Born from the ashes of Majesty in 1987, they broke up in early 1988, so the debut LP was recorded posthumously in '89, because Shane Embury (Napalm Death) worshiped old Terrorizer demos so much that he brainwashed the Earache boss. Jesse once remarked in an interview that Oscar had already forgotten half the songs... that's why there's no second guitar! Pete Sandoval was already working on Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness, so Oscar and Jesse went to Morris Sound to record in the same place; then David Vincent ended up filling in on bass because Garvey was in jail. The LP was recorded and mixed in 8 hours!

Terrorizer was one of the first bands that Metal producer Scott Burns got to work with, where the sound on this album would later be known as the "Death Metal production." Because of his work, he later went on as being a well-known Death Metal producer. Jesse and Pete decided to reform Terrorizer in 2005. They announced early 2006 that they signed to Century Media Records.

Jesse died in Holland in August 2006 allegedly from diabetes worsened by his rumored alcoholism, thus ending the reunion of Terrorizer. As of June 2nd, 2009, according to their Myspace website, the band is now active again and has been demoing songs for a possible new release. Resistant Culture guitarist Katina Culture is Jesse's replacement.
