EP 242 Possessed's genre defying slice of extreme metal 7 Churches

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we journey back to 1985 and the release of Possessed’s groundbreaking debut Seven Churches — a record that many consider the true birth of death metal. With its unholy mix of thrash speed, guttural vocals, and blasphemous themes, Seven Churches pushed metal into darker, heavier, and more dangerous territory. We’ll dig into its riffs, its chaotic energy, and how it influenced the rise of extreme metal that followed.For the break, I’ve got something brand new for you — Heads for the Dead return with their chilling new single “Phantasmagoria”, taken from their forthcoming album Never Ending Night of Terror, due out October 10th. A perfect blend of horror and heaviness to pair with this week’s classic deep dive.As promised the Heads For The Dead links are here.https://pulverised.bandcamp.com/album/never-ending-night-of-terrorhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRbOxi9gm-dLfLy7B-y-YDwSign up at Patreon.com/heavymetaltones to help support the show for just $2 a month this will help keep the lights on and the mic humming Hosted on Acast.
