BIOGRAPHY/REVIEWS:(Death List)
This is one brutal heavy metal platter. Musically comparable to Carcass "Heartwork" or even Sepultura's "Chaos AD." There is nothing "core" about this CD, rather Severed walks a fine line between thrash and death metal.Since I dug Obliteration, I was excited to hear this,Good drumming, heavy riffs to bang your head to, and some shredding guitar solos make for some brutal death metal. Killer cover, too. The vocals are what get in the way of this album. A re-release with the original vocalist would get a lot more play from me.
The guys retooled and renamed the band "Death List." Kevin Tubby was assigned to take over the vocal duties in addition to being the lead guitarist. Greg Berger also was soon to leave the band as well. They brought in a new bassist which made the lineup changes consist of the following:
As "Death List," the band would eventually release their first and only full length album entitled, "Severed." Severed was picked up for worldwide distribution through Cross Rhythms Music (which is now Blastbeats Music). "Severed" was received well amongst fans nationally and worldwide but failed to garner the same praise and accolades by fans when compared to the OBLITERATION material. The band also took criticism in reviews from several magazines, including HM Magazine, as well as online music sites due to the controversial cover art of the "Severed" album. The artwork depicts a girl who has been decapitated, with the head lying in proper position above the neck with the rest of the body in a transparent body bag. It was somehow rumored that the artwork on the front of the cd insert was a true and real picture of a real decapitated girl. However, there is no truth to those rumors. It is indeed a true and real picture, but it is NOT a "REAL" dead girl who has been decapitated. It is uncertain how this rumor got started, but there is no truth to those accusations (Editor's note: I should know since I was the original vocalist of the band.(http://www.veilofdisdain.com/downloads.html)
Cross Rhythms/Blastbeats Music also put together and released a compilation entitled, "Chords of the Grave," which included the entire OBLITERATION demo. It also included several other significant and notable underground christian death metal bands such as Oblation and Disencumbrance. The "Chords of the Grave" compilation was a smashing success within the christian death metal scene worldwide and was well-respected within the underground secular death metal scene also. To this day, "Chords of the Grave" is widely viewed as perhaps the greatest christian death metal compilation in history(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
