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.
