Terror Share New Single “Boundless Contempt”

Hardcore legends, Terror, recently announced their upcoming eighth full-length, Pain Into Power, is due out May 6th via Pure Noise Records. The album marks a full circle moment for Terror as they teamed with founding guitarist and current Nails mastermind, Todd Jones, who produced the new material. The result is twenty minutes of unrelenting hardcore fury that’s sure to turn heads with longtime fans and the uninitiated alike. Today the band have shared another taste of Power Into Pain with their new song, Boundless Contempt, that follows on from lead single Can’t Help But Hate. The track highlights Terror‘s unparalleled ability to flip from breakneck speed to an earthshaking breakdown down on a dime.

“This is the one song that every member of the band and Todd all had on their list of favorite tracks on the record. The driving speed of the first half of the song is completely unhinged. I remember when figuring out the breakdown, there was the idea of first having a guitar break bring in the ending and it sounded strong. Todd went and demoed it with bass instead which is a little different for Terror and we all instantly agreed that was the right choice. Much thanks to Ben Cook for being there with vocal oversight which now seems like a Terror staple.” (vocalist Scott Vogel)

For two decades Terror have been a constant presence in the world of hardcore. The long-running band have toured and released new music relentlessly, managing to keep up an unparalleled level of intensity. Now with Pain Into Power the band are drawing a line between their past and present. Where many bands would rest on their well-earned laurels, Terror pushes forward. Terror have also announced a lengthy run of US tour dates in support of Pain Into Power. The shows will include support from Kublai Khan, Sanguisugabogg and Pain of Truth.
