LONG OVERDUE UPDATE

Where to start... We had a great time on the Cannibal tour, despite several problems with our bus and the eventual ball of flames that it became outside of Houston Texas...but more on that later. 

We want to thank Cannibal Corpse and all of the guys in Black Dahlia Murder for being cool as fuck!!  We had a great time hanging out and partying with them all.  Special thanks to Andy Crow and Ian Eskridge for hooking us up with killer sound throughout the tour.  To all of the promoters, other bands and killer fans that we played with, hung out with and met for the first time, thanks for an excellent time and awesome tour. 
We look forward to getting out and seeing everyone again as soon as possible.

Now, in regards to our bus and what some of you may have heard...Firstly, we'd like to apologize for missing the Vancouver show due to our driver running us out of fuel in the mountains where we spent about 36 hours on the side of the road waiting for help.  We'd also like to apologize for missing the Albuquerque show due to a blown tire that took all day to get changed.  Lastly, we'd like to apologize for missing the New Orleans show.  Unfortunately, our bus caught fire outside of Houston Texas, as mentioned before.  Luckily, everyone made it through semi-safely.  Mike suffered minor smoke inhallation but was released from the hospital later that day. The rest of us just got sunburned or heat exhaustion from being out on the side of the road all day.  Troy managed to get a fair amount of equipment off of the bus before the fire was too far out of control and thankfully due to Murray's quick fingers getting 911 on the phone, the fire department showed up quickly and put it out before all was lost.  In the end, we lost some cds and merch either from heat or water damage.  One of Troy's bass drums got charred but is salvageable, luckily it was in a case and only the case was completely ruined.  Murray's bass rig survived the fire but was thoruoughly soaked by the firemen and suffered minor damage but is repairable.  Everything else made it through fairly unscathed.  We managed to salvage almost everything of value once the fire was out minus some personall effects and appliances.  A very nice lady brought us cold drinks and a few people volunteered to help us haul and store our gear.  In the end, we accepted a ride to a nearby U-haul location and rented a truck.  We loaded the gear and went to a nearby hotel.   The next day we started our long drive home. 

The charred mess of a bus is sitting in a towing yard in Katy Texas if anyone is interested in a recently rebuilt, low mileage engine and transmission, etc. 



Gathering of the Sick Fest - August 20-21st Albuquerque, New Mexico


Huge thanks go out to everyone for coming out and having a good time. Thanks to Joe Hernandez for bringing us down and having us on the bill. Big thanks to Matt and All shall Perish for letting us use their drum kit. We had a good time and were glad to be able to play the fest, especially because we missed the Albuquerque show on the Cannibal tour due to a blown tire.

We'd also like to thank Joe again as well as all the guys and gals from all the other bands that went to Joe's after party...we had a great time, I think, I can't really remember...probably from drinking hard alcohol on an empty stomach, hmm...Thanks.

SEVERED SAVIOR Website Finally Back up

Sorry for the downtime.  We had hosting issues or rather our hosting company had issues and in order to preserve our email and other site data we had to wait for the site to be restored from a back up rather than just upload the content again.  We apologize for the shit being down for so long.
