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"".

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.
