Los Angeles, California (USA) hardcore metallers TERROR, led by frontman Scott Vogel, have earned quite a reputation since forming at the turn of the millennium. Their melding of no-frills breakneck hardcore and the fervor of new generation metal bridges the gap between young and old, and it makes for one hell of a pit no matter what city or stage the band leaves in ruin. Vogel has been a key figure in the scene’s survival, having given up a normal home life to slug it out on the road despite broken limbs, slipped discs and everything else that comes with hosting a Terror show.

This past year saw Terror tour relentlessly across the world a number of times over in support of their highly acclaimed latest album, The Damned, The Shamed, and will kick off the New Year with a massive North American run, dubbed “The Mosh Lives II Tour” with Emmure, After The Burial, Miss May I and Thick As Blood.

Vogel further states: “It’s crazy to think that at this point Terror has been around for about eight years. I guess after this year we have been around the world four times, recently adding Hawaii and Southeast Asia to the places we’ve played. The Atticus tour and the 10 For $10 tour were really wonderful, letting us clearly know that the U.S. is still solidly behind us. We are finishing up the year writing for our new LP ‘Keepers Of The Faith.’ I guess we kind of are a real band at this point as we prepare for our fifth album. Emmure is taking us out again in January and then off to Europe with Madball, Death Before Dishonor and Cruel Hand. Life’s good. The true believers remain.”
