Terror have triumphantly returned with their much anticipated new full-length offering, The Damned, The Shamed, which is set for a June 10th release. This vicious slab of brutality was produced by the renowned Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall) and is sure to please the band’s diehard fanbase, while garnering a new legion of young maniacal supporters. The vicious new track, “Relentless Through and Through,” is now streaming on the band’s revamped MySpace page, so head on over now to check it out.

Scott Vogel further states: “We’ve just returned home from a very successful run on as part of the Firestorm Fest. It was really cool to see Earth Crisis after all this time. They were definitely a band that taught me a lot and one that I really loved for a period of my youth. The shows were really good, all the bands were cool and we got to tour with Sworn Enemy and Down To Nothing for the first time, which was fucking great.

“We are now preparing for the upcoming European tour with Ignite, Strung Out and Death Before Dishonor. This package is so strong and I bet all of the shows will be fucking insane. We then head to Russia for the first time after that and I can’t wait. Then it’s off to South America for the 4th time and we will be hitting more countries on this run then any other previous hardcore tour. That’s what keeps us going, reaching new places and expanding further and further.

“The new record is also now complete and we are super happy with the results. There are some things on there that will catch people off guard, but it is and will always be Terror, so fear not. We are just taking everything to the next level. We are very excited to have a new label and booking agent onboard for a fresh start and new ideas. We look forward to seeing you all soon.”

Terror’s melding of no-frills breakneck hardcore and the fervor of new generation metal bridges the gap between young and old, and it makes for one hell of a pit no matter what city or stage the band leaves in ruin.

Rest assured that, The Damned, The Shamed is the definitive hardcore album of 2008.
