TERROR Frontman Discusses Hardcore Scene: Video Available

August 19, 2006

TERROR vocalist Scott Vogel recently spoke to Blender.com about the hardcore scene, crowd participation at the band's shows and some things to keep in mind in the pit. Watch the two-minute video clip at this location.

TERROR is about to hit the hard road for a six-day run opening for the legendary GORILLA BISCUITS. Vogel comments: "I haven't seen them since around 1990, but I think 'Start Today' is still one of the best records ever made. I'm skeptical of all these reunion tours and I've seen a lot of bands ruin their legacies by coming back, but from what I hear, GORILLA BISCUITS are doing amazing and they really have their hearts in it." Immediately following that tour, TERROR will play a handful of shows with ANIMOSITY and NERVOUS BREAKDOWN before joining up with UNEARTH and BLEEDING THROUGH for the rest of September. "This will be our third tour with UNEARTH," says Vogel. "We think they rule on stage and as people. We've also been waiting to tour with BLEEDING THROUGH for a long time and look forward to it."

Later this week, the band plans to finish up some last-minute live shots for their recently filmed video for the song "Lost" off the new album. Directed by Doug Spangenberg (LAMB OF GOD, UNEARTH),the clip follows the concept of the song, which deals with finding one’s identity in the music that TERROR so powerfully delivers. "It's saying that I think a lot of people that are into heavy music and real loud music don't really fit in with a lot of people," explains Vogel. "We shot part of it in the basement of a warehouse without any crowd and there's a concept part of it as well. It's about someone who can't fit in so they find music and the people they find through music become their family."

Hip hop commanders JEDI MIND TRICKS recently enlisted the talents of Vogel and guitarist Martin Stewart in collaboration for the song "Heavy Metal Kings", to appear on the next JMT album, coming out this fall. After being approached by JMT to come into the studio with them and record the song, Vogel, who is a huge hip hop supporter, says, "I was blown away by their knowledge of hardcore. They knew things that I thought only people who were really into hardcore would know."
