Terminal Bliss formed in Richmond, Virginia in 2019, assembling veterans of the mid-Atlantic underground including members of Pg. 99, City of Caterpillar, Iron Reagan, and Darkest Hour. Channeling the aggression of Born Against, Gauze, and Crossed Out, the band made their Relapse Records debut with the debut EP Brute Err/Ata, which blazed through ten songs in ten minutes, and followed it with the full-length Balladeers. Their hardcore approach is blunt and politically pointed, addressing consumerism, environmental destruction, and healthcare failure.
