Terror announce new album, release single

Terror have announced their seventh full length. It's called Total Retaliation and will be out September 28 via Pure Noise Records. The album was produced by Will Putney and runs about 30 minutes. In a release, vocalist Scott Vogel said, "I'm happy that after 16 years, we still have the urgency and aggression , and our youthful spirit is still kicking. Everything — from the lyrics to the riffs to the overall energy — on this album feels right. People that have heard the record keep telling me it's the terror record they have been wanting for, and it's our best in a while, so I'm super exited for this thing to come out in late September and we have a great team releasing this."
