CD reissue of two essential releases by the American POSSESSED, one of the founding bands of Death Metal. This edition combines the band's second album “Beyond the Gates” (1986) with the legendary EP “The Eyes of Horror” (1987), offering a comprehensive look at the final chapter of a group that played a crucial role in the development of extreme Metal.
While “Beyond the Gates” showcased a move toward more elaborate songwriting and a more refined production, “The Eyes of Horror” brought back some of the aggression of the band's early years, featuring songwriting contributions from Joe Satriani and the guitar work of Larry LaLonde. An essential release for discovering one of the most influential and visionary bands in the history of Death Metal.
Recommended for fans of DEATH, NECROPHAGIA, MANTAS and MASSACRE.
