Gravelands

by Possessor

supported by
Old Man Metal
Old Man Metal thumbnail
Old Man Metal Mostly mid-length, mid-tempo, driven-feeling stoner/sludge with occasional bits of rockish speed metal, NWOBHM, thrash and hardcore. Solid trad/rock drumming. Production is consonant with sludge/stoner foundation. All around, quite well done. (Twitter review) Favorite track: Backwoods.

Not RomanPort A new Possessor album always means a good time, and this one is no different. Favorite track: Savage Rampage.
Nihilist Prayer

Nihilist Prayer Downright fast, brash and nasty (I literally ask you dear listeners to join us), a win for 2019! Can't wait to see what's up next but will be spinning this repeatedly in the interim. Very well done all! Favorite track: Backwoods.
Pepe Roni

Pepe Roni Possessor is without doubt the best band I've ever discovered here on bandcamp, and this latest album is their greatest sonic soundscape yet. They keep getting better and better and heavier and more progressive with each offering. This is ROCK the way it was meant to be played, passionately and intensely. If Possessor doesn't get you pumped and ready to rob some graves or kick over some headstones, then you are already dead my friend. ALL HAIL POSSESSOR!!!!!! Favorite track: Savage Rampage.

gaia groovy, heavy and fuzzy! Favorite track: Flight Of The Mutilator.

shedoverheels Best buy this just in case there's some kind of test/exam about it at the gates of hell, and you wouldn't wanna miss out on the fun down there, would you? Favorite track: Creature Of Havoc.
