Tankcrimes adds Obsessor

Posted in Labels on July 6, 2011

Tankcrimes has signed Richmond, VA metal-punks Obessor to a multi-album deal, starting with the Obsession EP on cassette and 7" and the band is at work on a follow-up EP as well.

Here is how the label describes Obsessor:
OBSESSOR is a new one-man project based in Richmond, VA that draws heavy influences from the godly likes of Celtic Frost, English Dogs, Venom, Sodom, and Discharge – dirty, dark, raucous punk/metal chaos! All instruments, vokills and concepts are handled by Brandon "The Obsessor" Ferrell, known best for his time spent in bands like Direct Control, Government Warning, Wasted Time, and Municipal Waste. He also runs No Way Records and the Vinyl Conflict Record Store in Richmond, and is incredibly active in the local scene. OBSESSOR's sound is as old-school and raw as they come. Obsession thrashes hard and hits harder!

Tankcrimes also recently released a cassette from Copenhagen, Denmark's Night Fever, with the vinyl to come later this month.
