Terror Garden is an American hard rock/heavy metal band from Long Island, NY, citing influences ranging from 1970's classic hard rock to today's modern metal scene. Paul Terror and Gee have been present since its inception in 2010.
After several bassist changes to solidify the lineup, the band independently released their 9-song debut album, 'Specimen Cup', on October 12th, 2015. Produced & recorded by the band’s very own Tony Cianciotto, the disc contained all of the group’s composed material since the beginning (including songs co-written by former bassists Butch Quinones and Scott Siebert).
In September 2016, Terror Garden was featured on Verizon Fios1's 'Rising Stars' special promo. Only a few months later, in February 2017, second guitarist Mike de Gruchy was added to the lineup to round out a more permanent 5-piece formation.
With a year of writing as a 5-piece under their belts, the sophomore effort 'Karma & Chaos' was released on May 25th, 2018. Three of the 8 songs were re-recordings from the 'Specimen Cup' album: 'Deep', 'Out Of My Head' and 'Shut Up & Buy Me A Drink'. Produced by Terror Garden and Peter R. Pizzo Jr. (Crescent Sound Studios, Farmingdale, NY), it has received critical acclaim amongst their peers and across the Long Island music scene.
Most of 2019 was spent touring in support of 'Karma & Chaos' and composing new original material. Studio sessions commenced in November 2019 throughout April 2020. During this timeframe, shortly after recording their respective tracks, both Tony Cianciotto and Johnny Wildchild departed the group. Wild Bill Sherman officially replaced Tony Cianciotto on bass in June 2020.
The band's 3rd offering, 'Keep It Real', was finally released on September 6th, 2020. Similar to the preceding album, it was produced by Peter R. Pizzo Jr., including 7 brand new originals and a bonus track cover of Golden Earring’s “Twilight Zone” (physical CD version only). The band stayed with Mike de Gruchy as the sole guitarist to start the album’s touring cycle.
Finally, in April 2021, Brian White officially became the newest member, returning Terror Garden to a twin-guitar formation again. The quintet used the next year and a half to tour throughout the tri-state area, all while simultaneously writing/recording a 4th album. With a combined production effort of Peter R. Pizzo Jr. (Crescent Sound Studios) and ex-guitarist Billy Pfister (Westfall Recording Company), the 9-song 'Psychotic Disorderly Magick' offering went worldwide on June 4th, 2023.
In September 2023, Brian White stepped down, due to personal reasons and scheduling conflicts. Two months later, Ed Pallotta was selected as his replacement. Extensive touring for the album carried into the end of 2024. In the summer of 2025, the band entered Westfall Recording Company studios to begin tracking their 6-song self-titled EP. It was released worldwide on January 10th, 2026, accompanied by the band’s first ever official music video (lead single & opening track “Supermodel Virus”).
Sixteen years and counting on the scene, Terror Garden has established themselves as one of the premiere hard rock/heavy metal artists on the rise to watch. Follow all the band's social media outlets for the latest updates.
