One of the most influential metal bands ever, is without doubt Possessed. Didn’t they create an entire main genre in extreme metal? The Possessed demo ‘Death Metal’ from 1984 was groundbreaking and led to a deal with Combat Records. Debut album ‘Seven Churches’ was released late 1985 and influenced many, if not all, extreme metal bands up till today. Live at Balboa Theatre, January 1986 was the gig they performed the ‘Seven Churches’ album. That night the bill was Exodus, Possessed, Dark Angel, DRI & Death Angel.  All tracks are carefully restored and remastered by Achilleas Kalantzis (Vio Lence, Defiance, Varathron). Extensive liner notes / interview with Jeff Becerra. Rare, never before published pictures. Cover and booklet art by Thomas Pinheiro (Malevolent Creation, Defiance, Lobotomy). Official live album.
