Oppressor was a technical death metal band from Chicago, Illinois, which formed in 1991 and disbanded in 1999. They released three albums. Three of the band's members went on to form alternative metal band Soil.
History
Oppressor was started in May 1991 by Tim King and Adam Zadel. A month later, they found another guitarist in Jim Stopper and a drummer in Tom Schofield. They recorded their first demo, World Abomination, in 1991. A second demo, As Blood Flows, recorded in 1992, got them a record deal with Red Light Records, who released their first full-length album, Solstice of Oppression, in 1994. Shortly after the album's release, Red Light went bankrupt and the band was forced to find another label. In the meantime, the band released a one-off live album/compilation album with Megalithic Records, entitled Oppression Live/As Blood Flows. Megalithic, a Milwaukee, WI label, also went bankrupt after a few months of activity. They managed to score a record deal with Olympic Recordings and released Agony. In 1995, three-quarters of the band, bar Jim Stopper, started an alternative metal side project called Soil, with Broken Hope guitarist Shaun Glass and Ryan McCombs. In 1998, Oppressor released their final album, Elements of Corrosion. When in 1999 Soil become more popular than Oppressor, the band decided to part ways.

Elements of Corrosion
by: OppressorBury the light,
To blacken your soul
Liars in wait,
Feeling so cold
In malice I breathe,
Through blindness I see
Valleys of life,
Pleasure in pain
Beauty once loved,
Cast down in flames
In malice I breathe,
Through blindness I see
In malice I breathe,
I conquer your dreams
Feel my vengeance,
Cast upon thee
Ride the serpents,
Of never ending...fear
Fields of rage,
Swallow your mind
Life swept away,
By the divine
