Bio:
Severed Angel is a metal band from the Northeastern United States (NY and PA) forged to unleash a sonic assault of melodic heavy metal upon the masses.In 2018, drummer Wayne Noon started the Rat Salad Review network to promote his favorite bands and have fun with a podcast that provides insight to the metal bands that the mainstream media are unaware of. Some of those bands included Timeless Haunt (PA), The Nightmare Stage (NY), Infinite Spectrum (NY), and Tension Rising (NY).As the original drummer for Phoenix Reign, a NYC-based power metal band, they released an album called “Destination Unknown,” and toured around the tri-state area. Their final show was at the Gramercy Theater in NYC opening for international recording artists Epica.In 2019, guitarist Lou Mavs started his podcast (Music Is Life Podcast) discussing his opinions and experience as a musician. Wayne and Lou were friends from the time Phoenix Reign was playing shows in Lou’s native Queens, NY, and Wayne asked Lou if his podcast would join Rat Salad Review as a show on the network, to which he did.In late 2020, Wayne was preparing the release of his new band Project Resurrect. It was around that time that the music world suffered the loss of Edward Van Halen. Lou and Wayne suggested that they cover a Van Halen song as a tribute to Eddie, and enlisted the services of Timeless Haunt bassist George Dimitri and Thrash Or Die/Combat vocalist Ralph Viera. The cover was released to positive responses. 2021 saw the release of Project Resurrect’s “False Reality” CD and Rat Salad Review & Friends’ “Cover Series, Part 1” EP.In early 2022, Wayne suggested forming a new original band with Lou, George, The Nightmare Stage keyboardist Marc Muchnik, and Infinite Spectrum bassist/songwriter Alex Repetti (also of Tension Rising and Project SEAR), Lou provided an original demo written 12 years ago called “Dogs of War,” which was written as entrance music for his cousin - MMA fighter Robby Plotkin (currently a US Army Ranger). Wayne thought the song was perfect for this new project and arranged a new version of it, to which Marc and Alex wrote lyrics, and Lou re-recorded his parts. Upon completion of the song, it was official - Severed Angel was born.Their debut CD was written, recorded, mixed and mastered within 3 months. In that time, Severed Angel started working on more material, many of which were released as singles: “A Fate Worse Than Death,” “Run and Hyde,” “Bump In The Night,” and “Mt. Cyanide.” Their self-titled debut CD was released on May 2nd, 2023.Their second album "Skyward" will be available on Friday, May 3rd, 2024 on their Bandcamp site.
Album:
From the Northeastern US comes the melodic, metallic Severed Angel.Severed Angel: “Skyward” Digital and CD 3rd May 2024 Self Released. USA Heavy / Power / Metal / Progessive band.A year after the release of their first album, the band is back with a brand new album! It seems like they never stop composing. A versatile inspiration combining several influences with many passages. Like an Opera rock, you have several voices with different moods. You are embarking on a journey like an audio book telling you stories in an entertaining moment.Another hero on the cover, this time looking more like an angel compared to the previous warrior one. Melting with modern bands, a mix of plenty of influences kind be a bit disturbing at first except if you are used to the new bands and sounds. Keyboardist Marc Muchnik has a big part in this new opus. Melodies and fast-kicking heavy riffs. Oriental parts, growling voice, everything is here to please the masses.Chirugical passages à la Meshuggah, cuting edge of the Heavy Metal style. This album has much mainstream sound that will gain tons of new fans for sure. A blend old sound with new ones making Severed Angel a modern Metal band.Influences Megadeth, Iced Earth, Lars Eric Mattson, Metallica, Papa Roach, Judas Priest, Hydrogyn, Chastain, Queensryche, Myrath, Avenged Sevenfold, and many more.Produced and mixed by lead vocalist/guitarist Alex Repetti and mastered by Joel Wanasek, this album has an explosive sound to blast the world like a bomb.
