Venom's "Possessed" Will Possess You!!!

Review Score: (10/10)
1985 saw the release of Venom's 4th album entitled "Possessed". This was the last record by the original band, (Cronos, Mantas, Abbadon). In my opinion, it is just as good as thier 1st 3 albums. Venom wrote some real classics on this cd and it is sadly one of thier most underrated albums. On "Possessed", Venom we're in a somewhat different songwriting mode and they have changed just a little bit. I think the songs are very good. With tracks like "Powerdrive, Satanachist, Harmony Dies, Hellchild, Moonshine and Mystique", Venom's songwriting grew to be more complex and intricate. Although I say that, the band did not lose any of thier fire and none of the diabolical themes they are so known for. Some of thier best songs are on this cd. I like it just as much as "Welcome To Hell, Black Metal" and "At War With Satan." "Possessed is a definite must have if you travel the long and lonley road to hell. In closing, this is a classic NWOBHM release.
