The original members were Richard Fielding and Andrew Wright, and were soon joined by Tom Ellard. Fielding and Wright eventually left the group, leaving Ellard as the sole continuing member of the group. A variety of people have played in Severed Heads, including Garry Bradbury, Paul Deering, and Stephen Jones, but over time the group has devolved to Tom Ellard. Early Severed Heads music was characterised by the use of tape loops, noisy arrangements of synthesizers, and other dissonant sound sources, putting Severed Heads in the general category of industrial music. After several releases in that vein, Severed Heads began incorporating various popular music tropes, such as a consistent 4/4 rhythm, strong melodic lines, and resolving chord arrangements. This move was underscored by the incorporation of mimetic devices, such as drum machines. The result was a striking hybrid of the avant garde, industrial and pop. Combined with Ellard's thin but gently eerie vocals and elliptical poetic lyrics, Severed Heads were signed to Nettwerk Records in North America, and Volition Records in Australia, and charted in 1984 with the song "Dead Eyes Opened". This deal lead to a world tour, which was as much a multimedia event, thanks to the video work of Stephen Jones. Biography by Steve Huey Severed Heads are an Australian group who mainly use electronics in their music, including tape effects, sequencers, drum programs, and found sounds from turntables, televisions, and so on, plus a little singing and guitar playing. Their listenability range can move from electro-pop to irritating, jumbled sound collages. Their original lineup contained Garry Bradbury, Paul Von Deering, and Tom Ellard; Ellard has been the only one to remain throughout the group's career, later working mainly with Stephen Jones.
