Possessed- Eyes of Horror

[fredhaemmon]

One of the solos that changed my life

[jprp999]

This is weak compared to the stuff on 7 churches, it sounds like speed metal.

[kelter1234]

@jprp999 sounds a little like motorhead dont you think, but with a more agressive tone

[jprp999]

@kelter1234 I got the cd with this and beyond the gates on the other week and the ep stuff is the weakest-beyond the gates is better but still not like 7 churches.

There is a bit of a motorhead sound in this but also early exodus and something else i cant pin down.

[SUESIN138]

i bought there album on a blank TDK tape my first time

[1846alexander]

I was the only 11 year old with 7 Churches and Slayer's South Of Heaven..most were into Warrant and Motley Crue..not me..thank you for the upload..this brings back memories..it sounds better than the 1st album..it's produced better...jeez,listen to that solo at 1:49..they hammer it out..and remember this is 1987..they are still at it too...they will be performing at Oakland Metro Centre Feb.4th and I will be flying from Delaware to Oakland to see them and Exodus.Paul Baloff rememberance show.

[steveboy213]

@1846alexander dude the same!!!!!!

[PeaceLoveMurder]

@1846alexander I dislike the thin and anemic guitar tone, but I like the song. They fucking OWNED at Bonded by Baloff. I've liked them from the beginning, but they played and sounded 10x better than I thought they would (except for the sound guy fucking up with the drum sound at first). I was totally winded after being up front and in the pit for their set and only barely made it though Exodus. I was expecting more of a nostalgia act, but they sound totally fresh and relevant today.

[1846alexander]

@PeaceLoveMurder I was there..I had the King Diamond 'Them' shirt on..was awesome..great time\m/*_*\m/

[manorboy73]

@PeaceLoveMurder Hell yeah they did own, and after it had been twenty years they still bring it!

[TakexYourxShot]

Hail to all you metalheads for life!!!

[socirb]

[svartlav]

I bought this album on tape back on the days, and it was a split album with Kreator - Flag Of Hate.

Side A: Possessed - Eyes Of Horror

Side B: Kreator - Flag Of Hate

[dagothmartin]

@svartlav

[mowler582]

[kelter1234]

[hoc919]

Thanks for posting this song. My favorite metal song.

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

Friedman, Batio, Yngwie and Mustaine are faster than satirani

[larsoelandhansen]

Fuck you, fuck me, fuck everyone... this is great metal.. kin'da miss em' ..

[okok103]

man, its cool that even joe satriani likes death metal, cant believe he produced it, ive seen a picture o fhim with a municiple waste shirt

[theunholyshade1]

these guys sucked after seven churches. i mean really. nothings cooler than a bunch of super satanic teens. and here, they sound FUCKING RE-TAR-DED.

and a parafuckinglegic bassist.

[666deathghost]

@theunholyshade1 They're better than you though. XD

[MadStone666]

@theunholyshade1 Your diagnose: Unnamed mental disease. Fucking little poser.

[DomentorTheOnlyTrue]

@theunholyshade1 you're a fag

[76darkestrose]

wow,havent heard that song for a while.. 5 stars¡

[morbidadi]

possessed far surpasses all the other thrash/death bands from and since then.their compositions and structures are/were radically ahead of it's time and no other band in any genre could of released a debut that's as perfect--now;then;forevermore-­-as SEVEN CHURCHES.the titles,mood and intensity could never be replicated.possessed made me.

[beta212117]

UAu!1 This is magic! that Riffs!!!! GREat

[DomentorTheOnlyTrue]

...do I dream...or is it true...the piercing scream...she never knew!

KILL THAT BITCH!!!!!

[HomicidalAxe]

Love this Album alot!!!!!! I wish i grew up in the 80s enjoying metal in its pure and growing form

[DomentorTheOnlyTrue]

@HomicidalAxe hey dude, best Possessed record for me...just for the note!

found those lyrics to Swing of the Axe anywhere yet??

cheers from sunny Slovenia!

[wolfslairDK]

This EP is a masterpiece!!!

[grimwhitescar]

wow this is good when did it come out is it most resent? thats bad ass

[aizik1992]

how you did that effect?

the song is kick ass

[sammmurai]

One of the best metal tracks i know.

RESPECT, Possessed

[MrThrasha666]

This was a mini that had 5 tracks?

[BenDaijo]

classic, wore that cassette tape out

[trevorloy]

this needs some double bass

[refusedevolution]

respect your elders punk

[allthatgirlcoronado]

@refusedevolution funny but true

[TheThrashZone]

double bass are only used in shitty modern day metal.

[themabin]

explain slayer, megadeth, metallica, anthrax, and basically every great metal band ever.

[sintintoe]

@TheThrashZone Yeah dude, totally. Especially Slayer, who pretty much introduced the double-bass styling to the mainstream, total modern bullshit.

[SirGizz]

@TheThrashZone

Amen to that.

[Promisha]

Lol I can't find this original version, just the Amon Amarth cover :(

[fullycoded]

Great song brings back great teenage memories from a 40 year old.....pure class....thanks dakotaPunk.

[DakotaPunk]

lots of memories...i bought this when it came out. i am 40+ too

thanx for watching

[SirGizz]

@DakotaPunk

Damn we are all getting old, oh for a time machine.

[666deathghost]

@DakotaPunk Thanks alot for this great treasure of Thrash Metal many Hails \m/

[gaurondono]

@DakotaPunk hey dude don't forget the generation that listen to great music i'm 22 /,,/

[temudjin1155]

@fullycoded He he, I'm 40 as well and had this CD for xmas when it came out

[isak69]

@fullycoded Feel the same! :-)

[slaxxxer]

@fullycoded Ditto!

[skinny9283]

@fullycoded Yeah, forty years here too, this was great, but still think Beyond The Gates was their best. This stuff keeps me young.

[Whackooyzero]

I love this album. And one thing that's cool is how great Larry's playing is here. Maybe it's because he was being taught by Joe Satriani?

[pckers00]

Cool song

[AmazingKarl]

Fucking classic! OOOOOO yeah I just thrashed my room!

[childofbodom626]

listen to amon amarths cover to this!!!! way brutaler!

[TheVikingful]

guillotinedeath , stay silence fucker, listen to Twilight of the thunder god or Pursuit of vikings and then you can say something about then, mother fucker

[XOdenXHorusXZeusX]

Haha, I dare u to say tht Kalmah ain't true metal... silly little poser fuckwit.

[locotron66]

Who the fuck are you to say to Amon Amarth gay? uh? you fucking piece of inorganic sh1t... First learn to sing like Johan and then you can say to AA gay... fucking fag

[locotron66]

no good riffs? cuek !! its not about good riffs you idiot... you have to feel the music on your fucking brain... but you cant because you are a fucking FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFAG... Show us your music!

[guillotinedeath]

I fucken hate the cover

amon amarth are a bunch of fags

[XOdenXHorusXZeusX]

???

Explain yourself??

There is no reason for Amon Amarth to be hated by metalheads, because they are as true metal as you can get.

[PresidentBagel]

Amon Amarth are a children's band. Go play in traffic, youngin.

[ClassicThrash]

their debut was much more brutal.

[gbncsrht]

Beyond the Gates murders everything in my opinion. There isn't a single riff more evil than No Will To Lives riffs.

[MadStone666]

@gbncsrht For me this song is their best. Fucking thrashing beast! (maybe you like beyond the gates if you listen more to death metal genre; i listen more to thrash than to death, so, this is my favourite) :)

[artur297]

check out the cover by amon amarth^^

[LegitimateBusiness44]

This song fucking rocks the world!

Amon Amarth did a version that's more death metally, but I personally love this one's deathrash feel.

[rickhorror]

dont get me wrong I like amon ive even seen them play a few times... but they are like new borns in comparison.

[nalo503]

sick fucking song... Possessed at it's best..

[azzans]

Firs death metal WOOOO!!!

[saurod84]

go on ebay they have all old 80s thrash cds even covens blessed is the black anyone rember stormer 192 open for ravern in spain ohh the memories

[Drwhofan1971]

I simply love this E.P. I bought it in 1986 and loved how its sound differed radically from the big name bands of the time, such as Slayer, Metallica, Exodus and Anthrax.

[DakotaPunk]

me too, one of the first albums i bought. satriani had alot to do with the different sound, this album was so much different than seven churches

[Drwhofan1971]

Yeah. It was only years later that I got hold of a copy of "Seven Churches" - a far more raw and less "polished" sound for sure; still great, though!

Thatnks for posting "Eyes..." My copy got damaged and it's been 15 years since I heard it. Amazing how fresh it still sounds after two decades!

[dallas6743]

@DakotaPunk

...satriani?

[DakotaPunk]

@dallas6743 satriani produced and directed this album....not to mention, he taught lalonde the "speed" style......without satriani, possessed's speed-style on this album would have never happened. he is credited on the lp.

[Pensi1234]

siiiiiiiiiick guitar

[DakotaPunk]

lalonde rocks!! too bad he doesn't do shit with primus. i don't like primus anyways.

[Pensi1234]

Yeah I'm not usually into thrash metal I don't like the vocals I'm more into DM but this is pretty damn sick.

[rickhorror]

primus is corny american crap... like system of a down korn avenged sevenfold... puke!.. thats why you dont like them lol

[eweezy13]

dude primus is pretty tight, if ur like not in the mood for death or thrash metal or whatever else your into.

[drunkenirish420]

POSSESSED FUCK YEAH MY FAVORITE SONG

[drunkenirish420]

POSSESSED FUCK YEAH MY FAVORITE

[yosemiteMO]
