Terrortory is the fifth studio album from the Detroit-based heavy metal band Halloween. It was released in February 2012.
Most of the songs on Terrortory were written around the same time as the songs from the group's previous studio album Horror Fire . However, a few tracks are older. The songs "Not One", "Say Your Prayers", and "Images Quite Horrible" were written in 1990–1991, and "Caught In The Webs" was written in 1983 before the band's debut, Don't Metal With Evil . The song titled "Darkside, Inside" was originally recorded for the 2003 compilation Tricks, Treats And Other Tales From The Crypt . [6] [7] The song titled "Where's Michael?" was originally written for Rob Zombie's Halloween movie, but it did not make it on to the soundtrack. [8]

Best known for the singles "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", "Burnin' for You", and "Godzilla", the band has sold 25 million records worldwide, including 7 million in the United States alone. The band's fusion of hard rock and psychedelia with occult, fantastical and often tongue-in-cheek lyrics had a major influence on heavy metal music.

Their best-known songs include "Thunder Kiss '65", "Black Sunshine" and "More Human than Human". The group officially disbanded in 1998. In 2000, White Zombie was included on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock, ranking at No. 56.

Like much of Godflesh's music, it is regarded as particularly heavy and aggressive, and these elements helped it gain critical acclaim.
