SEVERED ANGEL to Release Fourth Studio Album “The Cost of Creation” on December 11th, Lyric Video for ‘Mirage Of Love’ Out Now

Formed in 2022 by drummer Wayne Noon (Phoenix Reign, Project Resurrect, Absolon), the band brings together bassist George Dimitri (Taz, Timeless Haunt), keyboardist Marc Muchnik (The Nightmare Stage), vocalist/guitarist Alex Repetti (Infinite Spectrum, Tension Rising), and guitarist Lou Mavs (The Rebel Medium, Doc Reinhart). Following their self-titled 2023 debut, 2024’s charting Skyward, and 2025’s label debut When Eternity Ends, the band built a rapid momentum-releasing three records in three years by focusing on melodic, trend-free heavy music.

The Cost of Creation is their most ambitious project yet: a nine-song, hour-long progressive metal concept album exploring grief, memory, identity, and artificial intelligence. It will be released on December 11th. Rather than preaching about technology, the narrative follows a human story: a protagonist who uses Al and robotics to recreate deceased loved ones, only to face devastating psychological consequences.
