Terror announce new album ‘Pain Into Power’

TERROR have announced a new album!

Titled Pain Into Power, the upcoming album from the Los Angeles-based hardcore band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Total Retaliation, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via End Hits Records.

With original guitarist Todd Jones at the production helm and Matt Hyde engineering/mixing (whose previous work includes the band’s album Keepers Of The Faith, as well as releases from DEFTONES, SLAYER, HATEBREED, and more), the band convened at Jett’s Jet To Mars Studio with the goal of making an album that captures the unhinged kinetic energy of TERROR’s earlier work filtered through 20 years of seasoned musicianship. “Todd’s whole approach to, and vision for, this record was to make it just full-on aggression from the minute it starts to the minute it ends,” vocalist Scott Vogel explains. “That goes back to our first EP, Lowest Of The Low, which Todd was writing on. This album is maybe even more turned-up, even faster, even more abrasive. TERROR post-Todd has stayed the course along that aggressive, hard-hitting, fast, in-your-face hardcore that doesn’t stray from the path too much–but he really wanted this one to be straight insanity that doesn’t let up.”

Whereas in the past Vogel’s lyrics have often pushed through darkness to channel a sense of positivity, the vocalist found that sentiment to be in shorter supply. “We’ve always walked that line between positivity and negativity,” he says. “Songs that are pure anger and songs that say ‘the world’s a shitty place but you’ve got the inner strength–and maybe this music and this scene–to help you through it.’ But a lot of these new songs are very angry and dark. I’ve tried my best to stay positive but, with this vibe of unrelenting musical destruction, it was a little bit harder to bring out that positive side.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; Can’t Help But Hate. The new song features a guest appearance from CANNIBAL CORPSE‘s George ‘Corpsegrinder’ Fisher.
