Apparition
I’m not real
Film on doors
I disappear
Abomination
Mistaken form
Shame on eyes
Scars and causes tears
Aversion
Repulsive worthless soul
The taste in mouths
Stains and never clears
I thought I could hear
the sound of my mind burning that night
Abhorrence
A thought that no one wants
Mentioned name
Spoils and agitates
Convulsion
Fear you’re trying to shake
The sense that we exist
Ruins and desecrates
Detachment
A home you’ll never find
The scent inside your nose
Irritates
I thought I could hear
the sound of my mind burning that night
Birthed from a quarantined manic episode, Severed Boy are a duo comprised of Nicholas Wolf and Reid Calkin, both of Lunglust. The band's public debut, Tragic Encounters features 20 minutes of upsetting and uncomfortable death-doom, squarely focused on the absolute worst acts committed by the human mind and body. Viscous yet virile, tar-thick but not without upticks in speed, and cunningly crushing and atmospheric in equal measure, Severed Boy's first strike is a wholly auspicious one, suggesting more miasmic mastery to come.
And thus does form meet content, and moniker matching same. As Wolf explains, "When I was writing the songs and starting to think about what the lyrical content would be, I wanted to focus on how people could be capable of acting out such horrible acts on each other - whether it’s not caring, or in this case, NOT KNOWING. There’s a sample from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in that drone track ['Agony and Despair']. I started to fixate on the subject not having a conscience like the monster, or being able to just turn off the conscience. The name Severed Boy is the idea that someone could sever the actions of their mind from the actions of their body, and the consequences of doing so."
Written, performed, mixed, and mastered by the band at Wolf House, Tragic Encounters features artwork by Form Terror Growth and logo by Heavy Hand. On evidence of this debut effort, try cutting yourself off from Severed Boy!

Though somewhat of an oversimplification, Abhorrent Rapture takes the very best of Bolt Thrower and Incantation and ups the tempo by about 50 percent, all the while perfectly balancing a grimy death metal sound with thick, robust production value. Do you like riffs? Do you like menacing atmosphere? Do you like unapologetic aggression? Given that your only answers here can be “yes”, you will most certainly appreciate Witch Vomit’s sub-20 minute offering of death metal goodness! Ippocalyptica
