The
tireless and tour-hungry hardcore loyalists in LA’s TERROR, spearheaded
by the endless enthusiasm of 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.
As
synonymous as the band has become with stellar live shows, records like
Lowest of the Low, One with the Underdogs and Always the Hard Way have
earned TERROR a reputation for consistency. No matter what the
circumstances, Vogel has surrounded himself with talent rich in
passion. A DIY attitude has often been a common bond between band
members, and the current line-up is no exception. New guitarist Martin
Stewart made invaluable contributions to the purist, no B.S. approach
heard on Donnybrook’s Lions In This Game, Doug Weber (guitar) and Nick
Jett (drums) have been with the band from the start, and Jonathan Buske
(bass) gave Always the Hard Way an effective lumbering beat.
If
anything, TERROR’s goal is to bring back the good natured release of
circle pits and stage dives as well as the finger-pointing anthems that
were once integral to the hardcore scene. In its infancy, the band
represented everything overzealous bouncers hated, and Vogel
encouraging the crowd to “elevate the maximum stagedive potential”
didn’t always sit well with the LA venues they packed with sweaty kids
fed-up with aimless music. Nonetheless, thanks to word of mouth and the
strength of songs like “Keep Your Distance” and “What Have We Done,”
the band soon found itself touring partners with everyone from As I Lay
Dying to Hatebreed, amongst a slew of others. 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.
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.
