Saw this band live on this tour in Chicago. Dark Angel opened. THIS was the underground thtash/death metal scene in the mid 80's. This EP was their best effort.
Nothing ever matches "Seven Churches" nothing ever. But this is a great effort yes as is "Beyond The Gates" and as are the demotapes from 1991 and 1993. After that disgrace began and culminates in 2019. Fuck that shit of now! I stick to these three records forevermore! BTW could someone finally upload the FULL 1993 demo with the re-recorded version of "The Exorcist" on it?
I had this on vinyl which played at 45 rpm. I played it at 33 rpm for couple of days before I realised I was playing it at the wrong speed. sounded great which ever speed I played it.
Went through the same thing with Metallica's Creeping Death ep. Supposed to be played at 45 but was on 33 for weeks. Took a while to get used to the right speed.
I used always turn my speed metal EPs into doom metal. Got the idea when we were hanging out in a Christian bookstore. They had Walkmans on the wall so you could listen to the tapes before you bought them. I went to check out one of the Christian metal bands, and I I was like, "Woah check this out! It's like doom metal!" My friends were like damn that's bad ads, then we realized the batteries were dying in the tape player.

I ADORE this album. Please do not delete. It's the only chance I get to listen to it other than a cassette tape. Yes, cassette. I got this when it came out. Wheeeee!! My Belief, and Swing Of The Axe....definitely!
POSSESSED...quite simply the best band to contribute to the metal / black metal scene...They are my personal favorites of that particular style of music... Horns up...
i like 'seven churches',their debut album....the 2nd 'beyond the gates' is awesome....but this EP it's simply special. Fast,hard and much more mature (specially the lyrics)
Maybe Exodus pleasures of the Flesh kinda came out same as this, but I noticed not only the best that year, but most original masterpiece of metal i always heard My Belief when i thought of it, I loved hearing this deep in my heart, master of puppets only album I loved deeply besides this one.
Me and my high school friends waited weeks for the release of this EP because we knew it was their last. What a wonderful nostalgic memory and sound. Thanks for sharing.
as per usual with the very ancient, ritualistic, and time honored tradition of searching "possessed the eyes of horror full ep" on youtube: welcome to the comments section. be sure to focus all of your attention here instead of the video itself
Yeah, at some point a documentary about Satriani is needed and long overdue. The man has tutored too many iconic guitarists and made too much music to go unnoticed by audiophiles. Most underrated guitar player, imho.
With this work by Possessed, I ended up convincing myself that this was one of my favorite bands, 30 years later I rectify it.. / Con este trabajo de Possessed, me terminé de convencer que este era una de mis bandas preferidas, 30 años despues lo rectifico.
@Miguel fortuna....storm is in my mind, definately has an intro that can't be beat!! I mean that. But my favorite song from the PIZZA MONSTERS" as DESTRUCTION affectionally refer to them, has got to be,the Swing of the Axe version found on Metal Massacre 6....regardless.....POSSESSED!!!! is VERY METAL!!!!#
After 15 hrs of a hard days work, came back, showered did my night routine and unwind myself listening to this. To all of yall out there Stay Blessed. Stay Possessed

esse ep (mini album) é excelente assim como o album beyond the gates eo classico seven churche,tinha o beyond the gates em vinil em 90 ou 91. na época era barato o preço,pois era nacional pelo selo woodstock world wide bons tempos aqueles hoje o vinil e muito caro pois é importado.
Had this on cassette when it was released got it from Camelot records..lost it in hurricane Katrina..anyone know where I can get this classic ep.? On vinyl Lp or cd?
Amazing upload a flippin trash metal ripper, guitar shredding, fast core drummer,bass lines and amazing lyrics, great production a true classic. She was the best.
I think it's Larry. It is the only song on this effort that was composed by him. All other stuff is from Mike Torrao. That's why Possessed died in 1993 when Torrao laid his band to rest never to arise again. What Jeff does today is desecration.
@@donquijote3071 no, it's a singer trying to live off the glory of the past by pretending to be the real thing. No one of the guys who wrote the music in their most unique style is in this band anymore so this band is dead. It is a dated try to imitate other guys music. Nothing else.
@@mattersburg71 , Ok , we are all entitle to our own opinions ( including you) , but all I'm saying is that me and thousands other Possessed fans are glad to see Jeff Becerra still doing it (even know the original members are gone) but he is still producing , producing new albums and in concerts they do a "damm" good job of playing the classics .... I really don't get why you are hating so much on Jeff , ENJOY !!!
cant believe i never knew possessed had a 3rd release until today. i just edited the Wikipedia entry to incorporate this. was Larry LaLonde on this as well?
Larry never was important to Possessed's sound. He only wrote three and a third songs and they were the most commercial ones too. It's all credit to Mike Torrao.
if only they released this before beyond the gates, the critics wouldnt have shit on them the way they did(undeserved in my opinion not a bad album) and their reputation would never have been tarnished and maybe they could have become somewhat as popular as Death
But only without Jeff. He was the reason they split up. This guy is so full of himself and such a drama queen as unpredented. The band is Mike Torrao and without Torrao it is like King's Repentless --- useless.
@@donquijote3071 Larry Lalonde has been to Blind Illusion and is even playing on some songs on "The Sane Asylum". On another note before Jeff Becerra got shot in the summer of 1990 due to a drug deal gone bad he was talking to Mark Biedermann, the singer of Blind Illusion about joining them or do a new project with him. So it's not that far shot.
Music fact:
Legendary guitar player/teacher, Joe Satriani produced this album in 1986/1987. 🙂👍
His teachings can be heard in "storm in my mind" intro.
I grow up with this band, it was the best death metal album of that year, technical, strong and heavy, long life to possessed!!
Saw this band live on this tour in Chicago. Dark Angel opened. THIS was the underground thtash/death metal scene in the mid 80's. This EP was their best effort.
I was there too Brad....The Metro. I think Jan 87. What a great time to be a fan.

"Storm in my Mind" such an underrated song. One of my favorites!
brilliant song
MoveitorLoseit2 Written by Larry of Primus, thus a great song!
thanks for posting, total masterpiece
thanks for listening.
hey thanks, someone finally said it. most people want to point out joe somebody producing something
Thanks for posting, my favorite Possessed album
@@jorgecontreras3060 , my favorite too😎✌
@@jorgecontreras3060 I thought "The Eyes Of Horror" was an E.P.
@@coyleigh2860 If it has two sides it's an album, be it LP or EP.
Each Lp and this ep they put out got better!! They were really starting to get amazing!
Great thrash metal & awesome cover design!
Its not thrash friend, possessed its fucking death metal/,,/
*Death Metal
Мощно убойно и безумно круто🔥👿🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🔥👍замечательный альбом🤘🤘🤘группа огонь нештяк!!!!!
my favorite from Possessed..fuckin awesome
One of the best vocals in the universe of Death Metal without question...
love this ep ...... pure class great memorys
Thanks for posting I've got to pick up my guitar after listening to this one...
Great upload! I was pleasantly surprised by how good this album is!

aeoeaeoe rite
I accidentally tapped on this video trying to select something different. Best mistake ive ever made, lol. This kicks ass..
so good. best of possessed
My friend Greg borrowed this from his older sister Kathy in 87 at our vacation in Lake George. Love this album to be alive for all of this!
Damn Kathy mustve been a cool ass chick ..
Apparently this was produced by Joe Satriani, which blew my mind
Yeah, at some point a documentary about Satriani is needed and long overdue. The man has tutored too many iconic guitarists and made too much music to go unnoticed by audiophiles. Most underrated guitar player, imho.
Joe was Larry Lalonde's(the guitarist) guitar teacher. Larry eventually moved on to Blind Illusion and then Primus.
you mean sold out to Primus lol
Charles Man Dang Ya me too. Was astonished when I read that on my original cassette
No shit? Now I'm hearing Satriani influence. WTF?
Flat out bad ass all these years later.
I remeber getting this when it first came out..
Possessed are one of the best thrash metal bands there has ever been! Sucks that they weren't able to make more stuff.
exactly.
New album next year! \m/
Visionary artistry is my belief
Fuck this new album. It is not Possessed, it is a bunch of hired hacks and a shot voice.
von burgenland ?
One of the albums which make me happy. Big shame there were anymore recordings of the band in this vein...
The LEGENDARY POSSESSED🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽✊🏽❤️
Yeah, these guys were fun to listen too and see, back in the day.
SWING OF THE AXE!!!
STORM IS IN OUR MINDS!!!!!!!!!!
Excellenmt album! the songs are the same style of Beyond The gates! Pure Thrash/Death M
Metal of high quality! 10!
Thanks, I needed this! It's been a while. Nice quality.
Possessed for life
This is cool classic metal.never was a Possessed fan.but their
music is cool.Yeah thanks for uploading this great metal classic
I remembering they kept running ads for this in RIP magazine when this came out. I was fascinated by the cover art. Thanks for uploading.

28 de noviembre 2015 en Colombia, allá estaremos malditos!

Foda pra caralho esse EP,clássico monstruoso
Really good release from the band. More thrashy than death metal that we were used to from them,but the songs were cool.
still got this on 12'' wish i could of seen them play this side of the pond
incredible
possessed was one of the thrash bands in the 1980's whom went beyound their gates
If this is what it is like to be possessed then I want more!! Thrash Metal at its best!
thank you a lot
klassik, unforgiveably under-rated \m/

I do hear Satriani! Thanks for tuning my ear, brother!
Joe Satriani was Larry Lalonde's teacher, actually.
Is this the same vocalist from blind illusion
No. Why would it be? Those are two totally different bands.
Vocal similarities and some of the same members.
