Terror are an American hardcore band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2002. Known for their relentless energy, crushing riffs, and uncompromising approach to hardcore, the band have become one of the most influential groups in modern hardcore through their powerful live shows, consistent output, and dedication to the scene.

Their music focuses on themes of loyalty, perseverance, personal struggles, and the strength found within the hardcore community, earning them a devoted following across generations.
Terror's sound is rooted in New York Hardcore and metallic hardcore, combining punishing guitar riffs, powerful breakdowns, gang vocals, and relentless rhythms. While influenced by the classic hardcore bands that came before them, they have developed a signature style built around intensity, honesty, and a strong connection with their audience.
Through decades of touring and a commitment to the DIY values of hardcore, Terror have helped keep the spirit of the genre alive while inspiring countless newer bands.
