Terrorizer is a Death metal act. Their sound grew out of The Exploited, Slayer, Celtic Frost, Napalm Death and Master. Those roots explain a lot about how Terrorizer arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Extreme Noise Terror, Possessed, Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy and Malevolent Creation, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Mortician, Earache Records, Pungent Stench, Napalm Death and Carcass, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
