Sie gelten als die Erfinder des Death Metal: Possessed aus San Francisco. Die Band um Sänger Jeff Becerra hat eine äußerst wechselhafte Geschichte hinter sich.
Beeinflusst von Bands wie Exodus, Motörhead und Venom legen die High School-Freunde von Possessed Anfang der Achtziger direkt eine Schippe drauf. Schon ihr Debüt-Demo nennen sie "Death Metal", woher auch der Name des Genres stammt.
Auf dem Debütalbum "Seven Churches" verwendet Sänger Jeff Becerra eine Gesangstechnik zwischen Grunzen und Schreien, die bis heute das Markenzeichen des Genres ist. Auch instrumental nimmt die Band vieles vorweg, was heute im Death Metal Standard ist: symphonische, superschnelle Riffs und komplexe Rhythmen. Mitte der Achtziger hat die Band bereits einen Namen und spielt mit Kollegen wie Slayer, Celtic Frost, Voivod und Venom.
Ende der Achtziger trennt sich die Band, Becerra wird 1989 bei einem Überfall mehrfach in die Brust geschossen und ist seither querschnittsgelähmt. 2007 reformiert er Possessed beim Wacken Festival mit neuen Mitgliedern. Seitdem ist die Band wieder regelmäßig auf Tour und schreibt neue Songs.

[JuanRodriguez-tgcu]

I really admire how the vocalist never gave up...really inspiring

[diegoq]

I'd like to see Jeff using a throne when he's singing.

[ZydarCalh]

The drummer is raping the drums
The guitars are on fucking point
Jeff nailing vocals
What a gorgeous fucking band

[sktrboi]

And it's kind of harder to produce vocals while sitting down because of extra strain, and jeff is just killing it in his throne of a wheelchair, this band kicks ass! 🤘🏻

[SASTORM]

great vocals from Jeff, and Emilio killing the drums, awesome band

[Jeremyfirespitter]

Death metal man of the century. Never sold out and still the real deal.posers recognize.tight as hell musicians, vocals on point Jeff. Never stop the killings

[tsibren]

Not only the best comeback album but best comeback concert as well. 🤘

[DeathSpellXVI]

I actually fuckin love how Possessed has modernized their sound little without losing their essence, loving the heavy drum work, the bass drums fuckin fantastic and different guitar tuning more up to today's Death Metal standard is awesome, and Jeffs vocals of course always so fuckin amazing.

[avocadodip]

I fucking love this band, thank god Jeff came back I wish he never got paralyzed 😔 god bless you Jeff

[Max-oxfn]

you can see that jeff is so happy and proud of himself bro, that shit is amazing, love that guy

[cormacculkeenThelabforwords]

Watching this makes you realise what an underrated guitar duo Larry LaLonde and Mike Torrao were. If they'd kept going instead of splitting back in 87, Possessed would have been right up there. Delighted to see this lineup up and running and Jeff Becerra keeping the flame burning.

[HERNANFERNANDEZMD]

POSSESSED fan since the very beginning. This sound never gets old!! This songs are part of the soundtrack of my youth!!

[salottin]

Damn... Jeff Becerra has one of the best stage presences ever!
And those drums!!!

[bxhrbr]

Good concert...that drummer is kicking some ass. Becerra is epic as always.
