Teraset, a death metal ensemble from Auckland and Waikato, is known for their head-crushing performances that blend the raw intensity of Old School Death with modern grooves. Inspiration from Death Metal icons and British grindcore trailblazers result in Teraset's unique sound that enthralls fans of diverse metal subgenres.
