Nuclear Blast

Influential speed-thrash metal/death metal band from the San Francisco Bay Area (California, U.S.A.), formed in 1983. After breaking up in 1987, they briefly reformed in 1990 until 1993 and again in 2007, where they are still active today.
With a sound that blends aggressive thrash riffs and brutal death metal vocals, *Possessed* quickly gained recognition as pioneers of the genre. Their raw energy and dark lyrical themes set them apart from their peers.
Similar to bands like Dark Angel, Morbid Saint, and Celtic Frost, *Possessed* has left an indelible mark on the metal scene. Their intense live performances and influential albums have inspired countless musicians and continue to resonate with fans worldwide.

There was a time in which genuine power was felt erupting from the sonic landscape that is now referred to as “old school” death metal. Its genesis was filled with a fresh and vibrant energy and it was the mighty POSSESSED who initially breathed life into this new and exciting genre. With writing that started in 1982, the first official death metal band created the now classic record “SEVEN CHURCHES” and established the face of the genre permanently. Sadly, like with many artistic pioneers, it was very early on in POSSESSED’s existence that a grand tragedy struck which would put the band on hiatus for almost two decades.
