[allthatgirlcoronado]

TRUE MUSIC!!!

[brnleague99]

I once asked a friend of mine to describe this album to me. He thought a minute and said "It's Possessed's Ride The Lightning." I didn't understand it then...but I do now. :)

[LordGanon69]

@brnleague99 I don't understand. Ride the lighting is shit. Along with Metallica.

[MetalAttack1986]

@LordGanon69 Metallica is horrible now, but their first 3 albums were freakin amazing man! You don't know real thrash if you hate Metallica's first 3 albums!!! But whatever, it's your metal taste!

[bernie6127]

0:45 the guy has a floyd rose tremolo on a black fender stratocaster, I totaly want that guitar <3

[CyrillKR]

POSSESSED RULES!

ALL THE ALBUMS AND DEMOS!

too bad Jeff Becerra had that accident he has major balls to still do vocals for Possessed

[1708004]

@witcherismyname06 There are plenty of pioneers in the Deathmetal genre, don't trip. Possessed never intended to pioneer DM. They played in the thrash scene with thrash bands, they were just damned heavy for 1985. \\m//

[witcherismyname06]

yeah DEATH,POSSESSED AND OBITUARY ARE FUCKING PIONEERS OF DEATH METAL.

[takermaniac]

i normally don't listen to death metal , but this band is awesome !

[snowemerald]

oo, they're good.

[RobbKongMetal999]

Have you also noticed a few of the earlier death metal bands kinda had a similar growl?

DEATH, OBITUARY and POSSESSED especially... I love all three of them...

[CodyRicheson]

Yeah, it wasn't until Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Autopsy, Deicide, Carcass and others in the early 90s started using low growls. I love the early death metal shriek though.

[RobbKongMetal999]

Yeah...

AUTOPSY kinda had that yell going on, too (listen to "Charred Remains" for a good example)...

I forgot about PESTILENCE: they rule!!!

[Incinerator8951]

PESTILENCE MAN!

[RobbKongMetal999]

Fuck yeah!!!

They fuckin' rule...

Even the new album sounds good... As bonus tracks for the new one they put rerecorded versions of three older PESTILENCE songs and have the new vocalist...

[1708004]

@ CodyRicheson I know, 7 months ago. . . but check out Bolt Throwers first 2, 1988,1989, low growls and fucking heavy as shit.

[numbskull1974]

Chuck from Death and John from Obituary don't sound anything like this guy!

[RobbKongMetal999]

@numbskull1974

Maybe not on this album but if you listen to Seven Churches, you can kinda hear it...

[JiMiHeNdRiX714]

lemmy is Jeff's favorite singer

[crasosk8]

death metal pioners = death

not possessed.

demos since 1983.

plus possessed was more "thrashy" at the beggining , death was lot more brutal and raw since the early years.

[JiMiHeNdRiX714]

Possessed are still pioneers of Death Metal they both started in 1983

[MetallicBill]

Should reload this now... IN STEREO!

[stratovenom]

Holy shit!!!

What a Brutal band!!!

[1stmj]

[gbncsrht]

[GodinSDXTguitars]

This is truly classic Death Metal!

[oldschoolthrasher01]

Gotta agree with that. saw them live with Dark Angel in late 80's in Philly. Seriously heavy shit..

[killermetal9]

[brnleague99]

I asked a friend once to compare this album to Seven Churches...he thought a minute and said "think of Metallica's Ride The Lightning". I was confused as fuck, but after I heard Beyond The Gates I understood.

[refusedevolution]

Save me the torment that beckons for me

Possessed Rulez!
