POSSESSED Hopes To Begin Recording New Album In September 2026: ‘I’m Fine-Tuning The Songs’, Says JEFF BECERRA
POSSESSED frontman Jeff Becerra has given fans an update on the long-awaited follow-up to the death metal band's 2019 album "Revelations Of Oblivion", saying he hopes recording will begin in September 2026. In a video message posted on social media, he explained he is currently fine-tuning songs and making vocal adjustments before heading into the studio, thanking fans for their patience during the album's protracted gestation.
Becerra detailed the band's remote recording process, with bassist Robert Cardenas, guitarists Daniel Gonzalez and Claudeous Creamer, and drummer Chris Aguirre laying down tracks over a click track before the group convenes in larger studios for drums, then guitar, bass and vocals. He acknowledged it has been almost seven years since the last record, but said he would rather delay than release substandard material, describing the new songs as heavier and markedly different from POSSESSED's previous output, with earlier comments suggesting it could be one of the band's darkest albums yet.
In short
- POSSESSED aims to start recording its new album in September 2026.
- Frontman Jeff Becerra is fine-tuning songs and vocals beforehand.
- Album follows 2019's "Revelations Of Oblivion" after nearly seven years.
Explained simply
POSSESSED are an American heavy metal band often associated with the early development of death metal, a style known for its very heavy sound and harsh vocals. Jeff Becerra, the band’s frontman, has led it through a career that has included long breaks and changes in its line-up.
The new record is planned as the follow-up to Revelations of Oblivion, released in 2019. The gap between albums reflects a lengthy writing and recording process, with band members working on tracks remotely before recording together in a studio.
The album matters to fans because it will show how POSSESSED’s sound has developed since their last release. Becerra has described the new songs as heavier and different from the band’s earlier work.
