Terror 2000

Biography

Terror 2000 is a Swedish thrash metal band from Helsingborg.

History

A side project of Soilwork singer Björn "Speed" Strid, the band includes guitarists Klas Ideberg of Darkane and Nick Sword of Von Benzo, drummer Erik Thyselius, and bassist Dan Svensson. The band was formed as "Killing Machine" in 1999. Original drummer Henry Ranta of Soilwork was replaced after the release of Slaughterhouse Supremacy.

Critical reception

In a review of the band's album Terror for Sale, Decibel Magazine described the band's sound as "joke-rock" and stated that the album is "fun and rockin', but way too fun to really be all that rockin'". AllMusic was also critical, awarding the album two-and-a-half stars out of five and expressing disappointment that the band's "indistinctive neo-thrash songwriting" did not live up to the promise of its lyrics and energy.
