From the booming, anticipatory chords of album opener “Isolation (Desperation)” to the glacial, thundering death rattle of closer “Symbiosis,” Sever The Wicked Handis nothing short of a triumph—both musically and personally. “I gave up drugs and alcohol back in August,” Windstein explains, “so it was a cool experience writing and singing everything completely sober. I’ve pretty much always done my guitar tracks without beer, but when I would sing, I would get tanked. This time it was a very different emotional experience doing it with a clear head, especially because so many lyrics on this record are very personal. I was nervous about it, but it worked out really well.”
Indeed, most of the songs on Sever The Wicked Hand detail the various physical and psychological aspects of Windstein’s sobriety process. “It’s not a concept record, but it’s definitely got a theme,” he clarifies. “Sever The Wicked Hand is just a metaphor for cutting anything negative out of your life. Obviously, it can be the hand that pulls the beer to your mouth, the hand that holds the straw to your nose, the hand that pops the pill in. It could be getting rid of a bad relationship, a bad friendship—anything that brings negativity to your life in any way. It’s about getting rid of that and moving forward.”
