Possession "His Best Deceit" CD

The infamous POSSESSION demo on CD featuring a bonus track Sepultura cover!!

Available again after being sold out for some time. CD edition artwork is the same as the vinyl edition!

Belgium’s POSSESSION is one of the countless fresh and evil hordes who refer to the old school of Black and Thrash Metal, back in the days when these subgenres weren’t exactly defined and divided. And their effort to fill this old fashioned (and still so brilliant) music with new and fresh life (or death) is a really fine one. "His Best Deceit" is the first offering of this four-piece, recorded not even a year after their formation. Originally released as a demo tape by Iron Bonehead, Invictus Productions released this tape on CD as well. The EP contains three original POSSESSION songs that remind of early SODOM or SEPULTURA, as far as the spirit is concerned, but played way better and with a optimized, yet refreshingly raw production. Shrieks of terror and possession open up for the first track, the band anthem (if you’d like to use this term) ‘Possession’. The slower, grooving intro is just leading you astray, the deadly Thrash soon starts to take over. Yet, the slower middle part even shows some refreshing Death Metal hints and possessed vocals. The following ‘The Truth Of Cain’ has a little more of early Metal of Death, sometimes MASTER come to mind, or the almighty POSSESSED. It’s no wonder that POSSESSION’s logo reminds of the first logo of these old heroes… The last own composition on "His Best Deceit" is the rabid title track, another reviving Thrasher with a black heart. Finally we find POSSESSION’s version of an old classic: ‘Necromancer’, originally recorded by SEPULTURA for their first release ever, the legendary split with OVERDOSE. Of course the cover version is technically better, yet it doesn’t lack the spirit. Taking into comparison that the band is around for not even a year now, this EP is a very fine debut that makes a lot of promises for further releases. This band is not that much a band with ambitions, but a band with a mission. Part one is fulfilled successfully with "His Best deceit"

Recently released by IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS on limited-run cassette, INVICTUS PRODUCTIONS never stops the madness with a wider CD version of POSSESSION’s debut demo, His Best Deceit, set for international release on November 15th. Formed in late 2012 with the aim of keeping the flame of the ancient black arts burning, POSSESSION proceeded to record their first demo in August 2013 at Blackout Multimedia Studio in Brussels with Phorgath of Enthroned. What results is an absolutely overwhelming display of ancient blackthrashing mania – complete and total ULTRAVIOLENCE and DEMONIC FORCE, well versed in the unbending ways of the Old Gods but shot through with a hideousness and teeth-gnashing gnarliness that simply cannot be denied. Indeed, to succumb to this assault is His Best Deceit
