sentences:  Up until the release of the album, the band had practiced at manager Debbie Abono's house in Pinole, but had formed in the El Sobrante/San Pablo area, which was the location of Mike Torrao's and Mike Sus' garage band.In November of the same year, the band flew to Montreal, Quebec, Canada for the WWIII Weekend Festival in support of the "Seven Churches" release, playing alongside Celtic Frost, Destruction, Voivod and Nasty Savage; the concert was Possessed's first and largest arena appearance, with nearly 7,000 in attendance.While Florida's Death had released more albums and is also cited as an enduring death metal progenitor, "Seven Churches" pre-dated the latter band's 1987 debut, "Scream Bloody Gore" by two years.
