Hardcore legends, Terror have released their new single, “Boundless Contempt” today. The track serves as another teaser of the band’s recently announced eighth full-length album, Pain Into Power, out May 6th via Pure Noise Records and follows lead single, “Can’t Help But Hate”. Listen to it now below.
Pain Into Power marks a full circle moment for Terror as they teamed with founding guitarist and current Nails mastermind, Todd Jones, who produced the new material. The result is 20 minutes of unrelenting hardcore fury that’s sure to turn heads with longtime fans and the uninitiated alike. Fans can pre-order the album HERE.
Vocalist Scott Vogel discussed writing the new track, saying, “This is the one song that every member of the band and Todd all had on their list of favorite tracks on the record. The driving speed of the first half of the song is completely unhinged. I remember when figuring out the breakdown, there was the idea of first having a guitar break bring in the ending and it sounded strong. Todd went and demoed it with bass instead which is a little different for Terror and we all instantly agreed that was the right choice. Much thanks to Ben Cook for being there with vocal oversight which now seems like a Terror staple.”
Terror have also announced a lengthy run of U.S. tour dates in support of Pain Into Power. The shows will include support from Kublai Khan, Sanguisugabogg, and Pain of Truth. All tour dates are listed below.
