Holy Terror movement 'to branch out into ska'

Holy Terror has long been associated with metallic, heavy, crushing hardcore – but in an effort to draw in a wider audience, a sea change is in the air. Movement founder and Integrity vocalist Dwid Hellion explains: “Holy Terror has been using heavy music to endorse and celebrate the destruction of all humanity for many years now – but we feel the time has come to broaden our appeal musically. If we want to draw in enough fans to guarantee the destruction of all flesh in an orgiastic apocalypse, we need to take a bold new direction. We feel that the milquetoast bounce of ska and ska punk is the right medium to do this. A lot of these kids are put off by the aggressive nature of HT and the people involved. We need a friendlier face to draw in the nerds.” Some Holy Terror fans seem nervous at the prospect – review site aversiononline.com was quoted as saying: “This is a mistake. I mean, can you see Mike Cheese from Gehenna in a pork pie hat and a skinny tie? We say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”. Dwid seeks to reassure: “Integrity for one will still be releasing music in keeping with our heritage, instead we will be encouraging other members of the fold to try something new. Rot in Hell’s new record is going to surprise a LOT of people.”. He concluded: “Pickitup!”.
