History:

Agressor is French Death/Thrash Metal band formed in 1986 in Antibes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The band recorded their first studio material in a split with the band Loudblast called Licensed To Thrash in 1987. Then the band went on to record their first two studio albums, Neverending Destiny and Towards Beyond in 1990 and 1992, two really solid album. Then with a changed lineup they recorded their next album called Symposium of Rebirth release in 1994. After a tour with Cradle Of Filth in June 1996, then the singer, Alexandre Colin-Tocquaine decided to leave the band to work for Black Mark Production for a demonstrator role for Ibanez. Then the band was dissolved in 1999 for musical reasons, but reformed in 2000 for the recording of their next album Medieval Rites and the E.P. The Spirit Of Evil in 2001 with James Murphy (Ex. Death, Obituary, Cancer and Disincarnate) as a special guest and in 2006 they released another album called Deathreat. In 2011, Alex announced that he was back in the band as the singer and the guitarist and he still is in the band as of today.
