Lauded by the likes of GRENDEL, NACHTMAHR, SOMAN and REAPER on its release, Spanish duo Terrolokaust’s 2011 album for DWA “God Loves The Violence” justifiably generated rave reviews and catapulted the band to prominence in the electro-industrial scene.
A quantum-leap in songwriting and production compared to the band’s 2006 indie debut “Gas”, “God Loves The Violence” was built on simple, powerful programming, topped with expressive and versatile vocals – an album of melodic beauty and passion containing a rich variety of sounds, and one made with an obvious appreciation of both electronica and alternative rock.
Subsequently sublicensed in its basic version to Infacted for the EU, the album received a 2CD special edition from DWA, while the band signed to concert booking agency Neuwerk and maintained a high public profile playing shows like Wave Gotik Treffen, Summer Darkness, Vampire Party Live and Revolution in Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, The UK, Greece and Spain alongside acts like COMBICHRIST, NACHTMAHR, AESTHETIC PERFECTION, GRENDEL, MODULATE, SOMAN, FADERHEAD and STRAFTANZ.
“God Loves The Violence” was launched with the still-evergreen club classic single “No Control”, followed later (on DWA only) by the equally catchy “Your F**king Drugs” on CD. The album also included a cover of Ministry’s “Just One Fix” which the band shot as their first promo video.
2013’s follow-up “Spit The Poison Out” again boasted jaw-dropping production-quality and songwriting skill easily on the same level as major label acts, as TERROLOKAUST once more walked the line between rock and electro with an assurance and accomplishment that others can only dare to dream of successfully carrying off – producing another epic masterpiece totally unlike the majority of music currently marketed as “industrial”.
Equally at home singing and writing exquisitely anguished lyrics in English or their native Spanish, as effortlessly in control of their own material like the stomping single “The Way It Must Be” or covering Korn’s “Falling Away From Me” and making it their own, Terrolokaust have become past masters at rocking out and bringing both the bass and beats.
“Spit The Poison Out” spent 8 consecutive weeks in the Top Ten of the Deutsche Alternative Charts, peaking at #3, and was the band’s first US release – sublicensed to Vendetta. The album also led to the band’s first vinyl releases in the shape of 2 further singles “The Way It Must Be” and “Scars That Never Heal”, released by DWA on 7″ and 12″ formats respectively, and a second promo video – for “The Way It Must Be”.
Slowly but surely, Terrolokaust started to become a fixture on the German festival circuit, and DWA arranged a first major European tour for the band – spending 3 weeks on the road opening for AESTHETIC PERFECTION/FADERHEAD. Guitarist Aury increasingly became integral to the live presentation, joined even for some shows by a live drummer.
In May 2015, shortly before shows in Spain with S.I.T.D. and a return to the main stage of Wave Gotik Treffen alongside COMBICHRIST, NACHTMAHR and FIXMER/MCCARTHY, Terrolokaust announced online that the title and front cover artwork for a new album had been finalised with DWA – being readied for release later this year…
