TERROR SYNDROME Writing New Material

September 12, 2010

TERROR SYNDROME, the Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-based band featuring THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND members Ryan Van Poederooyen (drums),Dave Young (guitar) and Mike Young (bass),along with ANNIHILATOR frontman Dave Padden, has written two new songs for the group's forthcoming second album.

Commented Ryan Van Poederooyen, "I was practising and learning drums for the new THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT album and took a break from learning songs and finally decided to write two new TERROR SYNDROME songs for the next album.

"Dave Padden is a busy man with touring, Dave Young and I are busy as well with touring and recording with THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT.

"When will the new TERROR SYNDROME album will be recorded and released? I don't know, when time allows BUT it will happen.

"Our debut [self-titled] album has been released world-wide through iTunes and other online distributors for a while now and thanks to all of you who support the band and have purchased the album online. We've played a few rare shows, when time allowed.

"Trying to tour TERROR SYNDROME is very difficult with our commitments to THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT and ANNIHILATOR.

"This project was self-funded by yours truly from the beginning. We did look at label offers and such but nothing made sense. TERROR SYNDROME was either going all out with the right support from a label or it was going to be released as a side project for the listening pleasure of our fans. We did not want to settle with a deal that wouldn't get us in the right situation for touring and promoting the band.

"With the second record, things will be just as intense, brutal and catchy as the first album. You will also get to hear Dave Padden's influence on the band. It won't disappoint, trust me. As for live.... there WILL be more shows and touring could be a possibility if time and the right situation should arise. We WILL be back on stage. Mark my words!"

TERROR SYNDROME made its live debut on October 28, 2008 at the Tom Lee Music Hall in Vancouver as part of the Vancouver International Drum Festival presented by Tom Lee Music. A one-and-a-half-minute clip of the band's performance can be viewed below.

"Terror Syndrome" was mixed by Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD) and was mastered by Greg Reely (DEVILDRIVER, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, MISERY SIGNALS, FEAR FACTORY).

Guest musicians on TERROR SYNDROME's debut CD include Alex Skolnick (TESTAMENT),Trevor Dunn (MR. BUNGLE, FANTOMAS),Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND),Byron Stroud (FEAR FACTORY, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD) and Christofer Malmström (DARKANE).
