Beyond Possession

Beyond Possession was an early thrash / hardcore punk /skater crossover band from Calgary, Canada from 1984-89. They evolved out of an earlier bands named Riot .303 and White Noise (34). They recorded a 7" EP ("Tell Tale Heart") in 1984 which was a fusion of skater thrash and horror punk, and, after switching guitarists, a full album ("468070") in 1986 for Metal Blade Records that was more thrashy. They toured extensively especially on the US west coast and prairies. After going through various line-up changes (especially on guitar) they recorded demos for a second LP in 1989 that pointed to a more moody metal direction but broke up without finishing it. All their recordings were released on CD ("4117068") on Melodiya Records in 1996.
