About the Artist

SEVERE TORTURE started in 1997 with the following line-up: Thijs/guitars, Seth/drums, Erik/vocals, Jelle/guitars and Patrick/bass. With this line-up they recorded "Baptized...", a 5-song demotape/CD produced by Vincent Dijkers (Sinister, Houwitser), in 1998. SEVERE TORTURE spread 600 copies all over the world and got a lot of good reactions but no good offers from records labels.

After the release of the demo Eric left SEVERE TORTURE to join dutch death metal masters SINISTER. Also around the same time Seth and Patrick joined the dutch band CENTURIAN to complete their line-up but continued playing in SEVERE TORTURE, their No.1 band . Eric got replaced by vocalist Dennis and with this line-up SEVERE TORTURE recorded a 2-song promoCD just for labels. After getting a lot of good reactions SEVERE TORTURE played a gig with IMMOLATION and this caused the leaving of guitarplayer Jelle. Meanwhile DAMNATION RECORDS released the 2-song promo on 7” vinyl called 'Pray for Nothing' and was limited to 500 handnumbered copies. At this moment the 7” is sold-out.

SEVERE TORTURE continued as a 4-piece band and signed a contract for 1 CD with FADELESS RECORDS. After a couple of months Wilko of FADELESS RECORDS joined the HAMMERHEART RECORDS team and started up the sub-label THE PLAGUE. Meanwhile SEVERE TORTURE appeared at the NO MERCY 2000 festival in 013/Tilburg with CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE, VADER, HATE ETERNAL and VOMITORY and SEVERE TORTURE did their first tour, 9 days across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Belgium and Holland with DAMNATION(pl) and the last 3 gigs also with PYAEMIA(hol). After this minitour SEVERE TORTURE started the recordings of the full-length 'Feasting on Blood' at Franky's Recording Kitchen with producers Berthus Westerhuys and Robbie Woning. The artwork for the album was done by Joe Maloney. ‘Feasting on Blood’ was released on oktober 9th 2000 in Europe and will be released in the USA through HAMMERHEART AMERICA in february 2001. The CD was also released on picture vinyl limited to 500 copies, worldwi! de.

SEVERE TORTURE did a European tour in january 2001 together with MACABRE(USA), BROKEN HOPE(USA) and DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER(DE) called ‘Masters of Murder 2001’. During this tour THE PLAGUE released the 7” ‘Lambs of a God’; 2 unreleased tracks (Taking down the Descender / Lambs of a God) on green vinyl limited to 500 copies. At this moment this 7” is sold out.

February 2001 THE PLAGUE changed into HAMMERHEART RECORDS and offered SEVERE TORTURE a contract for 2 more full-lengths. Meanwhile Seth and Patrick stopped playing in CENTURIAN because Wim and Rob (CENTURIAN-drummer/-guitarist) wanted fully-commited bandmembers. They are still in good contact and you can expect SEVERE TORTURE / CENTURIAN gigs in the future. April 2001, the month SEVERE TORTURE invaded the USA live. SEVERE TORTURE played the OHIO DEATH FEST together with EXHUMED, DEEDS OF FLESH and many more, and played two gigs with PESSIMIST and BURIAL and spreaded their music in the States.

The person who gave this album 1 star...I wonder why the hell you even bothered to listen to this band since obviously you're a stero-type and you will never be able to listen to DM...Anyways, this is a very high quality release...The production is superb(!), and this band displays some sick, brutal, grinding DM!!! The songs are pretty technical and catchy, the vocals are really sick, and I'm pretty impressed by the high-quality musicianship of this brutal Dutch band... Anyways, people who digs (Old)Suffocation, (Old)Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Devourment, Disgorge, Brodequin....stuff like that, listen to this band!!! You won't be disappointed!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Wish There Were a Rating of 16!, February 11, 2002

Oh man! This is easily the best band on the planet right now.With a combo of heavy (I mean brutally heavy) guitar riffs and dark inspirational lyrics that match the vocals.This is what makes them the best death metal band on the planet.The best thing about these guys is that you can really tell that the music is real. Their lyrics are so inspirational and filled with real angst that really touch the heart(unlike wannabes like those SlipKnot kids).Bottom line: this album is a must buy for any death metal fan,or any fan of music that involves inspirational well written songs with brilliant guitar work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brutally heavy death metal., February 28, 2001

This album shreds! Sounding like a mix between Dying Fetus and Cannibal Corpse, Severe Torture leave very little to be wanted. With intense drumming, excellent vocals and a very original style of death metal. I suspect these guys are going to be very big in the underground scene within the next two albums they release. I recommend this album HIGHLY to anyone who enjoys the faster and more blasty style of death metal. Definately at least worth a listen, whether you like that style or not...very very original band.
