Possessed

An AWESOME death-metal band that put out a couple incredible albums, then disappeared from the face of the earth. (How typical.) Guitarist Larry LaLonde moved on to Blind Illusion, where he met Les Claypool, and thus formed the band Primus...odd how the world turns, eh?

"Seven Churches"

  1. "The Exorcist" (4:52)
  2. "Pentagram" (3:34)
  3. "Burning in Hell" (3:09)
  4. "Evil Warriors" (3:44)
  5. "Seven Churches" (3:15)
  6. "Satan's Curse" (4:15)
  7. "Holy Hell" (4:11)
  8. "Twisted Minds" (5:10)
  9. "Fallen Angel" (3:58)
  10. "Death Metal" (3:17)

Well, what can I say except...DEATH!! HELL!! SATAN!! THRASH!! YEAH!! This album kicks ASS!! And yes, it's the ORIGINAL COMBAT VERSION, thank you very much!

"Beyond the Gates/The Eyes of Horror"

  1. "Intro/The Heretic" (4:01)
  2. "Tribulation" (4:47)
  3. "March to Die" (3:12)
  4. "Phantasm" (4:20)
  5. "No Will to Live" (6:45)
  6. "Beyond the Gates" (2:54)
  7. "The Beasts of the Apocalypse" (3:12)
  8. "Seance" (3:02)
  9. "Restless Dead" (2:58)
  10. "Dog Fight"--instrumental (1:25)
  11. "Confessions" (2:56)
  12. "My Belief" (3:36)
  13. "The Eyes of Horror" (3:17)
  14. "Swing of the Axe" (4:03)
  15. "Storm in my Mind" (4:22)

!! WARNING !! If you don't have the original version of this CD, DO NOT BUY the domestic reissue!! Why, you ask? Because the COCKSUCKERS AT RELATIVITY chose not to include the five songs from their Eyes of Horror EP!! (Which I found out the hard way...) Pathetic bastards!!! Make sure you find an international distributor who can get Century Media imports...or better yet, check The End Records. :)

As for the music itself...well, what's there to say? Like the first album, this music KICKS ASS, although I felt the Eyes of Horror tracks were a bit thinly produced. "Swing of the Axe" is an inferior rerecording of the version that appeared on Metal Massacre VI.
