No that�s a correct observation. It actually started out as a spoof name when the guys (Johan,

Stefan and Michael) started the band. But as time went by the name stuck with us and now

we really can�t change. I guess it relates to our music in a way. Our songs tend to tread on

unknown, scary territory. A Terrortory if you will.

Tough question. There is a huge number of great bands born here in Sweden. We all listen

to bands like Opeth, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, At the Gates, Entombed (the list goes on,

and on...) so I guess that our �sound� originates from them. Now I�m not saying that we

intentionally try to emulate them, but I definitely think you can hear that we are a band from

Sweden.

The story is that there were a couple of guys, in their late teens, in Skellefte� Sweden who met

at a local concert, started talking, became friends and then started a band. Classic but true. I

(Olov the bass player) joined four years later in 2004. I met Johan on the street. We knew of

each other through mutual friends. He asked me if I could do a gig with them that summer. I

jumped to the chance and obviously made a good impression because they later asked me if I�d

like to join them full time.

We write the majority of our songs together when we rehearse. But I would have to say that

Johan (vocals) Stefan (guitar) and Michael (guitar until 2009) came up with most of the riffs. We

jam out different ideas and those we like, we keep. I don�t really know why we tend to do the

proggier stuff. I guess it is because we all like to play those type of things. Also it is a lot more

fun to play when something unexpected happens. When the song takes a turn you don�t see

coming.

All the lyrics are written by Johan and his warped mind.

We had been talking for a long time to go into the studio and record a couple of our songs.

When we finally got around to it, and found a gap in all of our calendars, we just went for it. We

had like six or seven days to record the whole thing, so there wasn�t much time for monkeying

around. We wanted the sound to be heavy but still crisp. It took some time, fiddling around on

the amps and in Cubase, but we got a pretty heavy sound in the end. We had a great time with

lots of laughs and late nights. Can�t wait to do it again!

We just write and play stuff that we would like to listen to ourselves and hopefully others will

enjoy it to.

Being a band from the northern part of Sweden, with short summers and really long and dark

and cold winters, it only feels natural to incorporate some �black� feelings in our music. Plus we

all love the �epicness� and pace of black metal.

We are a band that always gives 110% on stage. We want the audience to hear the music as it is

on the album when we play live. Our focus lies on playing as good as we can all the time, every

time. If you come to a Terrortory-gig you can expect a good sounding, well played, loud and

headbanging show.

We are going to do a couple of gigs this fall and we are planning to get together this summer

and start writing some new stuff. That ain't the easiest thing to do. We all live in different parts

of Sweden and have regular jobs to maintain. But this summer we�ll start writing some new

epic, heavy songs.

Lately I�ve been listening a lot to Bloodbaths �The Fantomless Mastery�. I think that is one of

the best death metal albums out there, if not the best. I might get in trouble with the other

guys for this, but I think it�s true. Also, the latest In Mourning album. Damn that�s good. And of

course �Koloss�! Meshuggah at it�s best!

Just keep playing! Find a quick and easy way to record your ideas so that you remember them

later on. When you�ve got enough riffs and want put together a band. Be sure to make sure

that the people you are playing with are on the same level as you and that you really klick with

them.

Max Restaurant in Skellefte�. If you ever get the chance to visit this fine establishment, be sure
