About the event
From the organiser, as published on Ticketmaster.
Spirit Possession (US) + Sovereign (NO) Vaterland Sunday 11th April 20:00 // 325.- + avg. // 20 years ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ Apocalyptic noise comes in many varieties. In the case of American Spirit Possession it is experienced as an accelerating spiral into the realm of schizophrenia with guiding help from razor-sharp guitars, sparkling drums, tortured vocals and general occult noise.
The duo from Portland, Oregon is made up of members S. Peacock (Black Curse, Ulthar, Mastery) on guitar and A.
Spungin (Vouna / Ormus / Taurus) on drums and handmade synthesisers. The band quickly became an underground favourite worldwide after they released their self-titled debut album in 2020.
An album packed to the brim with creative riffing and nerve-wracking atmosphere with a firm eye on extreme metal's formative years. Protoblack and thrash were also the main components on the second record "Of The Sign..." from 2023.
The expression from the debut is here more refined and irresistible, as if created for both the philosophical occultist and the beer-in-hand moshpit enthusiast. On this year's release "Cathedral Speech" in addition to the band's now established sound there has come more experimental song structures and a creeping influence from classical 1970s hard rock.
Right beneath ear-splitting dissonance and spurting energy lies a kind of bedrock of rock at its most grandiose. Yeah, it still sounds extreme, but the greatness from rock's greatest lies as a sublime driving force in an insane catchy metallic surge.
A factor that has previously been very much present in the band's ultra-intense concerts, but which is now also more present on record. That is also what is so fascinating about Spirit Possession, it sounds ugly, dirty and at times macabre, yet it is catchy in a way that makes you wonder just how broad this band can reach.
For now it is for those of us who know, and therefore it is extra splendid to be able to offer not one, but T
