Terror (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Terror, formed in 2000, is a metalcore band from Los Angeles, California. Though the group consider themselves a "hardcore" band, guitarist Doug Weber says Terror, "sounds like all of the old metal bands I used to listen to. It's just not crazy Swedish metal or something, it sounds like old thrash."[1] In addition, many of the group's guitar rhythms and drum beats are typical of the thrash metal and crossover thrash genres, though a strong youth crew hardcore element is heard.
Before Terror, vocalist Scott Vogel was already an underground household name, singing for mid-90s Buffalo bands Slugfest, Despair, and Buried Alive. Vogel is widely known in the scene not just for his tireless efforts to keep hardcore punk and metalcore "pure" and "fun," but for his love of stagedives, and for his tendency for bizarre and often hilarious on-stage banter, known colloquially as "Vogelisms". Examples include: "We need to elevate the maximum stagedive potential", "Take this shit to the next level", "Who cares if you're Christian?", and "Maximum output! Activate the pit!" Terror also participated in both years of the Sounds of the Underground tour.
