Terror 2000 is a Swedish thrash metal band from Helsingborg.
History
A side project of Soilwork singer Björn "Speed" Strid, the band also includes guitarists Klas Ideberg (of Darkane) and Nick Sword (of Von Benzo), drummer Erik Thyselius, and bassist Dan Svensson. The band was initially formed under the name "Killing Machine" in 1999, and its original drummer was Henry Ranta of Soilwork, but he was replaced after the release of Slaughterhouse Supremacy.
Critical reception
In a review of the band's album Terror for Sale, Decibel Magazine described the band's sound as "joke-rock" and stated that the album is "fun and rockin', but way too fun to really be all that rockin'".[2] AllMusic was also critical, awarding the album two-and-a-half stars out of five and expressing disappointment that the band's "indistinctive neo-thrash songwriting" did not live up to the promise of its lyrics and energy.[3]
