First time on vinyl!\u003cbr\u003eChicago's iconic technical Death Metal band Oppressor was formed in 1991 by bassist\/vocalist Tim King and guitarist Adam Zadel, soon adding guitarist Jim Stopper and\u003cbr\u003edrummer Tom Schofield. Oppressor is reformed and has started playing live again!\u003cbr\u003eOppressor recorded two demo's... and their second demo, 1993's 'As Blood Flows', got them signed in 1993. This demo was seen a very strong release, clocking in\u003cbr\u003eover 30 minutes and with a decent production. Released the following year was the band's debut album, 'Solstice of Oppression' which was supported by heavy touring, but\u003cbr\u003eOppressor's label went went bankrupt soon after.\u003cbr\u003eTo keep their name in the public ear, Oppressor released a half-live\/half-studio compilation called 'European Oppression Live\/As Blood Flows', live material collected from their\u003cbr\u003eEuropean support tour for their debut and studio material consisting of the band's 1993 'As Blood Flows' demo in its entirety.\u003cbr\u003eThey eventually hooked up with Olympic Recordings, which released their second studio album, 'Agony', in 1996. Featuring more structured compositions, and an improved\u003cbr\u003eproduction, the album became the group's breakthrough, and ultimately allowed them to expand their audience after securing the opening slot on one of Cannibal Corpse's\u003cbr\u003eAmerican tours.\u003cbr\u003ePure early 90's US Death Metal that fits in with the likes of Suffocation, Broken Hope, Gorguts, Cryptopsy and Immolation.
