It's been hectic for Terror these last few years. From nothing to one of the biggest hardcore bands around with their debut 'Lowest of the low' and their follow-up 'one with the underdogs' got the band wordwide attention from hardcore and metal fans. Of course Terror is one of the best live bands around and Scott Vogel is a frontman like we haven't seen for a while... I think Don Foose was the last one that was in the same league. 'Always the hard way' sounds exactly like I thought it would sound. All the songs could've been on 'One with the underdogs' and vice versa. Nothing fancy...just brutal as fuck!

I swear I would knock down the biggest, meanest dude after hearing songs like 'All for revenge', 'Always the hard way', 'Last of the diehards' and 'Smash through you'. Cool guestvocals of Aaron Death threat on 'You can't break me' and Eddie Leeway on 'Close to defeat'.

If you want to release some of that build up tension and go berserk, this is the stuff you need to get...if you're not familiar with Terror's sound...think of a mix of madball and hatebreed...and if you don't know these bands, go fuck yourself ;).

'Always the hard way' is a bulldozer, it doesn't come as a suprise, but it still tears down everything!

Score: 85/100
