2) Severance is a death metal band from USA. They formed in 1989.

Since its conception in May of 1989, SEVERANCE has been feeding the metal underground scene with its brand of aggressive music and, to this day, continues its journey through the extreme. The later part of 1991 marked the release of their five-song demo 'Afterbirth of Infamy'.

After several months of promoting this release, Drowned Productions, now known as REPULSE RECORDS, approached the band to do a 7'EP in 1992. This two-song vinyl release, titled 'Abysmal Ascent', got quite a bit of attention in the underground scene and gained SEVERANCE the worldwide recognition they were striving for.

Just as things started to look promising, obstacles confronted SEVERANCE that forced a lenghty standstill. For the next 4 years, the band underwent several line-up changes that altered the band from progressing any further.

During these 4 years of struggling to keep the band alive, SEVERANCE was busy doing interviews with magazines from every part of the globe, appearing on radio programs in over 10 different countries and answering hundreds of letters from supporters. The band continued to write music and rehearse even though a solid line-up had yet to be established.

Finally, in 1996, SEVERANCE released a self-financed CD entitled 'Salvation Denied', that gave a re-birth to a new era for SEVERANCE. After having sold hundreds of copies, the band has regained the support and following of the underground scene that it has tried hard to stay a part of.

The band released "From Which I Rise" in 2005 and are currently writiing new material for their next release due in 2008.
