Possessed is the fourth studio album from English heavy metal legends Venom, released in 1985. Serving as the final record to feature guitarist Mantas before his initial departure from the band, it marks the close of an iconic chapter in Venom's early catalog. The album arrived at a pivotal moment for the band, following the groundbreaking run that helped define the extreme metal genre in the early 1980s.
Musically, Possessed delivers the raw, aggressive energy that Venom built their reputation on, with the core trio of Cronos, Mantas, and Abaddon driving through a set of characteristically dark and hard-hitting tracks. While it received a mixed critical reception upon release, the album has earned greater appreciation over time from fans who recognize its place in the band's legacy and the broader heavy metal landscape.
