The new TERROR album Always The Hard Way is available now on CD for around 퉌£10.99 from HMV, Virgin, FOPP, Music Zone and your local ‘Roadrage’ store. The band is currently enjoying a run on the Sounds of the Underground tour in the US, alongside In Flames, Trivium, and As I Lay Dying. Of the new album pandemonium, vocalist Scott Vogel says í¢ä‰åñThe album turned out exactly how we wanted in terms of songwriting, recording, layout, and lyrics. We are completely satisfied, because although we are still Terror, and we are always going to be Terror, we’ve taken it everything to the next level. While we aren’t looking to reinvent, we just decided to play how we wanted to, and the final product is the most aggressive, fastest, hardest, heaviest thing we have ever done.í¢ä‰åŒ Terror recorded Always the Hard Way, the follow-up to the successful One With the Underdogs (2004), with mega-producer Zuess (Throwdown, Hatebreed). The L.A. group packed the album with ragged metal-tinged guitars, rapid fire drum lines, slithering bass lines and trademark double-fisted vocal attacks that they are known for. Kerrang states Terror’s intensity concisely: í¢ä‰åñPutting the hard back in hardcore.í¢ä‰åŒ The new album, recorded during an ice storm, has a slew of amazing guest vocalists who braved the ice to appear. Eddie Sutton from Leeway, Aaron from Death Threat and even hip hop greats emcee Murs and Mr Dibbs (Atmosphere’s DJ) add their talents to the release.

Here are what a few people tthough about the album. “The NYD were the Frankenstein’s (both doctor and monster) of rock’n’roll history, the coolest and most under-rated zombies in the legion of the living dead. This album more than justifies their triumphant resurrection. 9/10” – ROCKSOUND “The first band I ever worked with, at Mercury records in 1972, has a brand new record í¢ä‰åäóì in 2006! í¢ä‰åäóì and it kicks ass. Excuse me while I kiss the sky.”**** – UNCUT “It’s the kind of rollicking, party-rockin’ fandango which, genuinely, nobody has the spirit or wit to put together these days. Primal Scream’s latest, for one, rings hollow and heartless by comparison. Memories, be damned – One Day it Will Please us to Remember Even This feels just great in the here and now. *****” – OBSERVER CLICK HERE to read more reviews. CLICK HERE to view the ecard.
