As the sticker on the front of this album implies, Terror take pride in the fact that they're making straight up, no holds barred, trend proof hardcore for the kids that love it. And I'd be lying if I said this album wasn't no holds barred.

From the very first track to the end of the album, you're gonna get pummeled by straight forward, no bulls*it hardcore tunes sounding like a cross between old school Hatebreed and Madball. Vocalist Scott Vogel's shout actually brings to mind Jamey Jasta, who does guest vocals on a track on this album, as does Madball's singer and Danny Diablo.

The songs are for the most part fast, but occasionally Terror switch it up and go into a breakdown. If you're a fan of hardcore just for the breakdowns, you could probably skip this album, as Terror are more a fast paced-hardcore band than a band with heavy emphasis on breakdowns.

The lyrics are about being strong, taking no s*it and standing up for what you believe in. The guitars are grinding, downtuned and heavy as hell. The drums are just powerful. So if you're a fan of good ol' hardcore, pick this album up, as it satisfies for the most part, but near the end of the album it gets a bit tiring and starts to all sound alike, which is why I brought the rating down to 4. But other than that, Terror have made an album worthy of the hype and I'll be in the pit for 'em at Sounds of the Underground this year!

Terror, along with Ringworm, is making some of the angriest hardcore out these days but their
paths are starting to stray a bit. While the latest Ringworm "Justice Replaced By Revenge" is
faster and deadlier than anything they've even done, Terror has decided to shed a bit of their non-
stop attack in favor of bigger breakdowns and a slower, more menacing metallic growl. That's
not to say this isn't first and foremost a hardcore record. There are still plenty of fast paced cuts
here that would leave ordinary hardcore bands gasping for air but nothing that approaches the
sheer ferocity of their debut.

Instead they've managed to steer the focus of the songs into the breakdowns. While not as
complex or intricately timed as a lot of the metalcore acts out today, they never the less manage
to pulverize you with their simple brutality. My only gripe is they are a bit too simple, like they were
purposely going for a more stripped down sound. The songs here, while punishing in their own
right, are almost devoid of the double bass drums which frequented their last album. Seems like
a bit of a contradiction to go in a more metallic route but ditch one of the mainstays of the genre.
Personally I think a little more double bass would have made these songs even angrier but they
probably drew the ire of hardcore purists on their last record so they decided to tone it down this
record. Of course they probably still managed to disappoint them by busting out straight up metal
riffs like the centerpiece on "Spit My Rage" which would be comfortable on any Slayer record.

On the whole this is definitely a great record but if these guys continue to go down a more
breakdown heavy path they need to beef up the intensity in order to compete with the legions and
legions of metalcore bands whose stock and trade is the crushing breakdown. Otherwise they'll
go from a great hardcore band to a mediocre metalcore band.

(...)Every so called "hardcore" band you listed is nothing but metal, or metal-core (...). Anyway, this is real hardcore, even if you don't like the whole tough guy attitude these guys carry, the songs have a very positive feel( as do the lyrics, read between the lines people). It has the sing alongs, the breakdowns( for all you mosher kids) and the hooks to make up a very real hardcore release. If you get the chance, see them live, awsome show. Really nice guys too. A great album from a great bunch of guys who try( and succeed) to pay tribute to the bands before them, while paving a path for the new generation of hardcore.
