Terromania is a groove metal/rock band from Jyväskylä, Finland, formed in 2021. They deliver heavy groove metal with rock accessibility.
Los Angeles hardcore institution Terror, founded by vocalist Scott Vogel after his tenure in Buried Alive, have been one of the most consistently furious and touring-obsessed bands in hardcore since 2002. Their sound is a no-frills, relentless assault of aggressive hardcore punk driven by Vogel's commanding bark, gang vocals, and mosh-inducing breakdowns that have kept the band on the road nearly every week of every year. Albums like 'One with the Underdogs' and 'The 25th Hour' deliver exactly what Terror's devoted following demands: uncompromising, pit-ready hardcore with zero pretension.
Riga's Terror Activator deliver straight-ahead thrash metal built on speed, precision, and relentless riffing, carrying the flag for old-school thrash in Latvia since 2019. Their name alone signals the band's commitment to thrash metal's confrontational, high-energy ethos.
Out of Lubbock, Texas, Terror Chamber have been dealing in stripped-down death metal since 2017 — a band born from the West Texas plains where there is nothing soft or decorative in the landscape, and nothing soft or decorative in the music. Their approach is direct and relentless, the kind of death metal that dispenses with subtlety and goes straight for the throat.
Devastating Death Metal / Grindcore from Houston.
Terror Daemonum is a death metal and grindcore project from Havířov in the Czech Republic, formed in 2024 and representing the newest wave of extreme metal emerging from the Silesian industrial region. Their sound combines death metal's guttural intensity with grindcore's relentless velocity.
Terror Detonator is a thrash metal band from Patras in the Peloponnese, active since 2010. Their music delivers explosive thrash aggression from Greece's third-largest city with the detonating force their name promises.
Death metal band from Teresina, Piauí, formed in 2019, recording with English-language lyrics that address themes of human degradation and conflict. Their debut full-length Visceral Annihilation was released in 2023 and is available on Bandcamp and Spotify.
Terror Firmer from Emilia-Romagna and Lazio deliver grindcore named after the Troma film since 2015. A decade of schlock-horror-inspired compositions bridges two of Italy's most culturally distinct regions.
