Terror doesn’t change, and the press has turned that into a pact: 75/100 across 4 reviews for Still Suffer, their first album on Flatspot. New Noise pulls a 9/10, Metal Hammer follows at 8/10 — « On brand and up-levelled just enough to keep us hungry, Terror have done it again » — while Blabbermouth (7/10) signs off on the machinery and Kerrang! (3/5) drags its feet. The public sits in the same lane: 74/100 across 178 votes.
What unites everyone: the execution. Blabbermouth describes a band that « continue to merge violent riffs and bouncy rhythms on every single track », alternating pit-friendly slow groove and manic thrash. Even Kerrang!, the least convinced, concedes the record helps « prove hardcore’s rude health in 2026 » and that these veterans remain « a formidable force ».
What divides: the formula, precisely. « You pretty much know what you’re going to get from a Terror album, » sighs Kerrang!, which also executes the voicemail-based bonus track, a « nugget of utter pointlessness ». What remains is the essential: twenty-four years of service, zero compromise, and a 7.5 that smells of pit sweat. You don’t ask a hammer to evolve.
