S E V E R A N C E

A new chapter in the book of life was officially started on Saturday, December 19, 2009 when Severance vocalist Mike Mena married long-time girlfriend/fiance/common-law wife, Maggie Espericueta. After years of companionship, it seemed only fitting that this matrimony become official. Below is a picture of Mike and Maggie along with family members/friends. The red blotch under Mike's chin is not a tie, it's Mike's red-dyed beard. Congratulations Mike and Maggie (M&M); TIL DEATH DO YOU PART...JP.          

                                            

Our archival release Progression towards Purgatory is now in our hands and ready for purchase in our Web Store. This release was made possible by Burning Dogma and Sevared Records. There are 13 songs going back to our first studio demo from 1991, as well as a previously unreleased new song as well. This release is not to get mixed up with our new release The Truth in Question, which is due out in early 2010. Progression towards Purgatory is a great release to educate one's self on Severance's history. Check it out and get schooled on old-school death metal.

Things are starting to unfold in regards to our new album, The Truth in Question. To begin with, the mixing and mastering is complete. Ernie B. has once again taken control of the knobs, and we are very pleased with the sound's end result. Legendary artist and film producer S.V. Bell (Amorphis, Gutted, Kataklysm, etc.) has honored us by creating a piece that will be used for our artwork. (See the pic below.) Promotional material has been sent to three labels, and we are awaiting responses. This album should likely be released in early 2010. The song titles for this release are:
1. Euthanized
2. "Humunkind"
3. Beyond Barriers
4. Marred Souls
5. Ambivalent Reflections
6. Internal Inferno
7. Marching over Blood/Samurai (Attomica tribute)
8. Ascension to Nowhere (Instrumental/Interlude)
9. Immune to Immorality
                                                                        
                                            
The next step will be to get some group and individual photos taken by a photographer and to compose our thanks lists. We will inform you of any further developments. JP
