Biographical note: Negro Terror formed in 2015 in Memphis under the leadership of Omar Higgins. Higgins passed away on April 18, 2019, after recording material for a debut full-length project that remains a touchstone for fans and a spur for later material. The band released the debut EP The Bootlegg in 2017 as a 5-track Bandcamp release, setting the stage for their signature blend of hardcore aggression with oi! and reggae-inflected rhythms. A full-length album, Paranoia, was announced for 2019 but has not seen a wide-scale release, with the band continuing to perform and release new singles in the following years.
Notable milestones include the 2019 Negro Terror documentary, which helped propel screenings and contributed to the 2018 Soul of Southern Film Award at Indie Memphis, underscoring the band’s cultural impact within the Memphis music scene. In 2025, Negro Terror released the single KKKaren Anthem (early 2025) and followed with a confirmed release date of March 28, 2025 on Apple Music, signaling ongoing activity and evolution. Expect upcoming Memphis performances such as The Green Room at Crosstown Arts on February 7, 2025 as part of Church in the Wild, with additional 2025 gigs at Inkatsuki Tattoo’s on June 28, 2025 and a NYE/holiday period date at Hi-Tone on December 31, 2025.
