I thought this was their sophomore album.

The press release says debut. Perhaps MA made a mistake and has an EP listed as a full-length?

The press release reads as follows:

Quote:
One of the best new American death metal bands, California's Deadly Remains truly crushes all in its path. The band's debut album, "Severing Humanity," is an impressive display of pure, brute force.

This says debut as well.

I still think the band has a way to go, but it's not terrible. I still think the latest album from Offending is leaps and bounds better. But that's just me.

This is their 2nd album, though they played death/thrash on their first release: Before The Nothing (2010).

As for this album it's one of my favorite albums in the genre. One of the best of 2012 and one of the best BDM releases I've heard so far. I absolutely love it.

This is what I had to say about it in my little blurb on RYM:

Fantastic album in the vein of Pathology, Dying Fetus, Defeated Sanity, Cannibal Corpse, Severe Torture, and Abnormality with some Abominable Putridity sprinkled in. What you get here is energetic brutal riffing enhanced by filthy chord-work that doesn't deviate too far from what makes BDM good. However, the band adds a slew of disgusting sounding chords that really brings the otherwise formulaic but very high quality BDM sound up a few levels. There are not a ton of slams or breakdowns - very few if any, really. The vocals are a component of the music - the don't get in the way. The vocals are actually very similar to those of Pathology. The bass-work stands out in a good way. This album really hits the mark for me and I keep listening over and over. One of my favorite BDM albums to date, in part because it has no real faults but also brings the standard BDM fare up several notches in terms of creativity and sound/production above and beyond what you would expect from more typical bands in the genre. A great find and really worth checking out.

That's strange, cause the label has their first release too and also lists it as a debut. Though it has it pegged as an EP/MCD of sorts, which could explain why they're both labeled that way.
I really don't think it's an EP though, 'cause according to MA Before The Nothing is longer than Severed Humanity.

You have my attention.

This ended up being my #1 album of 2012.
