  Six Feet Under (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Six Feet Under (often abbreviated as SFU) is a death metal/deathcore band that was formed initially as a side project of lead singer Chris Barnes (then of Cannibal Corpse).
Six Feet Under lyrics are apocalyptic and brutal, though Barnes's lyrics are somewhat less brutal than that of his past.
While their lyrical themes revolve around concepts of violence, gore, and death, many Six Feet Under songs are politically keen and advocate, among other things, legalization of marijuana, overthrow of capitalism, and even anti-war sentiments.

 "Six Feet Under" (2001)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The series is hard edged (some of the death scenes of the clients (i.e the guess characters whose funeral takes center stage of each episode) tends to be quite graphic, such as the auto-erotica asphyxiation scenario), the language frequently strong (the c-word has been uttered frequently) and there are many number of sexual scenes.
However, unlike HBO's other golden child, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under may be undeniably adult fare, this is a series with heart and emotional integrity and is frequently very moving, but does so without dipping into the realms of sentimentality.

 DVD Verdict Review - Six Feet Under: The Complete Second Season
Six Feet Under: The Complete Second Season finds the Fisher family—owners of an independent funeral home in Los Angeles—once again plunged headlong into personal turmoil and crises as each character struggles with their own mortality and the death of their father (Richard Jenkins, The Core).
Ambrose is the most underwritten character on the show, but maybe that's for the best—the real meat of Six Feet Under is in the adult themes and interactions, not the day to day dramas of a high school senior and her drug addled boyfriend.
Otherwise, the fact is that Six Feet Under is drama, and a front heavy one at that.
