Topic: Possessed (band)



  
 Death metal
This band acknowledges heavy influence in its early days from early demos by the band Death (such as "Infernal Death"), and was simultaneously always part of the hardcore punk scene.
In fact, the project band Terrorizer's album from 1989 is clear signs that some merging of hardcore punk and thrash metal is going on, with members from Florida's Morbid Angel and the new line-up of Napalm Death co-composing.
Some important bands are Death, Possessed (band), Morbid Angel, Napalm Death, Suffocation and Cannibal Corpse.

 Possessed (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Possessed were a death metal band formed in 1982, in El Sobrante, California (Slightly North of San Francisco), and have often been credited for creating and paving the way of this genre.
This article on a band or other musical ensemble is a stub.

However, at the same time the band was deciding which track to give them, they were dealing with a weak link in the band, and his name was Brian Montana.
Combat Records signed Possessed in 1985, and the band spent the school Easter break recording the heaviest, fastest, most evil piece of metal ever to be carved into vinyl grooves - Seven Churches.
In 1993 Possessed returned to the live stage in the Bay Area, opening a few shows for Machine Head, who were just then breaking with their debut album Burn My Eyes, but I have no information on this line-up either.

Even on the CD layer, it is possible to tell just what the band meant by the music and even their moods during the recording of the songs.
From the recording of this album forward, both he and the band began to gain praise and status, even more then the band already possessed, which was substantial.

 Possessed - Satan Stole My Teddybear
Many a band sprouted up in the 80s, and much of the output by up-and-coming bands in the 80s inspired the types of music we have today.
Possessed infuse many original ideas into their music, and are actually quite the talented band.
Featuring high, raspy, screamed vocals, anvil-heavy guitar riffs, and songs that will just make you scream out in ecstasy, look no further than this.

 CD reviews: "Possessed" and "Dancing in the Aisles"
On their fourth album (third available in the U.S.), "Possessed," The Klezmatics have not only dropped the clever album titles (their last album was "Jews With Horns"), but have created a work that is as ambitious as it is musically sound.
Two of the leading klezmer bands are The Klezmatics and The Klezmer Conservatory Band.
Their selection on this album is partly traditional songs, partly 1930s Yiddish big band pieces, and partly originals that fit right in with the older material in both quality and style.

 In Music We Trust - Crown, The: Possessed 13
"Possessed 13" also features ghastly splatter film-style front cover work and for those lucky enough to score the limited edition deluxe black set with bonus disc, there'll lie a pleasant surprise as the band revisits and reduces their earliest original demo and studio recordings to ashes for all the world to witness.
The band's integrity and intensity is fully fit and the songs remain chilling and coarse as ever.
The devastation, however, is met with reflective moments of melody and gothu-drama as indicated by the tuneful instrumentals of "Dream Bloody Hell" and the closing "In Memoriam," further setting apart The Crown as conscientious musicians at the core of the mayhem.

 NEPENTHE
The band took time out from live performance in 1995 to record everything was beautiful and nothing hurt, an album whose title fittingly imparts the theme of its seven songs.
The band has also been hard at work on a new album tentatively titled Thistle, Thorn, and Ember as well as a revamped stage show to accompany what will be an exciting follow-up to their debut.
Prior to the album's release on the InEarVisions music label in 1997, the band released the track "The Ugly and The Brave" on the compilation CD New Brunswick Underground to critical acclaim.

Like all their albums, the Klezmatics' work on "Possessed" ranges from staggeringly brilliant to markedly less than special, but overall, the album is excellent.
Though I was impressed by "Possessed" upon listening in a record store, it really takes a lot of listening to understand the point behind this postmodern Jewish folk.
A core element of the record is the songwriting of playwright Tony Kushner, a self-described "half-baked, half-former, re-formed, dummermann kind of Jew." His lyrics for "Undoing World" are powerful phrases of love, loss and exile played against a traditional tune.

 Amazon.com: Possessed 13 (Dlx): Music
The band had now grown into better songwriters and musicians and the result was a very brutal, intense and evil Death Metal sound but with a lot more feeling and melody to it.
As it marks the 13th anniversary of the band and contains 13 tracks, the album was appropriately titled POSSESSED 13.
The band was originally formed back in 1990 as a primitive garage act and made their first public appearance on a local compilation CD in 1992.

The Band were (and still are) a band possessed by greatness, but it is in a different category.
Many other bands were as America-invoking as the band, whom, after all, were from Canada.

The band started rehearsing a lot and recorded their first three track demo in 1984 and even once bonus track called “Fallen Angel” in the same session which never made to the demo, but instead got spread out by tape traders.
Before teaming up with Possessed Jeff Becerra used to play in a local metal band called Blizzard which was heavily influenced and inspirited by the Black Sabbath stuff and in general the stuff of the 70’s and the 60’s as well as a few heavy metal tunes like Jeff Becerra has cited.

Wallflowers' sound Ÿa a rootsy, keyboard-spiced mix that recalls `60s groups like the Band or a rustic Rolling Stones Ÿa didn't fit the label's criteria for a marketable record, and that contributed to Virgin's indifference to the band.

 Throwing Muses: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
Twenty years after the formation of the band in 1983 by a then-14-year-old Kristen Hersh, a new album by Throwing Muses seemed as unlikely as anything.
It's possibly the hardest rocking disc that the band has released since the '80s, but doesn't lose any of the band's essential elements.
After recording what looked to be a swan song in 1996's Limbo, the band was more or less forced to call it quits.

 Chapter & Verse Article
Therefore, for a band infamous for lyrical crudity and musical limitation, Venom were not a band automatically expected to undertake the challenge and demands of the concept album.
Following Possessed, the band would release a live album and numerous compilations, record solo material, experience numerous line-up changes, and suffer generally from a lack of mainstream recognition, although the original line-up did reform in 2000 to record Resurrected.
This influence is acutely acknowledged by the various Venom tribute albums recorded throughout the 1990s, and especially the inclusion of the band’s vocalist\bassist Cronos on Dave Grohl’s 2004 Probot album, a homage to the ‘classic’ death\thrash metal bands of the 1980s.

The band's line-up has remained intact, and combines by the evil forces of Lord Vic (lead guitar and vocals), Paul Bearer (drums), Earwhig Ringworm (rhythm guitar) and Tom Coffinsmasher (bass).
Their songs are really well-crafted, though those has less of originality due to the similarities with the bands above, but for me was important that their music came from their veins and it means a straight release which should be checked by all the true fans of old-school Metal.
The band also does a few covers: "Eye of the Hellstorm", by the now-defuct local Atlanta band DISJECTA MEMBRA, an updated version of Elvis Presley's "Jail House Rock" (now titled "Jailhouse Rock 98 (Emperor Mix)" - the lyrics rule!) and a really good cover of NASTY SAVAGE's "Witches Sabbath".

Built of the elemental rhythmic violence of thrash bands hybridized into the longer song structures of heavy metal bands and the progressive avant garde, infused with the layerings of melody and dissonance appreciated only in black metal bands at that time, the music of Possessed comes fully formed with internal conflicts for authenticity.
Foundational death metal band Possessed wrought symphonies of evil triumph out of crude metal and primitive hardcore, bringing into being much of death metal as we know it today.
Production: Narrow and primitive production highlights the savage atonality and deliberate anti-aesthetic of this music.
