Commented frontman Scott Vogel: "This is the record we put everything we have into, from the music to the lyrics, the layout to the title and to the direct hand-to-hand street marketing approach, we are putting it all on the line. We took all the rules of what's going on in the industry today and washed them from our minds. We wanted to capture those early days of hardcore. This is the record we were destined to make. This is TERROR at its best and I'm so excited to get this out and start touring surrounding its energy and passion."

TERROR's "Stick Tight" video can be viewed below. The performance-based clip was shot at the Sound and Fury Festival by renowned director Eric Thompson of Pushonestop Productions.
