| I can't believe there's no thread about Oppressor until now! These guys were one of the great unhearled death metal bands of the mid-90's. "Agony" is one of their best albums. Mortal Music and MVD Audio have set a November 3 release date for a new compilation from OPPRESSOR entitled "The Solstice of Agony and Corrosion".
Despite being listed as an influence by such renowned metal acts as GOD FORBID and SHADOWS FALL, the Chicago, Illinois-based OPPRESSOR largely fell under the metallic radar during their years as an active band (1991-1999). But now, ten years after they ceased to be, highlights from all three of OPPRESSOR's studio albums will be highlighted on the forthcoming fourteen-track compilation.
Since all of the group's albums have been long out of print, this set will come in handy for admirers of underground and extreme metal. And in addition to album highlights, included are hard-to-find death metal readings of MÖTLEY CRÜE and OZZY OSBOURNE classics ("Looks That Kill" and "Over the Mountain", respectively). The set has been re-mastered by renowned DEATH guitarist James Murphy, and also includes a bonus DVD of live footage and interviews, as well as packaging chock full of rare photos and artwork.
"The Solstice of Agony and Corrosion" track listing:
01. Sea of Tears 02. Gone 03. Kingdom of the Dead 04. I Despise 05. Seasons 06. Rotted Paradise 07. Valley of Thorns 08. In Malice I Breathe 09. Eclipse Into Eternity 10. Upon The Uncreation 11. And The Angels Fell (The Suffering) 12. Carnal Voyage 13. Looks That Kill (MÖTLEY CRÜE cover) 14. Over The Mountain (OZZY OSBOURNE cover)
