Possessed Steel are in my eyes the band of the year! After having been active for a couple of years already, after having released two EPs and a demo, they this year, out of nowhere, presented their debut full-length album Aedris and turned the whole Epic Metal scene upside down, exceeding great albums by already established bands, which were highly anticipated. One reason why Aedris is so amazing, is the to some extent new approach towards epicness, combining various already known elements with their own personal style, thus, creating an absolute masterpiece! Therefore, it is even more intriguing to find out what influential albums paved the path to this epic adventure! Here are the Top 5 albums of all members of Possessed Steel! – Divine Victim
