Represents the brutality of the band.

Sometimes around December 2003, guitarist Nahian put up an advertisement on some local site searching for a drummer savoring similar taste in music. Few days later, Dipro contacted and started jamming with him with the intent to create a band embodying blistering speed, total brutality, technical proficiency, and the utmost in quality extreme musicianship. The two set upon the difficult task to recruit a killer line up and start one of the the first Death/Extreme acts in Bangladesh. Dipro's cousin Nashine used to visit the jamming sessions to throw his growls with them. In January 2004, Nahian convinced his long-time friend Hamdan Kabir Safir (Hamdu) to pick up the bass and join them. But the founder Guitarist Nahian had doubts with Nashine - basically he was looking for a more versatile vocal. He asked his good friend Rafa for any other options. Coincidentally, Rafa was also good friends with vocalist Shawki, who possessed an unbelievably monstrous voice of unmatched ferocity. After hearing Nahian's intentions, Shawki aligned himself with the nascent group. Back then, they used to call themselves as "666" who would represent the aggression and the brutality of the beasts and monsters.

A month after formation, the band landed a high-profile gig "Metal Mayhem" on 13 February 2004, at a local venue called Russian Cultural Center with local headliners Artcell and such bands. The band unleashed on the unsuspecting crowd a torrent of unbelievably brutal, pulverizing death metal. Soon after, they started to get a great feedback from the local underground scene and appreciation from the massive headbangers.

In August 2004, the quartet found Guitarist Salekin, who enabled the artists to push the boundaries of their music even further. In between late 2004 and mid 2005 the band was confronted with a series of unexpected situations including line up replacements. Bassist Hamdu decided to leave the band who got busy with studies and lost interest in doing Extreme Stuff. From September 2004 to November 2004, bassist Zubaidur (Firebrand, STS) played for the band in several gigs. Nahian was looking for a more devoted bassist for the band. In December 2004, he offered bassist Shahriar, previously of Voodoo Economics, to join with them replacing Zubaidur. Nevertheless, the band tore its way through every obstacles and ripped to pieces everything that crossed its path.

Having set for a relentless musical war, the band entered the studio in January 2005 and recorded their first single "Mrittu (Jonmer Purbe)" which got released in a mixed band compilation album "Aguntuk 3" under the label G-Series. The revamped lineup immediately exploded in the local gigs and delivered a punishing concussion, an arsenal of merciless guitar works with a monstrous vocal triumvirate and a rapid-fire devastating percussive attack. The buzz on the band quickly grew as word of their uncompromising live performances spread rapidly.

During the end of 2005, the band changed their name from 666 to SEVERE DEMENTIA. On 7 December 2005, the band released their second single "Demented Mentation" in a mixed-band compilation album "Adhar" under the label of Dead Line Music. Demented Mentation showcased Severe Dementia's otherworldly musicianship while delivering fierce deathgrind, merging technicality with utter brutality. Very shortly, one of the founder members, drummer Dipro left the band due to his family problems. Few days later, Nahian's good friend Drummer Rahee joined Severe Dementia furthering the thunderous assault.

Currently Severe Dementia are working on a split album along with some other local extreme bands.

Death, Kreator, Monstrosity, Nile, Psycroptic, Necrophagist, etc.
