Severed Heaven

Forming early 2007, this Northern quintet is here to take the world by storm, leaving no prisoners in its mighty wake. Hailing from Leeds, Severed Heaven combines brutality, technicality and pure, raw talent to create their very own brand of extreme metal.

Severed Heaven’s first claim to fame came when the band took BBC3’s Singing with the Enemy by storm, going head to head with a glam rock band to create a genre bending single. After the success of the show, Severed Heaven played a series of gigs across the UK and recorded their first EP at Hellfire Studios in Birmingham.

2008 and 2009 lead to a series of high profile shows, including support slots with Gallhammer, Nemhain, Dames of Darkness Festival and a many more shows to rave reviews! As the band continued to play, the girls reached new heights, playing two dates with Hecate Enthroned, a prestigious slot supporting black metal legends Gorgoroth, headlining shows at Camden’s Purple Turtle followed by dates with Sworn Enemy, Hecate Enthroned and Infernal Damnation VI alongside Hate and Shining.

Perhaps the most high profile show of Severed Heaven’s career to date and their biggest accomplishment came when they were chosen to headline Bloodstock festivals unsigned stage, an outstanding performance to a packed out crowd led to an overwhelming demand for Severed Heaven.

Severed Heaven recorded their debut album "Incessant Darkness" at Silent City Studios. The album was self released in Novemember 2010, limited copies are available to buy at http://www.severedheaven.bigcartel.com/ or can be downloaded from itunes, amazon mp3, spotify and various other digital retailers.

In 2011 Severed Heaven introduced new drummer, Hayley Morgan and continued to tear up the North with numerous gigs including a support slot with the immense Winterfylleth in Liverpool.

In March the band were "headhunted" by No Ego Music and have recently secured a deal for their new album which will be recorded in September for release in 2012. A European will follow.
