SEVERE TORTURE WORKING ON NEW ALBUM

Dutch brutal death metallers SEVERE TORTURE have started the writing process
for their next album, the follow-up to 2007's SWORN VENGEANCE.

SEVERE TORTURE bassist PATRICK BOLEIJ discusses the band's recent
activities:

"Here's a short update to let you all know what's been going on in the
Severe Torture camp over the last couple of months. We've actually been
working our asses off, writing the finest death metal tunes possible. We
have about 6 songs down and riffs and ideas for 4 or 5 more. We'll be
finishing those in the next 2 months. Musically it's gonna be one of the
fastest, sickest and most brutal Severe Torture records ever! This stuff is
gonna be fuelled by the sheer disgust of all the whimpy, lame-ass,
fashion-crap that's been polluting the music industry for years. And it
made us realize all the more what we love most... Playing brutal fuckin'
death metal. The plan is to start pre-production in July and have
everything ready for recording in September.

"As far as festivals go we have a pretty laid-back Summer coming up;
"Neurotic Deathfest" on May 30th in Tilburg (Netherlands) and "Move Your
Fucking Brain" in Barcelona (Spain) on the 4th of July. We are exited to
play at Neurotic again this year and we can't wait to play Spain again in
July. Maybe we'll throw in a new song just to try out, who knows... Check
our MySpace in the coming months for more updates and video-previews of the
new stuff. It's gonna be brutal!"

Catch SEVERE TORTURE live this Summer at the following shows:

30 May 2009 - Tilburg, Netherlands - Neurotic Deathfest, 013
04 July 2009 - Barcelona, Spain - Move Your Fucking Brain Extreme Fest
