THE NIGHT TERRORS LOGO SHIRT (GUYS/GIRLS) *NEW!*



Melbourne theremin-led instrumentalists The Night Terrors celebrate the launch of their brand new (and debut full-length) album "Back To Zero".
Spawned from the festering miasma of the Melbourne underground scene, The Night Terrors' theremin-fueled electro-noise has been petrifying punters since the year 2000. The Terrors' formula of soaring theremin, thunderous metal-bass, breakneck drumming and vintage horror synth has earnt them a reputation as one of Australia's most unusual and original bands.
Recorded with Nao Anzai (Laura, Because of Ghosts, Sinking Citizenship, City City City), Back To Zero is 60 minutes of spaced-out synthesiser rock ranging from haunting synthscapes to flat-out analogue noise.

"Exo Records is good records. Night Terrors music is good music. TNT has a serious Goblin-vibe happening here. They could easily score a horror film set in American Apparel. I could picture tram-loads of Gentlewomen with the same body shape, clothes, opinions and haircuts walking around the racks in a zombie like state, just tripping on all the offensive colours and price tags. 10/10"
VICE Magazine



"Post rock in Melbourne died so synthetic, 'cosmic' rock might live, and at the gallows' helm were The Night Terrors, who, after almost ten years of perfecting their dark arts release their debut album on Exo Records this week. Fronted by towering theremin maestro Miles Brown, this trio does nightmarish, speculative Prog better than anyone and is impossible not to be rocked by."
Three Thousand



"If you want to play in a rock band without a singer you need musical ideas with the strength to carry the music. The night terrors have got it in spadestracks from the new album "Back to Zero" are crammed with epic melodies, cinematic textures and and the even odd moment of sunshine. A truly original sound. I bought the album."
AIR Charts



"I put the CD on when I get home and when it reaches its conclusion, get up and press play again. It's fucking phenomenal. Like the sound track to a video game made in the eighties but set in the future. A game of not just linear laser battles of light ships, but an involved personal account of the struggles endured by a character in just such a setting. A veritable space opera covering love, loss and thrilling light speed chase sequences that is exciting as well as all-enthralling. Don't listen to this CD unless you have the time to sit down, absorb and fully enjoy it. The Night Terrors are my new favourite band. Back to Zero is my new favourite CD."
Beat Magazine



"The Night Terrors' debut full-length album Back To Zero introduces itself somewhat similarly to one of Goblin's soundtrack releases or Jean Michel Jarre's original Oxygéne record. Within seconds the listener is transported to a world created entirely by the Melbourne band's synth, drum, bass and theremin combination – a place where wolves fly rocket ships protecting helpless planet folk from intergalactic volcanic eruptions (or any arrangement of associated descriptors).The Night Terrors' Back To Zero is a singularly impressive 66-minute album that should prove to be a success with any audience across the globe. 5/5"
Time Off (AUS)



"This revelation in sound gives me a hint of the better angles of 70's progressive rock - more King Crimson than Yes - but then there's a distinctive grungey bass floating about as well, and an 80's keyboard sound. The most striking feature though is the placing of the marvelous sounds of the theremin in this band, where low and behold, it's not just a trick but actually played with genuine skill, treating this gorgeous tool as an actual instrument rather than the novelty it so often is cheapened into being."
Togatus Magazine



"Melbourne synth-core three piece The Night Terrors specialise in rumbling, energetic, rhythm driven instrumentals. Lightless, their second album offers six moodscapes which at their best, attain a kind of soundtrack-esque granduer. Along with bass, drums and synths, their unique sound is achieved by prominent use of the theremin The Night Terrors theremin maestro Miles Brown uses the instrument's trippy hum to put his band ahead of the game. He keeps the music in orbit, but has the good taste not to overdo it."
Last Magazine



"One drummer, one bass player and a synthesizer player and programmer with a penchant for retro sounds, that's The Night Terrors, an instrumental trio from Melbourne who have enough punk aesthetic to keep things under control and not to allow things to tip over into Emerson Lake & Palmer prog rock grandiosity, though perhaps, just perhaps, underneath the lo-fi approach, there lurks three hearts beating as one proggie."
Drum Media
"Seeking to form a point of departure from the rock-by-numbers school of musical intellectualism purveyed by the likes of Trans-Am, Tortoise and June of 44, Tasmanian via Melbourne trio The Night Terrors have delivered an eponymous debut that's really more prog than post. Space out electronica makes itself comfortable alongside dexterous math-rock exactitude via the tidy combination of synth-driven atmospherics and a rhythm section that thunders like an industrial machine. Ballsey yet transcendental, it's a fusion of percussive rock-thuggery with instrumental academics that declares itself unignorable."
