Possessed, the iconic US death metal pioneers, have exciting news for their Australian fans. The band is set to embark on a four-date headline tour across Australia in October 2025. This tour marks the 40th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut album, Seven Churches.
The 40th Anniversary Seven Churches Tour will kick off in Brisbane and then make its way through Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. Notably, the Melbourne show is scheduled for Halloween night, adding a touch of darkness to the celebration of one of the metal genre’s original innovators.
With their raw speed, ferocious vocals, and unique heaviness, Possessed is often hailed as one of the earliest true death metal bands. Their early albums, including Seven Churches, Beyond The Gates, and The Eyes of Horror EP, solidified their legacy in the metal world and inspired generations of musicians.
Fronted by Jeff Becerra, Possessed has continued to evolve over the years. Their 2019 comeback album, Revelations of Oblivion, was well-received for staying true to their classic sound while also pushing boundaries. The band’s enduring impact is evident as they continue to deliver their signature loud and brutal performances.
Australian fans have been eagerly awaiting Possessed’s return to their shores after years of absence. This upcoming tour presents a rare opportunity for metal enthusiasts to witness a band that has left an indelible mark on the genre, remaining as powerful and intense as ever even after four decades.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale on July 8 through Hardline Media, offering fans a chance to experience the legendary Possessed live in action.
As metal fans gear up for this momentous occasion, the anticipation is high for a tour that not only celebrates the band’s rich history but also showcases their enduring relevance in the metal scene. Possessed’s impact on the genre cannot be overstated, and their Australian tour promises to be a memorable experience for all who attend.
