i probably said it before and still my interest in new hardcore stuff is, let's say limited. i don't care much for new albums of old bands and even less for new albums of new bands. usually the only thing that awakens my interest are re-pressings of old stuff which i still need for the collection. same problem with the latest terror record. to me their fifth full length "keepers of the faith was their musical climax. the successors "live by the code" and "the twenty fifth hour" are good blasts of hardcore but couldn't come close and thus didn't get much play time on my turntable in the past.
so when their 2018 record "total retaliation" was announced and ready for pre-order, i shrugged my shoulders and moved on. fast forward a few months and i was in search for a tape of an album i will write about in the next post. the best way for to get it with reasonable shipping costs, was to use the rev hq service from coretex records from berlin and order stuff from the revelation webshop through this fine record store.
browsing through the tape section of rev, i came across the cassette version of terror's new album. the price was the half of the vinyl version and so i thought it was a good idea to add it to the order. i don't regret that move at all. "total retaliation" is another proof that old hardcore dudes don't lose a bit of their fury with advancing age. we'll see if it stands the test of time and gets more air time than the last two records. i read somewhere this version is limited to 100 copies but i am not sure about that. pure noise records. 2018.
