Background notes
Archive material and source history
Severed Head of State formed in New York City in the late 1990s, with Justin Pearson on bass and vocals, Gabe Serbian on drums, and Kevin Hufnagel on guitar. Their debut album, 'A Frigid Chill, Not Of Winter,' came out in 2001. The title track from that record, along with songs like 'A Future Like A Guillotine' and 'Blood Of Vengeance,' gives a sense of their sound, dissonant, heavy, and lyrically dark.
They've put out a handful of albums since then, including 'The Body and the Blood' in 2004, 'Blood of a Nation' in 2007, 'No God' in 2011, and 'Cavalcade' in 2014. The band's lineup has shifted over time, and their material has often dealt with grim or unsettling themes, which has drawn some criticism along the way.
Their music isn't for everyone, but if you're into heavy, atmospheric metal with a bleak edge, tracks like 'A Sacrament Of The Sick' or 'Adversity' might land. They've kept at it without much mainstream fuss, which feels about right for a band that started in the New York underground.
