Becoming one of hardcore's premiere live events, Sound and Fury took to the grounds at Exposition Park in Los Angeles for two action-packed days of brimming with the very best of the genre. During a weekend that saw a headlining set from Knocked Loose, a chaotic performance from Trash Talk, a pure party with Project Pat and a final set (for now) from hardcore champions God's Hate, another highlight included what has now become a festival tradition. 

Following Ceremony in 2023 and Touche Amore in 2024, hardcore vets Terror took to the Sound and Fury stage for an unannounced five song performance during the God's Hate set. Playing out as a full circle moment in real time, the tandem performance would close a chapter for God's Hate, as the band announced their set would be their final going into an extended hiatus sharing that, "the job is done... for now."

As for Terror, the long-tenured Los Angeles collective leveraged the surprise hometown set to break some news - announcing that the band's next album would arrive via hardcore authority Flatspot Records. The moment proved a significant highlight on the day, as both God's Hate closed an important chapter, while Terror was seemingly beginning a new one - all within the span of the same stage slot. 

All this in addition to a surprise Carry On appearance which included original members vocalist Ryan George (currently of Youth Code) guitarist Todd Jones (Nails/Terror) flanked by God’s Hate’s Taylor and Colin Young.
