About:
The terrifically titled Terrifier brings their thrash metal
apocalypse straight outta Vancouver
BC. As the Metal God himself Rob
Halford memorably sang: ‘fast and furious/we ride the universe’, that very much
sums up Terrifier’s dedication to the glory of thrash!
Originally known as Skullhammer, Terrifier released their
debut album ‘Destroyers of the Faith’ back in 2011, so this is no
flash-in-the-pan thrash band!
Incorporating jackhammer drums, bulldozing bass-lines, a
twin-lead attack that leaves posers pulped in it’s wake, and vocals that can
level mountains, Terrifier’s motto could well be ‘thrashing is our business…and
business is good’
Terrifier take what has gone before, the old gods,
Metallica, Slayer, and use them to birth new sounds, the old gods are eternal
but hail the new gods too!
Vocalist, bassist and founder member Chase Thibodeau
explains Terrifier’s reason for being. ‘We formed this band because we love
thrash and play what we think sounds cool…our music is fast, technical, heavy
and melodic and shredding.’ Indeed, this is a band that truly puts the shred
inside your head!
It’s their inspirations that drive them to create such
perspiration-inducing music as Chase explains: ‘Adrenaline, speed and
aggression….that’s the feeling we want to put into people….We started steering
more towards an aggressive thrash sound…even being influenced by death metal!’
Their new release ‘Weapons of Thrash Destruction’ features
such soon to be classics as ‘Bestial Tyranny’, ‘Skitzoid Embolism’ and ‘Nuclear
Demolisher’ and ‘Sect of the Serpent’, a song inspired by Conan the Barbarian
as Chase says ‘the idea was to trample the weak and hurdle the dead on this
one!’
Chase sums up Terrifier’s new music: ‘We think people will
enjoy this album and use our music to get pumped up for whatever life throws at
them. It would be our honour to inspire others into thrash metal…the world needs
more thrash!’
Terrifier’s new album ‘Weapons of Thrash Destruction’ is
slated for release in January 2017 via Test Your Metal Records.
