About Terry Butler

Born 1967. Terry Butler is an American bassist, musician and guitarist.

Terry Butler is an American musician who is currently the bassist for the death metal bands Obituary and Inhuman Condition. He was also a member of Six Feet Under, Massacre, and Death.

He is married with three children, and is brother-in-law of former Six Feet Under bandmate Greg Gall. On May 7, 2019, Butler's then 27-year-old daughter, Jona Wright, died in a single-vehicle car accident after her car came off the road and was overturned multiple times, also leaving Butler's two grandsons, ages 6 and 10 at the time, who were also in the vehicle, with minor injuries. The bass was instead performed by sole constant member Chuck Schuldiner, with Butler joining the band after the album was completed; though Schuldiner defended Butler's inclusion on the album's credits, stating "Terry contributed to the songwriting as well".
