On the eve on their May 2026 European tour, New York hardcore juggernauts SHEER TERROR have released ‘Squat Diddler’, a brand new track from the band’s upcoming TKO Records mini-LP, ‘Let These Be Our Troubles’.
Founded in 1984, SHEER TERROR melded the ultra-aggressive hardcore punk of DISCHARGE and THE NIHILISTICS with the rock-solid low-end of proto-metal behemoths BLACK SABBATH and MOTÖRHEAD. At the center of their churning, sonic onslaught was indomitable frontman Paul Bearer, his much-copied vocal style careening from the hoarsest of howls to a soaring baritone, delivering dark, literate, lyrics, informed by the classic country and blues themes of sin and regret.
