Ahh, it's always good to see father and son review an album together.
Whoswho?
Papa Dunn
Dying!!! Lol
He would have been 12 when the younger dude was born.
@@snarf4058 that's hilarious and true
"Bring your kid to work" day
Nicholas Isoldi
Bring your dad to work day
Blayne always says he hates intro tracks, but he’s liked every intro track in his reviews so far. Definitely a closet-intro track lover.
Yeah come out of the closet already.
album without intro track or intro ala hell awaits,ride/master etc is not complete album in my book.
I must say I hate almost all intro tracks. One of the best intros I have heard was Gost (the techno metal band)s last album, even though I did not like the music so much. Almost all other intros just seem like filler.
He sucks at reviews.
But I love Blayne’s reviews, probably my favorite reviewer here
When I was 12 went to buy Seven Churches on cassette it was the only time a record store employee ever made me get a parent to make the purchase. My mom thanked him for wasting her time.
Nicholas Rogerson You could thank those PMRC Cunt’s for that ....never stopped one metal head from getting the music they wanted to buy or hear ..if parents didn’t buy it for you, someone you know would still have had access to it and made you a copy!
@@yeahsure8323 I hate the Republicans as much as I hate the Democrats. I hate all politicians. They're all lying sacks of pure shit.
great album one of the greatest comebacks in history of metal
indeed
I very much agree!
Couldn't have said it better. I was there in 85 and now. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
best one,along with heathen's evolution of chaos
Can’t forget Carcass’s Surgical Steel either...
Agree completely with this. All killer, no filler, Possessed have shown that once again 'old timer' bands can not only still be relevant but can show the way for more modern bands. Superb.
Damn i love this comment🤘🔥
Emilio Marquez from Coffin Texts & Sadistic Intent has been their drummer since 2007. Daniel Gonzalez from Gruesome & Nailshitter has been their guitarist since 2011. And Robert Cardenas from Agent Steel, Coffin Texts, & Malice has been their bassist since 2012.
Emilio & Robert has back me up at gigs (immortal) since the early 90's true friends since the mid 80's great musicians !!! Awake!!!🤘😈🤘
Oh god is it good...
EDIT: *SIGH OF RELIEF* yes...yes it is
Hell yeah! Glad to know Possessed still kicks ass. Also, that Warforged album is great. They actually put out a full length video for the entire album on Tuesday!
This is about possessed.
@@Phantasm2Cuda Oh wow really? I had no idea.
@@grindcoremaniac obviously you didn't if you're talking about another band on a possessed review
@@Phantasm2Cuda I guess you didn't watch the entire video or read my entire comment.
Can't wait for Darkthrone review...
Absolutely untouchable album. I only got into these guys in the last few years, as I was a bit young when this stuff was coming out. Once I dicovered old school Possessed I must have clocked hours and hours and hours just listening to their stuff over and over. Then this album drops and holy hell is it good.
I struggled to listen to Seven Churches because of the production, so when I decided to give this a shot my expectations weren't too high. Needless to say it blew me away. Maybe my favourite sounding production of all time.
So glad Warforged got a shout-out. I: Voice is easily my favourite album so far this year.
WOO🤘
I listened to the entire album and to me it follows in the same vain as Eyes of horror which is a good thing while not being it’s carbon copy and I am not disappointed in the least... I am happy with the vocals , bass and guitar riffs and drums the production Is modern but not overdone i believe it will be in my listening rotation for a long time...Thanks Jeff and Possessed crew for taking time to make a great enjoyable exciting comeback record this from a longtime Possessed fan from the 80’s! I Give it 5/5 buy it You won’t be disappointed!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love Beyond the Gates as well as Eyes of Horror. So I am very glad to hear this and will be picking it up very soon \m/
Awesome review, glad to see Sam back in the reviewer’s chair! Fully agree with both of you, stunning comeback album!
Possessed - Beyond the gates was my first lp i bought back in 1986 when i was 12 years old 🤘
It's a miracle of Satan that this album is so damn good.
TheSlayFer Ch. T. Idiotic poser comments from you.....
@@leifjohansen4921 No idea where you get that assumption but ok.
@@ravenfuckantifa2000 satan told him man.
I've been a Possessed fan since Beyond The Gates came out and was wary about this new release. Thanks for setting me at ease on that one. Picking this one up soon!
If only Metallica had waited 35 years...
@Veterano Metallaro Young enough to have seen them play at Hammersmith in 1986
@Veterano Metallaro Sorry for not thinking most of their output since 1986 is very good. Did I make you cry?
Veterano Metallaro if he thinks everything since justice sucked that’s his right.I love the first 4 Metallica albums and ignore the rest.Im not a musical dumb ass I just don’t enjoy watered down mainstream metal.
Jason Manning you ever wonder if Cliff were still alive and Dave was still in the band what Metallica would sound like...I’m thinking it would have progressed but in a more metal progression with more extreme aggression.
Metallica?? ...Who cares?
SEVEN CHURCHES was raw stuff, when it came out.
Ok.
I’m back after listening to half of the Warforged ‘shout-out’ and I gotta say.
After you’ve done your duty to Possessed, you absolutely HAVE TO CHECK OUT that Warforged album.
Holy mother of WTF it’s really freaking good.
DUDE IKR, it's like uber good
Creative Paradox Seriously.
Here’s how it went for me.
I got 1/3 into this review, paused it, went and listened to the entire Possessed album, came back... caught the shout out.
So, a cpl songs in, I came back and made my comment.
Then I started Warforged over from the beginning. I got auditory whiplash.
I listened to something else to ‘cleanse the pallet’ and then I went and Re-Listened to Warforged to make sure I didn’t imagine it.
Holy shit.
That really just happened.
Album is amazing. A little thrashier than I expected it to be but thats ok with me I personally love that style of thrash!
Yeah, but that's what death metal was back then. It was bands taking thrash and pushing the limits and then smashing them. Deeper vocals, more violent lyrics, more black magic, harder drums, deeper guitar tones. More twisted and technical arrangements with more intense tempo changes.
Death metal before is thrashier, until the 90s came.
Possessed's 2nd and 3rd releases were more thrash than death. I find this new one to be just as deathy as seven churches, if not more. Many thrash parts for sure. I love the mix of death and thrash they bring
Death metal has always been thrashy, that's what death metal is, a darker and more brutal and evil version of thrash metal 🤦♂️, same goes for black metal
Single note prelude to black metal occurred on their song “the exorcist” from 7 churches
Exactly....in fact it's all over that album.
Ahh. Black metal in its truest form was done by Venom previously anyway, but I see what you mean.
cool review. Dreadnought and Warforged also have some great albums coming out today. Deathspell Omega later this month...:)
This is about possessed. You're on wrong page
Summary:
Their only complaint is that they have no complaints.
That’s a really good place to be.
I never once listened to Possessed checked out this album now I’m hooked.
This album is absolutely ferocious.
Super stoked for this album to finally hit. I knew it was gonna RAGE. Have been sayin' that for months. Well worth the wait!⛧🤘
Much better tag team review this week!!!
I would like to get Larry Lalonde's thoughts on the new Possessed album. ;)
I imagine he probably doesn't care too much. At worst though, I imagine he would think it's pretty cool?haha
Primus sucks !
More importantly what Mike Torrao thinks
@@MattC.98 , cry us a river , get over it .... it's a new Possessed
@@MattC.98 Actually the new album "Revelations of Oblivion" is quite good and sounds like classic Possessed.
Jeff is my personal hero on many levels. His heart, energy and drive...that man is an inspiration.
excellent review...excellent album...
Saw them in Katwijk in 1986/87 with Kreator. What a Band. The album sounds awesome.
Yeah! The album sounds amazing! Gotta say the album cover indeed is really well done too, with extreme details.
It's Friday, a Sam and Blayne tag team review, there's new music from Possessed, and it's really fucking decent music. But it's not my birthday for months!
What a great birthday present. Thank you Possessed \m/
Expecting to see people arguing about who invented death metal in the comments
They did actually.
7 Churches came years before Scream Bloody Gore.
@@MoSweiti666 Yeah, but the point of decades-long argument is that Possessed were rather proto-death, a thrash band developing into death metal, but not yet there.
@@MoSweiti666 Not if Paul Speckmann from Master has anything to say about it :) formed in '83. Lol.
@@TheOmegaeyes We talk too little about Master. Excellent band.
Lmao Death dropped their first album in 83' hail the chuck!
Welcome back Possessed!!! Great review guys! Also great Album!!!!
A+ review! Nice video guys!
2019 Metal album of the year
I was 16 when Seven Churches came out, and I also saw them live in LA that year (1986)
I remember listening to "Swing Of The Axe" over and over when I first got Metal Massacre 6.
This album is so cool
same age as Sam here, heard Seven Churches for the first time in 1987 and it was too extreme for me at the time... I got into the band a couple years later and still one of my favorite death metal bands along Obituary, Entombed and Death
"It's got the rototoms"
*collective sigh of relief*
Just moved to the Charleston SC area. I cant believe a local record store in the bible belt would carry this but Im glad they did! It fuckin crushes!
I absolutely love Possessed. This album is amazing! Great review Blayne & Sam! It's so awesome seeing people all over the world who love Heavy Metal as much as you do. I look forward to each of the reviews made by everyone on BangerTv. Always thorough with each band or artist. I appreciate all of the hard work you do. 💀💀💀💀💀🤘🤘
This album blew me away, it’s huge and a true testament to Jeff’s talent. May he continue rolling :) for many years
Fun fact: ONSLAUGHT's Power From Hell album had a "Death Metal' track which was issued 6 months before Seven Churches (though Onslaught delved in thrash, of course).
@kill as one those UK hardcore punk bands that crossed over during '84/'85 onwards (Onslaught, Sacrilege, English Dogs, Concrete Sox, Deviated Instinct etc) don't get the credit they deserve.
@kill as one Agreed. Electro Hippies was some fasttttt shit, same as Heresy.
Review the new Warforged album!
Pls
They still have the roto toms and the whole nine yards. I fucking love it!
4.5/5 skulls welcome back Possessed 🤘🤘🤘
METAL!
I was there when they first came out. and me and my friends were like what the hell is this!! It was something new so brutal and the voice was so deep and dark, it was awesome that's when I learned there was a new metal In Town, death metal! And I fell in love with this band! But I was completely destroyed when I found out they were no more! But now all these years later I get to live everything I knew they could become! I cant wait to buy this masterpiece! I just hope they keep delivering after the album! I don't want to wait another 33 years for another one!
Any chance of seeing Abnormality's new album being reviewed? I know y'all like to review before release and it did drop today, so it's not likely but it would be rad
Wrong page. Move on
The style of tremelo picking here reminds me of Testimony era Pestilence.
WOW, this is literally exactly my thoughts as well, and every last word you guys said is also what I said in my review. I also gave it a 4/5 which was 90% for me on the archives. I'm shocked on how accurate our opinions are on this record. All hail possessed!
Literally
Still listening on repeat. This album is thrashy as fuck. They tread the line of thrash and old school death metal as good as anyone on this album. Think ‘Slaughter in the Vatican’ or old Sepultura with better production. Jeff sounds like a mix of Zetro and Chuck. 5 fucking skulls!!
after 2 listens : this is probably best metal album of all time. this exceeded all my expectations by mile OMFG :o
It is AMAZING... I bought their debut in 1985 at 15 years old
3:)
dekapitatorr hahahaha.... It isn't and it's miles away from the old possessed classics.. Everything is wrong with this album and specifically the tic tac bass drum
Absolutely fantastic review
Seven churches was one of my first "heavy" albums..I bought it because of the album cover just looked Kool ASF
I hope to see you two again to analyze Tool's new album when it comes out in Augus
The trick for a heritage band to get a good review from Banger for their new album? Disappear for 32 years.
Hilarious!
The only Possessed album I have gotten into...love it.
After seeing them live last year and seeing how much fun Jeff still has on stage (while rolling around in a fucking wheelchair) there wasn't any doubt in my Head that this album is gonna rip!
Fucking great review dudes. What a record! \m/
Eh, solid Possessed record aside. I counted 14 relevant records that came out today.
New Warforged, Dreadnought, Spirit Drift, Idle Hands, Big|Brave, Employed To Serve, We Never Learned To Live, Martyrdöd, Inanimate Existence just to name a few so yeah check those out!
Seen a good few people mention Warforged in this comment section. Will have to check them out, never heard of them!
ah so that's where the lighting went :)? all jokes aside, good review as always.
This is really great album
Battle Of Simaisma no....
Gotta buy this. My 3 Possessed records are on cassette tape. EDIT Just ordered it. I appreciate you spreading the word.
I was 8 yrs old when Seven Churches came out and from Northern California 🤘
My favorite intro track is THE HAUNTED "Dark Intentions" from THE HAUNTED MADE ME DO IT.
It is probably because I messaged POSSESSED in, maybe 2016. My first Facebook got blocked and is still.
Didn't know that possessed was still around
most people didn't.
Becerra is around not Possessed. This is just Possessed in name.
Got my red with white splatter limited to 500 copies vinyl yesterday!! Album fucking slays. Worth the 33 year wait. Love it! \m/
BAD ASS!!!!
Was watching Possessed at Ruthie’s in 85 just now. Remember this review. No not really. Why I am watching it right now. But I saw it 5 years ago they do it was posted. Think I bought this album too 🤔 it’s somewheres 🤘🏽👿
LOWEST CREATURE is so fucking good! Thanks for that one. Fans of Power Trip, don't miss this one!!
Possessed delivered bigtime with this comeback-album. I was just as mindblown by this album as i was when i first listened to 7 churches
"Doomsday Prepper" skulls matched with Fallout power armor helmets... God I love this channel :)
Why not 5 skull if there is no issue on the album then?
Elitism my friend.
It's still not perfect. A perfect album is different for everyone. Look at fantano, he practically never gives out 10s...
No mention of how Larry LaLonde went onto be in Primus.
“The Eyes of Horror “ was released 32 years ago on May 31 ,1987 not 33 .
He did say "33 years come this October" so I think he's referring to "Beyond the Gates." That was the last album, "The Eyes of Horror" is an EP.
This album is so young and already a classic
Warforged interview. This is what a 5/5 sounds like: th-cam.com/video/Ym-k2wwmqkg/w-d-xo.html
Hope you review that new Nocturnus Lp!
Seen them play yesterday, DO NOT MISS THIS
never understood why nin is on the wall? i like them tho.
going to get this possessed cd right now! \m/
well they kinda go under the industrial metal umbrella, even if they actually aren't a part of it, I think
I think they might have been a proto-industrial metal band talked about in one of the Lock-Horns episodes.
Minor Threat is there as well, weird
I was hoping Sam would do this review
Yeah that other dude is so fucking annoying. Always trying to be funny, but fails miserably....
possessed intros love them all.
Wait, wasn’t Death the original Death metal band? Or were they just “one of” the first. I didn’t know Possessed coined the term...what happened since then? When did death metal go from a demo from possessed to Tampa Florida?
Robert and Emilio hail from Coffin Texts, California's stab at Egyptian themed metal. Check that band out, you won't be disappointed
Just listened to the album and what a comeback, every track slays and well worth the 33 year wait. For me best album of 2019 and best comeback ever. Get this album 5 out of 5. 🤘🤘🤘
Agree 5/5 skulls.
Are Possessed the first death metal band?
skijumpnose Yes \m/
Yep
Cool, it's a shame they don't get the recognition like Morbid Angel and Obituary, very influential band
No
@Danny i always felt that “proto” label is a cop out. As with people labeling Bathory as proto BM, anyone who honestly listened to The Return or Under the Sign know that is at its soul true Black Metal. Possessed is Death Metal plain and simple. 🤘
It’s been 3 weeks and it’s still awesome! Wish more death metal vocalists would sound as powerful, the low guttural muppets lose the aggression and intonation. 5/5!!!
Papa Dunn is pronouncing Becerra correctly. Source: thousands of people in my area with the same last name
Yep. That other guy with the hard C was a trip. Can you imagine also pronouncing their song “The Ex-Or-Kissed” 😊😂
I can't wait to pick this album up!
for me its a 5/5 because I know I will listen to it forever!!!!! and Mayhem is putting out a new record in October as well, lets see if they can surpass De mysteriis of dom sathanas!
Some would say that they have already....but yeah, roll on October. At least we have Darkthrone's new record coming next couple weeks though!!
1986 comprei meu vinil do Possessed na Cogumelos Discos em B.H
i always felt Jeff had a bit of Lemmy in his vocals, which only added to Possessed's charm. ~ I feel as if Jeff Beccera's bandmates have a true love for him and they've delivered an opus worthy of Possessed.
Possessed hasn't lost a step.
I think this is an awesome album and I'm so glad to have the band back. If I had one complaint with it though is it's a little too long. I think instead of 53 minutes they should have cut it down to about 45 minutes. That's really the only negative thing I have to say about it though.
Jeff still sounds sick as fuck!
