Terror Management Band
Local alternative rock band fuses noise rock with southern gothic themes.
Terror Management Band is a daring amalgamation of noise rock and southern gothic tropes. Their lyrics explore themes popularized by writers such as William Faulkner and Cormac McCarthy, including the decay of society, existentialism, paranoia, and the depth of the human psyche. Mixed with the visceral intensity of noise rock, these explorations of the darker sides of American life create an alluring dichotomy of music and chaos.
Terror Management Band embraces the disharmony of noise in music as creative expression. Their vocalist oscillates between clarity and chaos, complimenting the band's thought-provoking narratives and discordant sound, creating an auditory experience that challenges convention. Through walls of noise and lyrics, a punchy drive, and experimental compositions, the band shares raw emotion and deep introspection with the audience.
Those familiar with Amphetamine Reptile Records (AmRep) and side two of Black Flag's My War will find familiarity in Terror Management Band's musical journey through the human experience.
