About AGGRESSION:

Fast forward to 2005. The 1986 AGGRESSION’s unreleased album Forgotten Skeleton gets unleashed and sees the band reunite at Montreal Metal Massacre fest 2005. Unable to commit to anything more than a few reunion shows, it was decided that the band would be put to rest once more. In the summer of 2014, band founder Denis Sasquatch Barthe hand picked players around him to breathe life back into Aggression. Changing home base from Montreal, QC to Vancouver, BC, Sasquatch recruited vocalist Brian Langley (from Toronto Thrash metal legends Infernal Majesty), bassist Martin Meyer (ex-Disciples of Power, Life Against Death), guitarist Dave Watson (Entropia) and Ryan Murray Idris (Expain) on drums. Since that time, the band has been its most active ever. In  2015, the band toured and co-headlined a number of festivals and select cities throughout North America along with releasing their first album of new material in 27 years entitled ‘Fractured Psyche Demons’ via Galy Records.

Discography:

*band line up for recordings was Denis Sasquatch Barthe (guitar and backup vocals), Botcher (vocals), Burn (guitar), Dug (bass) and Gate (drums and backup vocals).

*1985 – *4 track demo

*1986 – *Live (14 track live album)

*1986  -* 4 Track demo

*1986 – Forgotten Skeleton (originally recorded in 1986 and later released in 2004)

Canadian 80’s thrashers AGGRESSION announce they will be hitting the road this summer for their USA ‘Demons of West Coast Tour’ in support of their latest album ‘Fractured Psyche Demons’ released during August 2015 on Galy Records.

“As the Aggression accelerated journey to hell continues, I couldn’t be more excited about our upcoming promotional tour of the USA West Coast hitting cities that have been filled with Aggression fans since day 1. Back in the 80’s, we sold most of our demos in the L.A./San Fran market and it will be great to see some of these metal fans out there. Let’s thrash the West Coast – old school style!” comments founding member Denis Sasquatch Barthe.

In additional news, AGGRESSION is proud to announce new band member bassist Martin Meyer (ex-Disciples of Power, Life Against Death) who replaces original bass player Yves “Dug” Duguay.
Denis Sasquatch Barthe comments “The band lives in Vancouver on the West coast. Dug lives in Montreal on the East coast so that was working against us to begin with. We did a tour through Ontario and Quebec with him last spring and I think it was just too much for him. He’s been dealing with some health issues for a few years now. We all wish him the best.”

Meyer comments on joining the band “So there I was enjoying some time off from music. Having spent the better part of 30 years touring and playing in bands like the Golers, Life Against Death, this all after having my first taste of the music life with Disciples of Power all them years ago. Anyhow, like I said, I was enjoying my time off, then an old buddy of mine says to me “hey, ya wanna play a couple shows?”. So I say to myself “You should go have some fun” Well..here we are now, some time later and I say to myself. “Hey… These guys are alright, I think I’ll stick around””.

1) Defenders Of The Old (brand new)

2) Cut Your Sins Off  (brand new)

Song Stream – Rotten By Torture – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP4MYLJXHvo

Entitled ‘Fractured Psyche Demons’, the 11 track release will be coming out via Galy Records on August 18th.

“Aggression hit the studio last month for the first time since 1987 and we worked with producer Mike Rogerson and engineer Brett Stewart at Vancouver, BC’s Harbourside Studio. The outcome was three brand new Aggression songs and a re-recorded version of the group’s previously demoed song Metal Slaughter. These four new recordings are set to be released with two other sets of unreleased demos (1985 Demo and the 1986 Demo “Mutilator”) that have been remastered by Mike Rogerson.” comments founding guitarist Denis Sasquatch Barthe.

Aggression is also pleased to continue their partnership with 1987’s The Full Treatment album artist Andre “Thrasher” Gibouleau who came up with the cover art for the new Aggression offering ‘Fractured Psyche Demons’.

About AGGRESSION:

Formed in 1985 under the original moniker “Asylum” to be later changed to AGGRESSION, the speed metallers unleashed their 1986 demo “Forgotten Skeleton”, (which saw an album release in 2005) and their debut full length “The Full Treatment” in 1987, which lead them to become one of the most popular bands to rise out of the Quebec and Canadian metal scene. With their manager at the time (Johnny Hart), AGGRESSION quickly became a household name with their concerts sold out everywhere and a fanbase that grew from hundreds to thousands in no time.  Other bands such as Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, Hallow’s Eve, Destruction and others all wanted to see the beast for themselves during tour stops in Montreal. Playing numerous concerts with bands such as Anvil, Celtic Frost, Voïvod, Nuclear Assault, Agnostic Front, D.R.I., Possessed, Dark Angel, Crumbsuckers, Sacrifice and others, AGGRESSION decided to call it quits in 1989 due to external influences.

     With their 30 year anniversary looming, founding AGGRESSION guitarist Denis ‘Sasquatch’ Barthe has handpicked the finest musicians around him to reform the 80’s thrashers for their first US tour this coming March. The ‘Forsaken East Coast Survival Tour’ will kick off at 2015 edition of Defenders of The Old Festival in Brooklyn, NY on March 13th that includes Exciter, Riot V, The Rods and many more.

Denis “Sasquatch” Barthe comments:

“There’s no way Aggression could have entered the States in the 80’s. Now, 30 years later it’s amazing that we can make it happen! When we would scream “Thrash Till Death” we truly meant it. I can’t wait to see you all on the Forsaken East Coast Survival Tour!”

AGGRESSION‘s line up will feature vocalist Brian Langley from Toronto thrash metal legends Infernal Majesty, bassist Darin Wall and guitarist Dave Watson from Vancouver thrash powerhouse Entropia plus drum maniac Ryan Murray Idris from Expain.

This will be Aggression’s first series of shows since 2005, where they reunited at the Montreal Metal Massacre fest and unleashed their un-released 1986 album ‘Forgotten Skeleton’.

About AGGRESSION:

Formed in 1985 under the original moniker “Asylum” to be later changed to AGGRESSION, the speed metallers unleashed their 1986 demo “Forgotten Skeleton”, (which saw an album release in 2005) and their debut full length “The Full Treatment” in 1987, which lead them to become one of the most popular bands to rise out of the Quebec and Canadian metal scene. With their manager at the time (Johnny Hart), AGGRESSION quickly became a household name with their concerts sold out everywhere and a fanbase that grew from hundreds to thousands in no time.  Other bands such as Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, Hallow’s Eve, Destruction and others all wanted to see the beast for themselves during tour stops in Montreal. Playing numerous concerts with bands such as Anvil, Celtic Frost, Voïvod, Nuclear Assault, Agnostic Front, D.R.I., Possessed, Dark Angel, Crumbsuckers, Sacrifice and others, AGGRESSION decided to call it quits in 1989 due to external influences.
