Aggression are a Canadian thrash metal band formed in Montreal, Quebec in the mid-1980s. They are regarded as part of the country’s underground thrash movement, known for fast, aggressive riffing and a raw, uncompromising sound rooted in classic 1980s thrash metal.
Operating largely within the underground scene, Aggression developed a cult reputation for their intensity, DIY ethos, and long-term persistence across multiple eras of activity.
Aggression’s sound is defined by rapid-fire guitar work, pounding rhythms, and shouted vocals delivered with a direct, no-frills approach. Their style reflects the influence of early thrash pioneers while maintaining a distinctly Canadian underground identity.
The band are especially noted for balancing old-school thrash aggression with occasional later-era revival activity.
The Full Treatment (1987) – early release capturing Aggression’s raw, high-speed thrash foundations and underground Canadian metal energy.
Forgotten Skeleton (2004) – archival release collecting rare and early material, reinforcing their cult underground status.
Fragmented Spirit Devils (2016) – later-era release showcasing renewed activity and a continued commitment to aggressive, old-school thrash.
Frozen Aggressors (2023) – modern release that reaffirms the band’s legacy with a heavy, raw thrash sound rooted in their classic style.
Aggression are considered a cult name within Canadian thrash metal, respected for their authenticity and persistence within the underground scene rather than mainstream success.
Fans of artists such as Dark Angel, Sacrifice, and Slaughter are likely to appreciate Aggression’s raw, fast, and uncompromising thrash metal approach.
