ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Possessed is an American death metal band, originally formed in 1983. Noted for their fast style of playing and Jeff Becerra’s growled vocals, they are often called the fi rst band in the death metal genre, and paved the way for the 1980s Bay Area thrash metal scene, along with Metallica, Exodus, Testament and Death Angel. The band is also notable for featuring future Primus member Larry LaLonde, who was the lead guitarist for Possessed from 1984 to 1987. After breaking up in 1987, and reforming from 1990 to 1993, the band reformed again under original bassist and vocalist Jeff Becerra in 2007. Since its inception, Possessed has released three studio albums: Seven Churches, Beyond the Gates and Revelations of Oblivion as well as one live album, two compilation albums and two EPs
