TERROR has cemented its status in great stone letters as guardians of old school hardcore ethics while winning the pit fervor of the new generation of metal and hardcore fans. Ignoring current musical trends the L.A. based band has stuck to its guns playing aggressive, no frills, breakneck hardcore like “The Cro-Mags” and “Agnostic Front” before them. Ragged metal-tinged guitars, rapid fire drum lines, slithering bass lines and trademark double-fisted vocal attacks are trademarks of their sound. TERROR is a bundle of endless energy, leaping about stages, demanding nothing less than total crowd participation and interaction.

They were founded the year 2002 and since that date the group has never spent more than a month off of the road and continues to tour relentlessly across the globe. TERROR’s previous releases “One With The Underdogs” (2004), “Lowest Of The Low” (2005) and “Rhythm Amongst The Chaos” (2007) struck the American and European hardcore scenes hard and there was nary a message board worldwide that wasn’t singing the praises of the group. This was fully backed by any live performance the band played and that quickly gave proof they were the real deal. While a TERROR live show is packed with aggressive energy, it also brings back the good-natured release of circle pits, stage dives and finger pointing anthems that are sorely missed by today’s hardcore scene. TERROR soon found itself popular touring partners across the country of such heavyweights as Comeback Kid, Converge, Hatebreed, Biohazard, Ignite, Sick Of It All and Madball, as well as being able to hang with metal groups such as Killswitch Engage and In Flames. It is this drive and desire that has cemented TERROR into the hearts of music fans worldwide and made them royalty within the touring front. The fact that they’re direct support to the reunited Earth Crisis right now speaks volumes.

So, be now prepared for TERROR’s third full-length “The Damned, The Shamed”, surfacing on May 26th, 2008. This vicious slab of brutality was produced by the renowned Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall) and is sure to please the band’s diehard fan base, while garnering a new legion of young maniacal supporters. Time off for TERROR is considered time away from their hardcore family across the globe, something that they cannot live without, so rest assured, the years to come hold many more releases and live appearances worldwide. But one thing is for sure: “The Damned, The Shamed” is the definitive hardcore album of 2008. Consider this your only warning.
