It was 40 years ago when the original iteration of POSSESSED was formed. Now, after many years, the pioneers of death metal led by Jeff Becerra are coming back to Finnish soil for the joy of the old-school metalheads with a double show in Tampere at Olympia Kortteli and in Helsinki at On The Rocks on August 3rd and 4th, respectively.
Tickets to the events are still available for both gigs:
03.08.2023 @ Olympia Kortteli, Tampere: Steelfest.fi or Tiketti.fi
04.08.2023 @ On The Rocks, Helsinki: Tiketti.fi
Read the official tour statement:
“There was a time in which genuine power was felt erupting from the sonic landscape that is now referred to as “old school” death metal. As with most newly developed forms of art, at its genesis it was filled with a fresh and vibrant energy and was virtually unsaturated by musicians. It was the mighty POSSESSED who initially breathed life into this new and exciting genre. With writing that started in 1982, the first official death metal band created the now classic record »Seven Churches« and established the face of the genre permanently.
This summer, POSSESSED is getting back on the road for an impressive summer tour consisting of selected EU/UK club shows and the biggest European festivals. Crawling out of a pale inferno of creation, life, loss, and injury, the ensemble has returned to reignite the flame of true Death Metal!”
