SEVERE TORTURE

Holland's SEVERE TORTURE are a sure hitter on the fast track to metal dominance. The band's US debut, Feasting on Blood, was welcomed by US audiences along their tour in spring of 2001. Metal fans applauded the band's sheer energy, dominating stage presence and punishing metal – likened to so many of the genre's top selling bands. Returning for another adventure, the Dutch band hope to take their previous US success and the current momentum on their latest album, Misanthropic Carnage, to new heights. Taking aim with their growing and respected death metal offerings, SEVERE TORTURE plan to unleash what many are already considering their best material to US audiences by way of album and a tour in 2003.
