Artist Biography

Terror 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 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. Vocalist Scott Vogel is a bundle of endless energy, leaping about stages demanding nothing less than total crowd participation and interaction. 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. Five years later, the group has never spent more than a month off of the road and continues to tour relentlessly across the globe.
