Los Angeles grindcore band Terrorizer formed in 1986 around vocalist Oscar Garcia, guitarist Jesse Pintado, and drummer Pete Sandoval, recording their sole classic lineup album World Downfall in 1989 for Earache Records with Morbid Angel's David Vincent producing and playing bass.

A reformed lineup released Darker Days Ahead in 2006, though the original lineup never reconvened.
