanted to so it was a good transition for me.&quot;"

There have been some rumors about Barnes returning to Cannibal Corpse, which were denied by Alex Webster: &quot;"We have no plans to do anything with Chris Barnes ever again. It's not something any of us are interested in doing.&quot;"---&gt;>

Six Feet Under released the album ''Commandment'' on April 17, 2007 to highly positive views. Chris Barnes has stated &quot;"Commandment&quot; " is his favorite album, claiming to have received over 5,000 messages in support, many fans cite it as their favorite Six Feet Under release since 2003's ''[[Bringer of Blood]]''.
