Severed Heads

Postby KYYX4ever » Tue May 17, 2005 11:18 am

Anyone here like these guys? Their 80's output was weirdly fascinating...I had the [i]Come Visit the BIg Bigot[/i] tape, which I loved for its sheer oddity. Recently I DL'd a bunch of their old material ([i]Bigot[/i], "Big Car"), and I'm intrigued all over again. Then, I burned another CD with more Industrial 80's "Godfathers", such as Skinny Puppy, Cabaret Volatire, early A Split Second, and a:grumh. But the Severed Heads material...boy, whaddya say to the outright minimalism of their 80s Industrial ? It's a whole different animal from today's "industrial".
fave songs: Big Car (Limo mix), Casey's Ion, Propellor.

Every eight months or so I go back to the well for a listen to my 'industrial/wax-trax' phase. I can't deny a decent sounding record from that genre!

The 12" single of 'Hot with Fleas' was my introduction to Severed Heads. Now I also have the 'Rotund

I got the [i]Stretcher[/i] CD from Tom Ellard a few years ago and was quite disappointed to find that the track labelled "Petrol 12 inch" was in fact the same as the one found on [i]Bulkhead[/i], not the "cut up mix" from the 12". Still, most of the remai

Great topic. I have all of their stuff. I beleive their cds are to be re-issued. "Rotund For Success", "Bad Mood Guy" and "Piscatorial" are my faves.
