Agressor

**Agressor** is a French thrash/death metal band that’s been shredding since the late ’80s, carving their name into the underground metal scene with raw energy and dark, riff-driven intensity. Hailing from the city of Lyon, the group—originally formed by guitarist/vocalist Alex Colin-Tocquaine and drummer Franck Pivoto—helped pioneer France’s extreme metal wave alongside peers like Loudblast. Their early albums, like *Neverending Destiny* (1990) and *Towards Beyond* (1992), blended thrash’s speed with death metal’s grit, earning cult status among fans of unrelenting, old-school heaviness.

After a lengthy hiatus, Agressor stormed back in the 2010s with renewed ferocity, dropping albums like *The Spirit of Evil* (2015) and *Deathreat* (2018) that proved they hadn’t lost their edge. Their 2021 release, *Rebirth*, solidified their comeback, mixing their classic sound with modern production. Whether you’re into sinister melodies or pummeling rhythms, Agressor remains a relentless force in metal’s darker corners.
