This band is not forgotten! Jeff Beccerra, Mike Torrao, Larry LaLonde, Mike Sus - a super team! Hope they plan a new album. They are one of the greatest!
Great production!! Joe Satriani really did their sound justice when they released Eyes of Horror. This is how Seven Churches should have been produced. Imagine The Exorcist, Pentagram, Satan's Curse; etc. with this production?
@p4horror I like the production on this. For something such as Seven Churches, the quality may not have been over-the-top, but in my opinion I prefer the lo-fi quality of Seven Churches. Sounds harsher, and more chaotic. This is great, but doesn't deliver the driving force and raw aggression Seven Churches did. That's just what I think.
every time a fucking song ends i have to put down my fucking book and put a next fucking song and i get impatient because i want to listen to possessed asap. wish i had the album. fuck
Man, I don't know how many times I've had this record, only for it to get destroyed by my mom...Thanks Heraldo!!! Cocksucker...But, I still have it though..lol. That was years ago, but to this day Possessed holds a place in the heart..
Now, with these characters i close the discussion about Possessed.
Thrash or death? Of course it is early death metal. Listen to cool Megadeth, riffkiller Overkill, brutalgerman Kreator, merciless Slayer, deadly Slaughter or "meow-meow" Anthrax, you will hear the difference. Influence is clear by all the underground death metal hordes.
...and they made a perfect match if u ask me....Larry Lalonde did team up with Les Claypool in Primus. Les was also in another thrash metal band back in the 80's called Blind Illusion.
what a song...to all the metal heads who understand the deep scar that this unique band left behind...still brings chills to my spine after all these years
metal has become some kind of pitiful low-rent fashion show for morons. these guys were totally original. what current metal band could even begin to compare?
This song has got to be the song with the best-written lyrics ever. Ok, I know that technically, since I don't have knowledge of all the lyrics of all the songs ever written, I have no arguments to make an informed decision but still... I maintain my thesis:-D... can't go wrong with killing the conformist pigs... kill them, kill'em all... I should probably shut up now, I'm beginning to even annoy myself.
On a more serious note, this really is one of my favourite songs. Respect for Possessed.
Is it the reflection of the collective unconsciousness, but! - and but! - again, "independent" consciousness, so that we can judge and be (or pretend to be) righteous..? ... and mostly wrong and to learn how to hate...? Love :)
i have yet to have heard a bad song by this truly great metal band...actually met mike sus years ago in a bar..extremely cool guy...long live possessed
i hear you, i've got this one first "pirated" (copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy...?) back then behind the Iron Curtain! back then i had no choice, but i did buy it "again" when i've got here. thanks! better than roseta stone...)))
pristine condition dude! show me the money. played once only to record. many more rarities. no bullshit. 38 year old with a family my mosh days are over!
nah this is thrash bud, death metal is morbid angel 1989, and death smream bloody gore. 1987 for possessed ,and ever album is thrash, with satan, so i 'd say black thrahs metal, sry bud i;m drunkl as fuck, but possessed is still fuckin kickass! too intense! betetr than alot of bands !
Yeh oldschool is right. Before Possessed there was no one else doing vocals like this. They ushered something in that no one ever did before. They also recorded seven churchs on easter break when they were 15. They are awesome.
This should be the national anthem for all the true metal heads....( i mean true metal heads, not metal heads that listen to bullet for my ass or cradle of shit....)
@brutallythrashed wasn't the original metal/thrash athnem holy wars by megadeth??
ah but well this song still kicks fucking ass
i wish there were more bands like dark angel,possessed,evildead,rigor mortis,vio-lence etc....to bad most of the metalheads now are posers who call ''slipknot'' DEATH FUCKING METAL
i still whip out this cassette to rock the hell out!!!!
