Recorded at the ominous Torture Compound Studios and refined to lethal perfection by Mendel bij de Leij of MbdL Productions, Torn From the Jaws of Death is an unrelenting onslaught that shows off Severe Torture at their most savage. The album is a feverish, bloodstained manifesto that digs its crusty scalpels into the deepest recesses of human depravity. From the guttural declaration of lead single "The Death of Everything" to the chaotic fervor of the title track the album feeds the bloodstream of the most brutal connoisseurs.

For over 25 years, SEVERE TORTURE has embodied the ethos of Brutal. Death. Metal. A genre-defining titan, they’ve held a commanding presence in the metal universe since 1997, blending intense performances with a relentless commitment to their visceral, raw sound.

Born from the bowels of the Dutch underground, the band emerged onto the world stage with their debut album Feasting On Blood, hailed as an epic watershed in the nascent wave of brutal death metal in 2001. Their hard-hitting, merciless sound has since rippled across North and South America, Europe, and Mexico; their trail marked by five ground-breaking releases over the past quarter-century.

Remaining relevant in the ever-evolving realm of metal is no small feat, a task Severe Torture met by continuously levelling up. In pursuit of rejuvenation and to capture the aggression and energy befitting of a new era, they amicably parted ways with original drummer Seth in 2018, bringing Damiën Kerpentier into the fold. The move signified a new chapter for the seasoned ensemble, marking a seismic shift that breathed fresh air into their creative process, leading to some of their darkest, most profound work yet.

This invigorated spirit came to life in 2022 with the release of the EP Fisting The Sockets – the band's first release in an astounding 12 years. The record served as a triumphant herald for their resurgence, re-signing with Season of Mist and rekindling the flame of their brutal origins amidst a pandemic-stricken world.

Now, in 2024, Severe Torture is set to escalate to new heights of sonic savagery with their sixth full-length album, Torn from the Jaws of Death. Recorded at the infamous Torture Compound Studios, the album stands as a testament to the raw energy, blood, sweat, and relentless brutality that the band represents.

From the aggressive whirlwind of riffs in The Death of Everything, to the haunting black metal nuances of the title track Torn from the Jaws of Death, the album is a death metal cogitation on murder, torture, and the madness of organized religions. Crafted with an unwavering commitment to the genre, Torn from the Jaws of Death is a grim reflection of the world, drenched in the band’s signature brutal death metal sound.

As the anticipation mounts for the release of Torn from the Jaws of Death, you can be sure Severe Torture remains alive and thriving in the heart of brutal death metal, pushing boundaries, and refusing to bow to conventions. A quarter-century in, these stalwarts of the scene are just getting started. Stay tuned to witness their relentless progression as they continue their incessant march through the annals of metal history.

The 20-year veterans are preparing to release a torrent of morbidity on Torn from the Jaws of Death, their anxiously anticipated sixth album.

On "Torn from the Jaws of Death", Severe Torture stay committed to unapologetic brutality. Crawling out of the unholy pit that is Torture Compound Studios, the band's new single is a voracious beast, armed to the teeth with throaty growls and bloody, punishing riffs. But while a cold-embrace for the faint of heart, it's also full of vitality. The lyrics, steeped in the long shadow of suffering under a fractured psyche, speak to an eerie sense of desolation, threading the fine line between life and death.

SEVERE TORTURE Streams New EP 'Fisting the Sockets' in Full

The time has arrived! After 12 years of silence, death metal machine SEVERE TORTURE has returned with a brand new EP, 'Fisting the Sockets!' The band has teamed up with Death Metal Promotions to stream the record in its entirety before its release THIS Friday, June 10. Listen below.

In addition, the brutal death metal outfit will be performing in the United States on October 10 at the New Standard Elite Festival in Las Vegas, NV!

SEVERE TORTURE comment on the stream: "To put it bluntly; We are so fucking proud to share these songs with all of our death metal friends around the world! This EP is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg of signature Severe Torture death metal that lurks beneath the surface. So enjoy our new EP to get a taste of what’s to come in the very near future! Stay brutal!"

Pre-sales are now live at the Season of Mist shop HERE. The album can be pre-saved HERE.

Brutal. Death. Metal. 
These words define the unique sound of the extreme metal that SEVERE TORTURE is known for since 1997. SEVERE TORTURE has been a constant force over the last 25 years, in presence as well as in their line-up. Their debut album "FEASTING ON BLOOD'' was hailed as an instant classic in the early beginnings of the new wave of brutal death metal in 2001.

Ever since the release of their debut the band has toured extensively. Playing shows in North and South America, Mexico and their home continent Europe in support of the 5 albums they have released over the last 25 years. 

Since SEVERE TORTURE is about quality not quantity, they have been laying low since their latest album “SLAUGHTERED”, released in 2010. While still playing shows for the love of the genre, the band was in search of the brutality and energy needed for the material of a new SEVERE TORTURE album. This soul-searching led to the amical split with original drummer Seth in 2018, who was replaced 2018 by Damien Kerpentier. With renewed energy and focus the band started with a clean slate by writing new material, arguably their best material to this day.  

“FISTING THE SOCKETS” will be the first feat of SEVERE TORTURE in 12 years. The band has re-signed their deal with Season of Mist and if it wasn’t for a certain pandemic this upcoming EP “FISTING THE SOCKETS” was probably released much earlier. 

SEVERE TORTURE is currently recording their full-length album, to be released early 2023 through Season of Mist Records.
