The Crusher

[Sleipnir]

On the CD The Crusher they have that "bonus track" Eyes of Horror. Is that an original or a cover?? I cant help think it's a cover of an old Possessed song just in the way it sounds.

 

[Brainkisser]

I'm about 90% certain it's a Possessed cover.

 

[Amonn]

Cover or not, it sounds awesome!

 

[PaganBlood]

Of course its the possessed song.

 

[Voitto]

I think this is Celtic Frost. Saying the truth, I never listened to them, but almost every second band makes at least one Celtic's cover song... So I guess this must be Celtic Frost's song.

 

[burning creation]

its the possessed cover... its on a possessed tribute album

 

[Voitto]

Possessed, Possessed. I've just found lyrics....
But why there isn't written in a booklet whose song it is?

 

[DemonsAndLies666]

because your supposed to know who it is already =\

 

[Sleipnir]

Thanks all, I had this gnawing feeling the first time I heard it. I used to love Possessed...damm I can remember when they came out, lol...but your right Amonn, they did an awesome job covering it.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

It's Possessed, and if you don't already have Possessed's Seven Churches, then you need to buy it because that is where death metal began.

 

[Voitto]

[...] because that is where death metal began.

So, it wasn't thrash? Cover sounds very thrashy...

 

[Thrymfal]

they were by definition a thrash band, but they are credited also as the first "death metal" band

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Bridged the gap. Death metal evolved out of thrash...it was part of the "extremization" process, from NWOBHM-->speed-->thrash-->death-->grindcore-->total fucking noise like Cock & Ball Torture.

 

[Voitto]

I never heard about them. Until last Tuesday...

 

[DE]

Pyrus's jewfro has spoken.

 

[metal devi]

Neither did I...
