The band MORTAL TERROR was founded in 1986. Now active for nearly (unbelievable!) 30 years, this band has been going through quite some ups and downs but still continues to write it's own little chapter in the big book of underground metal history. And if you ask yourself why such old bastards still refuse to disappear the answer is plain and simple:  It's for the next Show, the next song, the next rehearsal, the next album – it's at least for the love and passion for metal and our music.
The current line-up consists besides the original members stefan kunth (lead voc.) and dirk wieland (g./voc.) out of jürgen grauer (dr.), gerret geilich (b.) matthias keyser (g.).
By the release of several demo tapes and steady live appearances (with partly long gone glorious bands such as despair, s.d.i., tankard, toxin, atrocity, disharmonic orchestra, eternal dirge, postmortem, assorted heap, crack up and many more) MORTAL TERROR could achieve a good reputation as an energetic thrash metal outfit and a strong live act, enjoying some kind of cult-status first of all in their home area, where MORTAL TERROR can be seen along with Bands such as Reaper or Toxin as the “fathers” of the local Metal Scene, who inspired lots of younger musisicians und bands.
According to this MORTAL TERROR signed to german d&s records in 1993 and released the albums „The Evolving Self“ (1994) and „Posthuman“ (1996) which proved a massive musical development and added some death metal influences to the classic 80’s Thrash Metal Roots which shaped the sound of MORTAL TERROR from the very beginning.
Although both albums remarked further steps in the evolution of MORTAL TERROR and became looked for rarities nowadays, the hard work couldn´t pay off because of the  limited possibilities of d+s records, who finally dissapeared shortly after the release of „Posthuman“.
The time after finishing the chapter d+s the band went through some personal changes and it took some time of reorientation to get MORTAL TERROR on track again. In 1998 a new stable line up was finally found with gerret geilich (b) and maik tändler (d). This results in the 1998 demo-cd „A Strange Harvest“ which shows as well as it´s follow-up „Graveyard Anthems for unhappy Teenagers“ (meanwhile with jürgen on drums) that MORTAL TERROR had still something to prove and got lot of positve resonance by the fans and press as well. 
After original guitar player Jens Hertig has left the Band in 1999 old friend Mathias Keyser (ex-Miscarriage, Mis.Divine) completed MORTAL TERROR in 2003 back to the original 5-piece strength. This results in the remarkable 2004 self released Album „We Set Your Thoughts on Fire“ which shows a fresh and aggressive band. The music became more rough, straight, the songwiriting got more focussed and creates some kind of raw and rebellious atmosphere, that reminded some even of long gone glorious days. German online mag powermetal.de stated: “This is almost as if “Kill em all” has been recorded again.”
Another 6 years later MORTAL TERROR released “We are the Damned”, which is first of all proving the musical progression of the “new” line-up but may be just a step towards the things, which are now to come.
The new 2015 recordings, destined to be released as the new MORTAL TERROR Album “Creating Destruction”, may take everything far beyond the former releases. Coming with a more rough, true and authentic Sound the music is clearly ans basically rooted in Old-School-Thrash Metal but also spiced with a shot of classic death metal darkness and the rock’n’rollish kick-ass-attitude of the later releases and may combine the best of Mortal Terror's past and present to a truly explosive mixture and contains finally the first ever studio recording of the bands hymn “Mortal Terror”, which is the first song ever written by MORTAL TERROR back in 1986!
At least every Song on “Creating Destruction” feels as fresh and exciting as if it was 1986 again – be prepared!
