Possessor is an American thrash metal band from Virginia and this is their debut album. They promised old school thrash and that is what I got, although if that is what I wanted is an entire different matter.
City Built with Skulls starts with a prophetical intro speaking of Earth’s demise, painting a landscape of devastation ravaged by famine and war which then leads into Fire from Hell a very good thrash song, really intense and aggressive. The rest of the album follows with the same idea, very fast and aggressive songs, made for headbanging and moshing, with special mention to the song Heavy Metal Underground an ode to the, yes you guessed, the underground of Metal.
This is a very strong debut album for these American thrashers, although it doesn’t have anything new or special to offer, it can appeal to fans of old school brutal and aggressive thrash.
