On the 3rd Feb 2012 at Octane @ Cafe Cocomo in San Francisco, Severed Fifth will be having their official CD release party to launch their new album ‘Liberate’, produced by Juan Urteaga (Machine Head, Testament, Exodus).

The night will feature a headline set by Severed Fifth, and they will be supported by Ulysses Siren and My Victim. Everyone who comes to the show will get a free copy of the new album on CD and will be entered into various prize draws.

Advance tickets are $10 (which includes the free CD) which you can BUY HERE. Tickets on the door are $12. We would like to encourage you to buy tickets in advance so we can get an idea of numbers before the show.

Just a quick announcement, folks. Unfortunately Severed Fifth will not be performing at the Friday 13th Metal Massacre show at the Oakland Metro in January. There is a flyer floating around with our logo on it, but we are going to be unable to do the show. We just wanted to let you all know.

We wish Insanity, The Venting Machine, Saint Vernon and the other bands an awesome show!

Hi folks, I am pleased to announce the name of the new Severed Fifth album will be called Liberate and you can see the art for the new album below:

The artwork was created by our very own Ron Crockett. News on a release date will be coming soon, and some snippets from the album coming even sooner.

We have just added a stack of photos of Severed Fifth playing an awesome crop of gigs recently with some awesome bands. See the photos to see them!

Severed Fifth recently played Gary Holt’s wedding in Santa Clara supporting Exodus, Death Angel, Heathen, Attitude Adjustment and more, and we had a blast. Here is a video from the show:

Thanks to everyone who came to the show!

We are delighted that Severed Fifth will be supporting Exodus, Heathen, Attitude Adjustment and more at a gig in celebration of Gary Holt (w/Exodus) and Lisa Perticon’s wedding. It is on Sat 24th September 2011 at The Avalon in California and we hit the stage at 7pm. Be there!

We wanted to remind you all that on June 17th 2011 Severed Fifth will be supporting Dublin Death Patrol complete with Kaos and Fog Of War at MADHOUSE at Club Cocomo in San Francisco. For full details see our live shows page.

This is going to be a special show for a number of reasons. Firstly, Dublin Death Patrol are a stunning Bay Area thrash super-group and we are excited to be playing with them, but we will also be playing our first show with our new drummer Jim Walls. We have all been busily rehearsing ready for the show, and we are making great progress ready to deliver a thumping Severed Fifth performance at MADHOUSE.

Tickets are $15 advance and $20 on the door, and it is sure to be an incredible night. Be sure to get along and join us!

Unfortunately, Ben Gibbs is leaving Severed Fifth – we wish Ben all the best for the future.

As such we are now looking for a new drummer to join the band. We are out to have fun, write music and play shows, and we are looking for someone the same musical interests and outlook.

What we are looking for:

• Great technique – you blend together thrash and heavy metal drumming, have great double-kick technique and stamina.
• Flexible for rehearsals and shows – able to join rehearsals at least twice a week and available for playing shows.
• Available resources – you have all your own gear, are able to drive to practice and shows and able to contribute to the rent of our rehearsal space each month.
• Down with the ethos – Severed Fifth is a different kind of band – we give our music away for free and have a community that works together to help grow awareness of the band, you should be comfortable with this.
• Local – you should preferably be in the Oakland area.

Interested? Send Jono an email to jono AT severedfifth DOT com preferably with a link to some music online that demonstrates your playing. We look forward to hearing from you.
