Terror, formed in 2000, is a hardcore punk, crossover thrash and metalcore[1][2] 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."[3]

Terror has been very successful in their time as a band. Their album One with the Underdogs sold over 40,000 copies. They have also been on tours throughout Europe, Australia, Brazil and Japan.[4] Their newest album, Always the Hard Way reached #10 on Billboard's Heatseekers and #19 on Top Independent Records.[5]

Before Terror, vocalist Scott Vogel was already an underground household name, singing for mid-90s Buffalo bands Slugfest, Despair, and Buried Alive. Early guitarist Todd Jones was also a member of the well-known hardcore band Carry On (who had releases on Bridge Nine and Youngblood Records).

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 the first two years of the Sounds of the Underground tour.
