Severe Torture, the Dutch death metal titans, return with a vengeance, bearing the blood-spattered banner of the genre. Unbowed and unbroken, this quintet embodies the truest strains of death metal virility. Crafted within the ominous walls of Torture Compound Studios, Torn from the Jaws of Death is a visceral testimony to Severe Torture's raw power and unrelenting savagery. Mixed and mastered with malignant precision by Mendel bij de Leij of MbdL Productions, each of the ten tracks bleeds supremacy - from the guttural roar of 'The Death of Everything' to the fiendish chaos of 'Tear all the Flesh off the Earth.' Pär Olofsson's macabre cover artwork ensnares the eye, while Severe Torture's relentless ferocity grips the soul. This album doesn't just confront the abyss - it strides forth, scythe in hand, ready to harvest the fears of the masses…

This set was a change of pace for tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. Backed by three trumpeters (Clark Terry gets some solos), a rhythm section (pianist Lloyd Mayers, bassist Larry Gales and drummer Ben Riley) and a percussion section led by Ray Barretto, Lockjaw performs four compositions by Gil Lopez (who arranged all of the selections) plus "Tin Tin Deo," "Star Eyes" and his own "Afro-Jaws." The Afro-Cuban setting is perfect for the tough-toned tenor, who romps through the infectious tunes.

Sonny Stitt (sticking to tenor on this set) sat in with fellow tenor Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis' trio (which also includes organist Doc Bagby and drummer Charlie Rice) for a spirited and typically competitive jam session. Since Davis and Stitt had different sounds (one has little difficulty telling them apart) and were equally skilled, their collaboration is a draw. In addition to three standards, this CD has five basic originals. The original LP's four numbers are joined by four equally heated selections from the same date that were previously put out by the Phoenix label. Easily recommended to bebop collectors.
