About Me


KEEP YOUR WIVES INSIDE!

Severed Hand rises from the ashes of the thousands of generic sounding, formulaic bands currently on the scene and brings forth a new blend of old-school classic 80s metal and the brutal attack of the heaviest of todays music. Tight, harmonious guitar work, bone shattering bass and quick pounding drums, beautifully meshed with silky smooth but soul-piercing vocals define Severed Hand. Last year, the band placed 3rd (out of 144 bands) in the Jersey Shows Battle of the Bands, and was nominated for Top Young Band in the Asbury Park Music Awards. Look for Severed Hand on VH1, featured in the special "I Married Sebastian Bach."
    "no joke...mature and entertaining" -Billboard.com "There is a hope for metal, and its name is Severed Hand" -thatssometal.com "Look for bigger and brighter things for these guys!!!" -metalfury.com "These guys are too damn good to walk around without a serious record deal. Potential, talent, courage or everything you want, Severed Hand is the band you're looking for!" -metaltoinfinity.tk

"Keep Your Wives Inside" Severed Hand's self-released debut album hit the shelves in November of 2005. Since then, hundreds of copies have sold worldwide!
