Téras by First To Be Culled

TÉRAS (noun): monster; omen, portent; from the Greek τέρας

The world is bleeding. No matter how desperately they may try to hide it, everyone carries a wound of some kind, and under the surface, they all long for healing... but what do you do when the wound is still actively being inflicted? You first stop the source of the wound.

One-man project FIRST TO BE CULLED presents its blueprint for furious, vicious deathcore with its debut EP, TÉRAS, all while lashing back against the injustices of the world. The seemingly infinite waves of intolerance, transphobia, homophobia, genocide- on full display with "HALLELUJAH"- racism, and more, translate into fantasy-inspired stories of defiance ("FEED ME") and community ("TÉRAS"), as the EP reclaims hate into a ferocious, untamed pride.

Building a powerful foundation for these stories, are songs written with a simple philosophy in mind: good metal can be headbanged to, but great metal will force you to. The tightly written, multi-layered arrangements shift gears at just the right time, mixing a stew of unstoppable grooves, technical flourishes, and pummelling breakdowns, all supporting a menagerie of visceral, cathartic roars.

They call us monsters because they fear us. Let them drown in that fear.
