WAR POSSESSION set release date for debut, reveal first track

In their endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage death metal, on October 23rd, Memento Mori is proud to present War Possession’s highly anticipated debut album, Doomed to Chaos. Hailing from the black metal hotbed of Greece, War Possession indeed features a number of scene veterans within their ranks, including current and past members of such bands as Embrace of Thorns, Merciless Crucifixion, and Wargoat. Since the band’s beginnings in 2008, they’ve been possessed by an unwavering desire to craft and perform punishing, war-themed DEATH METAL impervious to trends and modern standards, combining corpulent, ominously slow riffs with blasting brutality soaked in a blackened ambience. References to be made are the olden endeavors of Bolt Thrower, Demigod, Treblinka/Tiamat, Incantation, Therion, Archgoat, Imprecation, and Asphyx. But while they’ve quietly made an impression across a demo, split, and EP, at long last, War Possession reveals its most devastating assault in Doomed to Chaos.

Totaling 10 tracks in a lean ‘n’ mean 40 minutes, Doomed to Chaos begins its slow lurch into undead life with an ominous intro, setting the stage for the audial apocalypse to come. War-torn atmosphere established, War Possession soon kick into caustic ‘n’ crunch gear with a proud ‘n’ powerful pulse not unlike a Panzer tank. No more and certainly no less, the band evince totally pure, unapologetically untarnished DEATH METAL songwriting that finds the right balance between linear and labyrinthine. Engaging the listener (and enemy!) at every decimated turn, the sonic canvas of Doomed to Chaos soon becomes a battlefield, as each song plays out the stark drama so endemic to war. Or, if you simply listen and prepare to be flattened, never giving a thought to their thematics, War Possession lurch ‘n’ lunge in a most classic way, even down to the early ’90s-style production (with mastering by The Crypt’s Ted Tringo). Completed by equally classic, era-accurate artwork by Fendieart, Doomed to Chaos is diehard death metal for death metal diehards – for victory!

Feel the first opening fire with the new track “Operation Neptune.”
