TORNADO Frontman JOEY SEVERANCE - "I'm Not Able To Understand The Hating Of My Fellow Man Because They Look Different From Me"
July 21, 2015, 9 years ago
Joey Severance, frontman for sleaze metal bashers Tornado, has checked in with the following:
"I would like to remind everyone that we are all in this together. This little blue marble floating in the vastness of space is all we have. Each other, is all we have. Every time I see something negative and hateful, my heart grows heavier. I understand that we are not perfect and there are bad apples everywhere, but one bad apple does not spoil the bunch.
I am not able to understand nor do I want to understand the hating of my fellow man because they look different from me, or because they come from a different place than I do. I am not encouraging you, I am challenging you: Post something positive, something encouraging, be it a song, an article, a picture, anything! Life is too short for nonsense. Literally, it could end before you blink your eye. We the people, we have the power to bring change. Use your positive influence to help bring this change. Challenge your friends to do the same. This is my song of hope..."
Tornado signed a worldwide deal with Wormholedeath earlier this year for the release of their sophomore album, Black President. To celebrate, the band released their official video for the track "David And Goliath”. The album has had limited release thus far and is due to hit the shelves worldwide on July 28th.
Says singer Superstar Joey Severance: “We are extremely grateful and excited to be a part of the Wormholedeath family and look forward our future cooperation with the label. Lock up your girlfriends, wives and daughters. Sleazy thrash is coming your way!”
Worm stated: "When I got to know Joey I understood that I was in front of someone with a unique attitude and loyalty. Tornado have been pushing so hard during these years ... So hard that they have been able to work with Peter Tagtgren and get a deal with Listenable Records for their debut album Amsterdam. This is just to underline that I was more than honoured when I got their email. Their new album is like a blast and it has this unique sound since they have been able to create a very strong drive with both Scandinavian and bay area thrash elements. By the way, not many words are needed here...This is a real band with a real attitude and everyone should check them out. A fucking Tornado is coming our way, this is what I wanted to say.”
