The 1985 Listening Post - Venom - Possessed

Venom - Possessed


#133
April 1985
Venom
Possessed
Genre: Heavy Metal
1.75 out of 5

Highlights:
Harmony Dies

Boy, how badly do Venom want to be Metallicahead?
This muddy concoction sounds like a band that has a LOT too much Bolivian Marching Powder. 
I get it. They really saw the Thrash Metal world taking off and probably thought they deserved a place in the pantheon of greats as one of the earlier bands to traffic in it, but this is no Black Metal. It’s just a mess.
