TerrorBiographyTerror have cemented their 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 have stuck to their guns or guitars playing aggro, 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. Vocalist Scott Vogel is a bundle of endless energy, leaping about stages in baggy shorts and demanding "More stage dives!" in-between songs. He can be a big kid at play who gleefully enjoys a good pit but is also drop dead serious when it comes to hardcore, screaming lyrics like "You say you fucking live for this' But what the fuck did you ever give' I gave everything. You'll know I'll fight to keep this alive." Spending his formative years fronting such touchstone hardcore bands as the Buffalo, NY based Slugfest, Despair and Buried Alive, Vogel has put his heart as well as his blood, sweat and tears into this scene. He has moved across the country, forsaken a normal home-life off of the road and even broken limbs and slipped discs in his neck for this. Terror began in April 2002 shortly after Vogel moved to L.A., by July of that year it was a full-time touring band. Some four years later, the group have never spent more than a month off of the road and continue to tour relentlessly across the globe including the upcoming full runs of Brazil and Europe this spring before embarking as a featured act on the Sounds Of The Underground tour this summer (alongside groups like In Flames, As I Lay Dying and more). |
