Possessed – DEATH METAL DEMO CD

One of the most influential metal bands ever, is without doubt Possessed. Didn’t they create an entire main genre in extreme metal? The Possessed demo ‘Death Metal’ from 1984 was ground breaking and led to a deal with Combat Records. Debut album ‘Seven Churches’ was released late 1985 and influenced many, if not all, extreme metal bands up till today. This release, simply titled ‘Death Metal Demo’, contains the tree legendary debut demo tracks ‘Death Metal’,  ‘Evil Warriors’ & ‘Burning in Hell’. “Fallen Angel” was recorded during the same session (not added to the official demo back then) is also added to this compilation. And so is the legendary track ‘Swing of the axe’ originally released on the Metal Massacre  VI (1985). The cd also contains a rehearsal from 1984 featuring 5 tracks and live tracks from 1987. All tracks are carefully restored and remastered by Achilleas Kalantzis (Vio Lence, Defiance, Varathron).
