Post Mortal Possession combines the influencing sounds of Necrophagist, Deicide, Decapitated, Gorgasm, Dimmu Borgir, among others, taking from a broader range to create a sound not fixated in one specific niche, which the band has successfully accomplished. They have played shows and shared the stage with Vital Remains, Deicide, Obituary, Gruesome, Rivers of Nihil, Goatwhore, Fallujah, Allegaeon, Incantation, Black Crown Initiate, Iniquitous Deeds, Defeated Sanity, Iniquitous Deeds, Vale of Pnath, Kamikabe, Psycroptic, Dark Sermon, Cattle Decapitation and in addition the best and most respected among the Pittsburgh and surrounding regions artists. The band started playing shows in early 2014 and has quickly gained recognition by its peers, local and surrounding state promoters, radio stations, fellow bands, social media and fans of extreme music worldwide. In late 2014 they recorded their first EP "Possessing Entity", a 5 track introduction to the impressive sound this band is capable of creating, with Shane Mayer of Cerebral Audio Studios. This recording received much praise from critics and fans for its proficient attack of death metal onslaught expected from the genre. The band went on to shoot playthrough videos (Suspended by Nails, The Harvest), and a live shot video (Visceral Butchery) with Shane also. Following the videos was regional touring and promoting while starting the now popular and continually growing "Scenes of Brutality" compilation CD, a well thought-out way of bands promoting each others’ bands. These compilations come in volumes, each volume containing local acts from the surrounding northeast area of the U.S. Expect to see Volume III in 2017. Drummer Nick Bentzel has also furthered his artistic endeavors through starting a private lesson studio at Backstage Guitars in Pittsburgh, and has a healthy relationship with sickdrummer.com, featuring drum lesson videos and also playthrough cover videos that are now available to see on youtube and sickdrummer.com Post Mortal Possession most recently released their second third full length "Valley of the Starving", a 12 track CD with an even more brutal and technical storm of vicious yet precise musical incision attacking all of your senses. Fans can expect a continuation of what Post Mortal Possession chooses to represent: hard working musicians creating the best music they can. They will continue to play shows and write as they continue to leave their mark on the death metal underground. Be on lookout for new live video and many shows for the upcoming year.
