Back From The Dead!!!

About Me

Formed in 1995, Severed came together as an excuse to play music and get drunk. Consisting of members from Dogod, Impulse Manslaughter, and Maldicion, Severed quickly found a niche, and in 1996 released their seven song demo, Dearly Departed. Severed played throughout the Midwest with such bands as Incantation, Cianide, Disinter, Cenotaph, Skinless, Usurper, and many others.In 1998, original vocalist Bill decided to leave the band. Tom took over vocals in addition to guitar duties. Matt (Corpsevomit) was also added on guitars as well. More material was written and solidified for a planned release, which never occurred.In 2000, due to everyone's hectic schedule and distance apart from each other, Severed was put on hold.In late 2004, Severed got back together, and it felt as though we have not missed a beat. We plan on re-recording our original seven song demo, Dearly Departed, along with 20 of our other songs for various releases.
