About
Possessed is an American death metal band formed in 1982 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Noted for their fast playing style and Jeff Becerra's growled vocals, they are often called the first death metal band, and paved the way for the 1980s Bay Area thrash metal scene, along with Metallica, Exodus, Testament and Death Angel. The band is notable for featuring then-teenage guitarist Larry LaLonde, who went on to join Primus.
After breaking up in 1987, and reforming from 1990 to 1993, the band reformed again around original bassist and vocalist Jeff Becerra in 2007. Possessed has released three studio albums, Seven Churches (1985), Beyond the Gates (1986) and Revelations of Oblivion (2019), as well as one live album, two compilation albums and two EPs.
