POSSESSED

Release Year: 2019
Artist Origin: USA
Style: fundamental blackened thrash death metal

sophomore longplay album [1986] by seminal death/thrash/black metal crew sounds more consistent and technical, leaving a massive impact on the listener, with the focused and forceful March to Die, the refreshingly elaborate No Will to Live, and the ultimately evocative opener The Heretic with its nifty scary intro, dominated by poignant guitar riffs, mysterious atmosphere, and aggressive dynamics, turning the universally revered recording into another pivotal reference point of extreme metal; then, half a year later San Francisco four-piece has nailed down five more punishing tracks for a no less kult mini LP [1987], added to this re-issue as well, admittedly produced by Joe Satriani; recent European edition comes with a remastered sound and sixteen page booklet, brimming with vintage photo collection and all lyrics
