Lancaster Foundation and also in Buckley at Nino & Jess fest. You guys will
be missed.
Thanks to one

Severenth are certainly a force to be reckoned
with and a great live experience to boot! I should know after seeing them live
at Deathwave, they really pulverised the Lomax stage with their vibrant style
of metal and not a still head in the house!
It gives me the
greatest pleasure to introduce to you Severenth
with the latest offering Reveal.
The Question
Starts off in
true Severenth style with a superb
scream and a fast array of guitar and kick drumming which will blow you away.
The breakdown is immense with crisp guitar and a more mellow vocal following
until the build-up reaches it goal and then more scathing vocal enters it’s a real
mix of brutal and beautiful. Severenth is
in my eyes a very professional outfit, and have produced some amazingly
powerful tracks that are just mind-blowingly brilliant, under the ever watchful
guise of Mike Green the band’s Manager.
Cover your Mouth
A bit more
mellow than the previous track but still kicks ass! The harmonies are just
superb and that squeak from the guitar really gets you in the mood for a great
mosh out even if it is only just in your bedroom!
Taken the fall
Great drumming
opens on this track and a mighty scream takes over with energetic guitar riffs –
this band just makes me want to pick up a guitar and join in – sadly I only
have my air guitar so that will have to do, and my hair brush will have to
double up as a mic but they really sweep you into their rhythms with so much
aggression and ferocity. This track is rhythmic and powerful with heaps of
energy – so hooked on this band!
They drown in air
I can’t help
but think that they should re-name this title to “They drown in H(air)!! But I
would! :D This is a delicious offering with chugging guitars and screaming
vocals animalistic drumming, solid bass and holds some well-balanced harmonies –
its endless journey builds to a mighty crescendo and creates a most powerful
mix.
Not Worthy
Beautiful melodic
guitars and sensational drumming with the most amazing screams known to man
this is wild and brutal in every sense of the word! Rhythmic qualities in
abundance here and a superb track to mosh out to! The guitars actually excel on
this track with great finish!
Two Mirrors
My favourite
track so turning the volume up as far as the ailing speaker dial will go
and going to enjoy this track whilst the room shakes around me – sod the
neighbours!! Time to get aggressive and make your ears bleed – Damn you head
stop shaking! – Dave’s drumming is just awesome loving those feet of yours for
giving us this superb rhythm and the harmonies between Peet and Ben well fook! What
can I say other than sheer perfection! I have already listened to this track
well over 100 times now and each time I listen it is like I am hearing it for
the first time. I hope I manage to get through this track without repeating it
but very difficult as it is just outstanding!
2 Mirrors - fantastic track - so good you cant just play it once!
Born to Suffer
Some-time
later... This track has some deftly played strings that have far reaching
memorability and is another beauty! The
powerful rhythmic tendencies just crush you with extreme aggression and again
vocally superb with all-round well balanced rhythms and beats that will eat you
alive. It surges ahead at a breakneck speed, with riffs flying around like
bullets from a ready pistol!
What you want from me
This track is a
right royal stomper, and will have you moving round the room at a rate of knots
mind-milling or head banging take your pick – gives me goose-bumps as the
guitars work their magic and the scornful vocals edge their way to the audial
cavities. I will have a fookin’ heart attack any minute!! How I love the
aggressive and raw complexities of this album – can they play any
faster???? Oh blimey call me an
ambulance!
All that’s left
Strikingly
superb strings open this track and an array of mesmerising drum beats start off
with a more moderate pace before cranking up, so fast my feet won’t keep up in
fact – clean vocals on this track are superb and again with death defying
harmonies it livens up pretty quickly! It is a very interesting track that
offers a nice diverse approach, fast, raucous and slow and deliberate it holds
everything! Down-right superb all round!
All I ever
All together “screammmmmmmmmm”
again a well-balanced harmonious rhythmic track that incorporates thunderous
drum beats and crisp cranked up guitar, solid bass and vocally has a lot of
range and expression.
The Answer
A stupendous
musical cacophony of rhythms with soft vocals at the beginning but not long
before Ben adds his growls and is another very interesting and original piece of solid
music offering a distinct sound as brutal as ever and reaches sacrilegious
depths with remarkable playing and vocal abilities by every member of the band.
To sum up:
Faultless, the compelling
deluge of adrenalized and skilfully constructed, stirring rhythmic metal Severenth have certainly shown
expertise and have an impressive technique in bringing to mind the simple joys
of sheer unadulterated heavy metal. Long may they continue to practise their
superb music for a long time to come!
If you don’t
own Reveal yet then I urge you to go
and buy it and add it to your ever growing CD collection because once you hear
it – like me you will become a Severenth
addict and the only way to deal with the addiction is to play it constantly
with the volume turned up to skull splitting levels and mosh the feck out!
There are no duff tracks anywhere on this album – what you get are 11 tracks of
brutal with plenty of melody, groove and very addictive – in your face, up your
ass, METAL!
