Originally released in 1989, World Downfall is widely regarded as one of the most influential grindcore albums of all time. Hailing from Los Angeles, Terrorizer was one of the most extreme bands of a generation armed to the teeth with heavily distorted riffs, harsh vocals and scathing social commentary in the lyrics. The members went on to play in other household names in the extreme music scene such as Napalm Death, Morbid Angel and Nausea.
