Self-identifying as “death metal” (see track B5), Possessed created one of the foundational recordings of that subterranean music cult with Seven Churches, a screaming blast of Satanic metal psychosis. This band of teenagers fearlessly evoked Lucifer and the inspirational powers of darkness to forge Seven Churches, forever capturing the moment when extreme metal set course to become the new dominant music of nihilistic rebellion amongst America’s (and the world’s) socially alienated youth.
