Reign of Terror was formed in the winter of 1997 by founding members, CJ Holguin and Marc "The Engine" Arredondo. Their goal was to play top-notch Satanic death metal. They rehearsed incessantly and in the following years took El Paso, and other parts of the world, by storm. Along the way Reign of Terror recorded two self financed CDs, "Traversing the Realms of Acheron" and "Inverted Beliefs of the Sanguine God" and played countless shows. Many along- side death metal legends such as Deicide, Malevolent Creation, Broken Hope, Monstrosity, Angelcorpse, Krisiun and Mortician.
In 2001 former Angelcorpse guitarist, Gene Palubicki took notice. He signed the band to his label Evil Vengeance Records and in 2002 released Reign of Terrors next album "Threnody of the Impaled". With this release Reign of Terrors reputation spread even more throughout the underground. A short tour of Texas in the summer of 2002 solidified the bands belief in their unholy mission.
Through all of this Reign of Terror has honed their sound, which can best be described as the perfect hybrid of pummeling velocity, cavern-dwelling doom, and neck-snapping thrash-death. 2003 saw the release of "Sword of Antichrist", a 5 song promo of new Reign of Terror material.
After turmoil within the band left Reign of Terror on ice for much of 2005, the band later regrouped, more focused than ever. Friend of the band, Andres from Internal Suffering, put in a good word at Goregiastic Records, and Reign of Terror were signed in spring '06. Although a first attempt at recording the new album proved not up to the band's standards, Reign of Terror are set to re-record the new longplayer at Krank Studio in the winter of 2007.
