Holy Terror

Thrash Metal Pioneers

Holy Terror was an American thrash metal band that emerged in the mid-1980s. Formed by vocalist Keith Deen and guitarist Kurt Colfelt (later known as Kurt Kilfelt) after Colfelt's departure from Agent Steel, the band was known for its intense speed and aggressive musical style. Holy Terror released two full-length albums that have since become cult classics within the thrash metal genre: "Terror and Submission" in 1987 and "Mind Wars" in 1988. These records showcased a blend of thrash metal with elements of speed metal, characterized by rapid guitar riffs, complex bass lines, and Deen's distinctive vocal delivery.
