2000-2001
Terrordrome was formed by Sakis Chatzitakis (guitars) and Stelios Papadopoulos (drums) at the fall of the year 2000. Until October 2001 Terrordrome’s first official release named “Intravenous Multiplication” (2002 MCD) was musically completed. At that time, in the bass position a session bass-player helped the band to complete all the music parts. In September 2001, Peter Ouzounis (vocals) joined the band and at the end of November 2001 the first MCD was both musically and lyrically completed. The music style is based on Death Metal with many old school influences from bands like Monstrosity, Death and Cannibal Corpse.

2002-2003
“Intravenous Multiplication” was finally released in May 2002. 27th of November 2002 Terrordrome gave their first live in Thessaloniki and since then several live performances were given. For the live performances the band had found a bass-player named Sakis Anastasiadis who also became a full time member. The first gigs around Greece went very good and some new songs were ready to be recorded. Late August 2003 Terrordrome entered for the second time the studio and started rehearsing. A lot of problems came up with the people involved and the band lost a lot of time. At that time the band lost also its bass-player due to lack of dedication.

2004-2005
Terrordrome returned to the studio where the first MCD was recorded and began all the recordings from the beginning. So, in February 2004 the promo CD “Sane-in-sanE” was released. It came out to be more aggressive, intense and technical from the first MCD. Brutal Death Metal in the veins of Suffocation and Dying Fetus. 23th of October 2004, at Ydrogeios live stage (Thessaloniki) Terrordrome performed a historic live together with the Death Metal legends OBITUARY! In March of the year 2005 both bass and drum player were asked to leave the band due to lack of imagination, creativity and dedication. Two months later and after some auditions, Anestis Varitimiadis took the bass position and Antonis Vafiadis took the position behind Terrordrome’s drum kit. At that time, the band’s logo had also been developed by Christophe Szpajdel. The music style has also changed and it can be described as Brutal Death Metal with Influences from bands like Origin, Nile and Hate Eternal.

2006-2007
In May 2006, "Terrordrome", a four-track pre-production recording was released with the new line-up, as a promo material for Terrordrome’s first full length album. The recording was done by the band itself. The feedback from the underground scene was awesome, helping to gain a contract for booking management and an offer from UK's GRINDETHIC RECORDS to release their debut album. Unfortunately, Antonis (drums) did not fit in with the rest of the band because of his inability to play the new material. A replacement has been found in the face of Bill Stavrianidis (drums), who came in the band on September 2006. February 2007 and the first official release of Terrordrome is unleashed through Life Fluid Productions and Distro. “Atrocities”, a 5-way split CD including the 4-track pre-production recording, remastered. This is a totally professional work with contribution from other 4 bands from all over the world. Devoured (Indonesia), Among the Decayed (USA), Goldenpyre (Portugal), Digging up (Indonesia). 11th February 2007, Terrordrome performed a live show as an opening act for two very important bands of the Death Metal scene, PUNGENT STENCH and MALEVOLENT CREATION. The show was another great experience playing together with such legends. Work on the debut album "Vehement Convulsion" (recorded by ROTTING CHRIST's George Bokos) was completed in November 2007 and the band were set to unleash their brutality on the world!

2008-2009
The first European Tour of Terrordrome together with Deranged, Defeated Sanity, Deadly Pale and Drowned Child started on the 22nd of February 2008 and ended on 9th of March 2008 (European Blasting Tour 2008). The tour was a complete success and passed from Germany, Switzerland, UK, Poland, Holland and Austria. The tour came the right time so as the band to support and promote its first full length album entitled “Vehement Convulsion” which was officially released from Grindethic Records the 1rst of March 2008. The album consists of 11 technical brutal death metal tracks and the feedback from both the audience and press came out to be amazing and set the band in the global death metal scene. In 2008 Terrordrome was chosen as a support act for the death metal legends Obituary’s concert at the 1st of June, for the second time. In September 2008 Bill Stavrianidis and Terrordrome were proudly endorsed by “DEVIL’S WORKSHOP CUSTOM DRUMS” who provide high quality custom made drums, handcrafted one by one and are based in Arizona, USA. A custom snare drum was later built especially for Bill Stavrianidis. The live activity for the promotion of “Vehement Convulsion” continued and on January 2009 Terrordrome have been confirmed for the 2009 instalment of the INFERNO METAL FESTIVAL being held between April 8 and 11 in Oslo, Norway. The band appeared together with the mighty Blood Red Throne at the Blå Club Stage on Wednesday 8th of April. Works on the second album are already in progress.
