TERRORIZER: New Demo Track Posted Online
June 3, 2009A new demo recording — "Hordes Of Zombies" — from American grindcore pioneers TERRORIZER is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. The track marks the group's first recording since the passing of guitarist Jesse Pintado.
Pintado, a founding member and guitarist of TERRORIZER, died at Holland's Erasmus MC hospital on August 27, 2006 due to liver failure, only less than a week after the release of TERRORIZER's long-awaited second album "Darker Days Ahead". His death effectively put TERRORIZER's future in question.
With an aggression and ferocity until then unheard, TERRORIZER took the scene by storm with the 1989 release of its highly acclaimed and genre-defining debut album, "World Downfall" (Earache Records). The LP established the band as a cult institution, and the musicians went on to concentrate on their future main outfits: Pete Sandoval (drums) with MORBID ANGEL and Jesse Pintado with NAPALM DEATH.
With "World Downfall", TERRORIZER created the "Reign In Blood" of grindcore, inspiring a generation of bands, their popularity never waning through these intervening years. The massive amount of available bootleg recordings and band merchandise, as well as rumors of a follow-up album, kept the TERRORIZER name alive.
