Shows cancelled and new dates 8/3/06 3:59 PM
• We are sorry to inform everybody but we have to cancel the Saint show on 8/9. Our new guitarist Ed was recently in a motorcycle accident and suffered minor injuries to his hands and forearms. Luckily there was no major damage done and Ed will be able to play his instrument again soon. We apologize to the Saint as well as to TWiNE and Scars that Bind for not being able to be a part of this show. The show will still take place but Severance will not be on the bill, so please try to make it out and support the other bands that night. Ed Should be fully recovered by the end of August and we should be playing shows again sometime in September.
• On another note there has been some confusion from our part about the Starland show. We will NOT be playing with Powerman 5000 in September but instead we will be opening up for Testament on 10/12. We apologize for any confusion and we hope everyone makes it out to see us open for Testament. Keep on stopping by for more shows soon.

New Guitarist- 7/7/06 10:42 PM
Hey everyone, I know its been a while but we have been very busy and we figured we wouldn’t update you guys until we completed what we were out to do. As most of you may know by now, we have had only one guitarist since April but we had shows up until June. During this time we were very lucky to join up with our good friend Nick Dowe. Nick came into a very difficult situation having to learn enough songs in two weeks to play a show. We are very grateful for his contributions and dedication that he gave us in that time. If it weren’t for him Severance would not have been able to play the shows we booked. Nick will always be part of the Severance family and we wish him luck in anything he pursues and would like to say once again thank you for everything.

Now we would like to welcome Ed Tyler as the new guitarist for Severance. Ed has been playing guitar for about 9 years and has been in many bands before, including Desperate Act. From day one, Ed has been able to click with the rest of us, bringing a style which is similar to the Severance everyone has gotten to know. He also brings a style of music that is sure to change the future sound of Severance and push the limits of metal in general. With that said we want everyone to welcome Ed to the band. We have already begun writing songs and we will hopefully be back playing shows as early as August, but definitely by September. With that said Severance will be tearing shit up as usual very soon. So get ready.

Temp. Guitarist Found 4/10/06 11:42 PM
First off we would like to thank everyone who offered to help play these for us until we get a new guitarist. It was great to see that much support from the Jersey scene and from friends of ours. If there is anything we can do just let us know. We would also like to have a special thanks to [Recoil] and Sonicide for offering there members to fill in for us. So anyway on to the news: Severance has decided have our friend Nick Dowe sub in as our other guitarist for the next 3 shows. Nick has been in many bands in the late 90's and has been recently absent from the scene when he served in our armed forces. Nick will be filling in for the next 3 shows. Tryouts will begin on 5/14 so if you are interested in trying out feel free to email us. Thanks again for your support and we will see you on the 22nd at the Holy Cross Church.
Guitarist Needed 4/2/06 6:13 PM
We are sorry to inform you that our guitarist, John Demko is no longer in Severance. John was one of our founding members and has been with us for three great years and we thank him for that. But as we all know nothing last for ever and it was time for John to leave. We wish John luck in anything he pursues and all the other formal stuff any band says when they lose a member.

With that said, we are keeping all shows that are currently booked and we have and will need some temporary replacements for these shows until we get a full time replacement. With that said if there is anybody that wants to try out for Severance email us and we will work out tryouts soon. And if there are any other guitarists or bands that will lend out a guitar player for a gig or two please let us know.

All we can say right now is that Severance will go on. After these four shows that we already have booked, our priority will be to get a full time member. So once again if there is anybody you know that is interested. Please email me or if you have my number please contact us. Thank you

Severance

Shows, Pics, and Website updates. 3/21/06 2:23 PM
• Sorry this update is a little late but we are still trying to get comfortable with our new site. We were hoping to have more updates but progress as always is slow. As of right now all the bios are up. We are working hard in getting the Merch page up to date with all of our new items. We will also be adding more stuff to the Media page like songs and our new video for “I Remain” so please keep checking this page often.

• For our fans and friends in Ocean County we got 2 shows for you in the next couple of months. One of these shows is another benefit, this time with Strength in Numbers. So check out our shows page for more info

• And finally I want to thank everybody who came to our last show at the Starland. The pits looked brutal and the crowd surfing was insane, and we appreciate every moment we get to play for you guys. You are all the best! We will be getting pictures of the show on this page soon but you can also check www.prophecy21.com for other pictures of us taking that night.

It's Finally up 3/4/06 9:51 PM
Our website is officially online now. Thanks for being patient with us but we wanted to make sure the site looked good. We will continue to work on this site to keep it up to date. The media page as of now has just the lyrics but we are working to get some songs up and our video for "Slip" and our newest video for "I Remain" which will be available only through this site. Also we have pics from our last couple of shows in our pics page. And if you login to our pictures site you will be able to comment the pics and even rate them and in the future even add your own pics that you may have from our shows. We are looking forward to seeing what our fans will bring to that page. The merch page still needs to be updated and so does Bryan and Wil's Bio pages but we will get that done soon. Other than that the site is pretty much self explanatory, so enjoy and let us know what you think.
