San Francisco death metallers POSSESSED are scheduled to perform at this summer's Wacken Open Air 2007 (www.wacken.com), scheduled for August 2nd - 4th in Wacken, Germany.

According to an update from Voices From The Darkside, the lineup performing will include original vocalist Jeff Becerra as well as members of SADISTIC INTENT.

Sadistic Intent guitarist Rick Cortez states, "Jeff Becerra chose us to do Possessed with him! We've been rehearsing songs from Seven Churches, Beyond The Gates and The Eyes Of Horror! The people from the Wacken fest got in contact and invited us to appear at this year's event! We've already accepted their offer so it's pretty much official, Possessed is going to do one exclusive show for Wacken! This will be the only show for Possessed in Europe, at least for now. As far as Sadistic Intent, we are trying to organize a show in Germany (preferably nearby the Wacken) the day after the fest which is a Sunday. I already spoke with Wannes of PENTACLE and they would like to do the gig with us. I am waiting for the booking agent to get back to me regarding this Sadistic Intent show. If it does happen, it will be the only Sadistic Intent show in Europe for now as well."
