Remember when I said that Hirax sounded like High School students who found themselves in a studio? This IS that.
Literally.
High School juniors Jeff Becerra and Larry LaLonde found themselves in a recording studio and created a new kind of metal. Death Metal. I know we’ve used that term before but, apparently, its really meant to be attributed to Possessed for its earliest coinage. Also “Grindcore”.
And that’s what this sounds like. And unlike the formless, gormless Hirax, Possessed is the sound of a murderous army out for mayhem and unabated and wanton destruction.
The power of youth.
