From the midwest comes a grind/death band with hopes of technicality and extreme brutality in a style influenced by aspects of both European and American death metal in the New York style.
Oppressor take a sound that is difficult to create and often done badly, the heavy and guttural American sound pioneered by bands such as Malevolent Creation and Suffocation, and convert it into the beginnings of a progressive sound unique to death metal without getting into either rock-n-roll silliness like Carcass or becoming a jazzfusion band like Pestilence or Cynic.
