Released in December 1986, Possessed by Fire is a relentless 31-minute assault of raw, primitive German thrash metal. Recorded at Caet Studio (Berlin) with brutal, lo-fi production that amplifies the chaos, the album explodes from the eerie intro straight into the title track’s machine-gun riffs and Mem von Stein’s demonic screams. Tracks like “Fallen Saint,” “A Mortal in Black” and “Destructive Solution” showcase Ray Mensh and Bernie’s razor-sharp guitar work, while Syke Bornetto’s manic drumming pushes everything into the red. Lyrically drenched in occult horror and apocalyptic themes, this record remains one of the most extreme and influential debuts of the entire Teutonic scene. A true underground classic that still burns with unholy fire.
