One of the most legendary and influential bands in metal history — the mighty POSSESSED — are set to return to Australia for their “40th Anniversary Seven Churches Tour” this October 2025. The band will headline four explosive shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne (on Halloween night), and Canberra. Hardline Media is proud to bring this milestone tour direct from the USA to fans down under.
POSSESSED’s legacy is anchored by their classic releases — the trailblazing albums Seven Churches (1985) and Beyond The Gates (1986), as well as the powerful EP The Eyes Of Horror (1987). These works cemented their place as one of the most important bands in the original Death/Thrash Metal movement. After a lengthy hiatus, the band made a triumphant return with 2019’s Revelations Of Oblivion on Nuclear Blast Records.
Tickets for the “40th Anniversary Seven Churches Tour” go on pre-sale starting Thursday, July 3rd at HardlineMedia.net, with general sales opening Tuesday, July 8th. Don’t miss your chance to witness a true metal milestone live on stage as POSSESSED celebrate four decades of pioneering metal history in Australia!
