First time on limited vinyl.

Chicagos iconic technical Death Metal band Oppressor was formed in 1991.

Oppressor is reformed and has started playing live again!

Oppressor recorded two demos… and their second demo, 1993s As Blood Flows, got them signed in 1993.

This demo was seen a very strong release, clocking in over 30 minutes and with a decent production.

Released the following year was the bands debut album, Solstice of Oppression which was supported by heavy touring, but Oppressors label went went bankrupt soon after.

They eventually hooked up with Olympic Recordings, which released their second studio album, Agony, in 1996.

Featuring more structured compositions, and an improved production, the album became the groups breakthrough, and ultimately allowed them to expand their audience after securing the opening slot on one of Cannibal Corpses American tours.

On this vinyl only release, limited to 300 copies we have added the World Abomination demo from 1991 to the before mentioned As Blood Flows demo from 1993.

This results in 55 minutes of pure early 90s US Death Metal that fits in with the likes of Suffocation, Broken Hope, Gorguts, Cryptopsy and Immolation.

Raw, primitive, brutal, in your face youthful US Death Metal, as it was and will never be again!

Classic early 90s US Death Metal for fans of early Suffocation, Gorguts, Cryptopsy and Immolation

Remastered by Erwin Hermsen at Toneshed Recording Studio, Horst, the Netherlands (a.o. Pestilence, Trouble, Malevolent Creation, Master)
