Spirit Possession is a new black metal entity emerging from
the Pacific Northwest and is a duo comprised of vocalist /
guitarist S (Ulthar, Mastery, Pale Chalice) and drummer
/ keyboardist A (ex-Insect Ark). The band’s approach to
their singular style of raw, schizophrenic spiraling black
metal is unlike anything emerging from the black metal
underground today. This self-titled debut encompasses the
avant-garde, non-conformist aura of the black metal
outliers of the ’90s and early ’00s, while pushing the
thresholds of the forward-thinking underground black metal
movement currently in the US. Through seven serpentinelike tracks, Spirit Possession emerge with an aberration of
archaic black metal chaos.
