Great band. I first heard Holy Terror on one of the old Speed Kills comps. The track was NO RESURRECTION and I can safely say it ripped onen a hole in the space time continuum and blew my head clean off. Really vicious stuff. I just recovered and then BATHORY "FOR ALL THOSE WHO DIED" came on and just crushed me to pulp like the snivelling 14 year old I was!

I'm pretty much reiterating what a lot of posters in this thread have said, but this band is fucking GODLY to me. "Mind Wars" is where it's at. I love the first one too, but "Mind Wars" just goes so far beyond that. What an unbelievably awesome record.

Didn't someone say that a former vocalist of Holy Terror was living on the streets once?

That turned out to be a false rumor, I think. Their website says that he's doing well.

Wow, funny....just saw this thread for the first time, and I had Debt Of Pain going at the same time! Fucking CLASSIC tune!

Holy Terror were, in my opinion, a VERY unique thrash band. The vocals were melodic yet biting, went from mid-range snarl to high-pitched screams seamlessly, the music for some reason always made me think that it was what Iron Maiden would sound like if they played thrash. Melodic, yet fast, but still aggressive, and always catchy. Undeniably thrash, but able to combine any and all the best aspects of heavy metal.

Sucks to hear that Keith's life went down the crapper. Wasted talent, big time. I don't think I've heard another vocalist that could spit out lyrics rapid-fire like he could, but still be understandable.

Great band. Personally I prefer the great hooks on TaS to the OTT speed of MW

Listened to (and made my neighbours too) listen to Terror And Submission last night. Incredible album, so unique and heavy.

"Venomous conquest darkens the world
Trails of lifeless carnage left behind
And in the end, you pay the price with your soul "

YES!

And a question: I noticed from metal-archives that UK version (which I have) has songs in different order and a different mix compared to US version. So, is there a big difference between UK and US mix?

A reunion only makes sense with Deen and Kilfelt. With them on board it will be beyond great. But I don't want a new album; just those 2 records live.
Long Live The Loud !!!
