Possession are a band from Belgium that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays an aggressive mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "The Mother of Darkness" which was released by iron Bonehead Productions.
A very dark sounding into starts off the album along with some bells, synths and ritualistic spoken words before going into a heavier direction. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the vocals add in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also bringing in more of an old school extreme metal style, angry shouts are also utilized at times as well as some stringed instruments also being used briefly before going into the second part of the recording.
Possession plays a musical style that takes the most aggressive styles of black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Possession, Demonolatry and Witchcraft themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Possession and if you are a fan of black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Black Chapel" "The Mother Of Darkness" and "Young Blood Ritual". 8 out of 10.
