US RELEASE DATE FOR POSSESSED TRIBUTE CONFIRMED

Philadelphia: Candlelight Records confirms May 18 as the US release date for the anticipated Possessed tribute album, titled Seven Gates of Horror. The mid-priced recording features selections from Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth, Vader and many other metal notables.

No fan of early thrash and death metal can argue the impact that San Francisco’s Possessed had on the genre. Now, well over a decade on, the band’s legacy continues to evolve and grow. Seven Churches, undoubtably a genre best, took the then popular thrash metal style to new levels of intensity and brutality as frontman Jeff Becerra became the first to introduce the growling vocal style that would (and continues) to epitomize the death metal genre.

Formed in the early 80’s, Possessed released Seven Churches via Combat Records in 1985. They would follow with Beyond the Gates and the 5-song ep The Eyes of Horror before disbanding several years later. A best of was released, Victims of Death, in 1993.

Seven Gates of Horror is a definitive collection of timeless metal classics, updated by today’s top selling metal acts. Of interest to the recording, original Possessed vocalist Jeff Becerra contributes vocals to Los Angeles-based Sadistic Intent's rendition of fan favorite, “The Exorcist.”

Track listing for Seven Gates of Horror is confirmed as: The Exorcist (Sadistic Intent), Fallen Angel (Impious), Confessions (Cannibal Corpse), The Beasts of Apocalypse (Pentacle), Death Metal (Vader), No Will to Live (Diabolic), Satan's Curse (God Dethroned), Wing of the Ax (Absu), Storm in My Mind (Sinister), Burning in Hell (Angel Corpse), Evil Warriors (Krabathor), March to Die (Houwitser), The Eyes of Horror (Amon Amarth).
