Negro Terror, the brainchild of bassist and reggae frontman Omar Higgins, is an all American, all hardcore punk group that just happens to be all black. But the music that's played has no color, just the crimson red of pure aggression.

Al Town is Memphis Tn's D.I.Y. Skate park. Built by skaters for skaters.

Produced by Waheed AlQawasmi "WA Films"
Cinematographer - Jordan Danelz
Camera Operator/Editor - Jared B. Callan

Being Black and into rock/punk/metal, from Boston with Love, this is extremely heartwarming to find by accident 🥺🤘🏿 at 29 going on 30, I'm still happy to see my people hold it down.

[themetropolitanpsychosis]

For y’all who didn’t know. My cousin from Tennessee went to high school with him . RIP . Omar . Small world. Keep rocking in punk heaven. ❤

[PoisonInc]

Find out about a band, then immediately find out the singer's no longer with us.
Rest in power, Omar.

[shawntraylor]

I was gonna pass on this, , but I just had to know what a band called Negro Terror sounded like.

[cowsagainstcapitalism]

I'm 38 years old, I'm discovering new bands everyday, and I ask myself all the time, how the fuck did I never hear of this? Thank you Negro Terror! RIP Omar, you will continue to inspire and empower youth for eternity!

The singer/bassist passed away about a year ago. He did two tours of duty in Iraq. RIP brother Omar

[jamesgoodis]

I love three things about this video
1. The music
2. The fact it's the the top Youtube search result for "Skrewdriver"
3. The sweet BMX stunts

[Alniemi]

Man this sounds like some legit 80's 90's punk rock I love it.

[Peasant_in_a_tree]

Rip omar higgins. And for those who don't know, Higgins did two tours in Iraq. He served our country and was a great dude. RIP

[RavenBlaze]

Great to see more people of my skin tone rockin the fuck out. I've always wanted to be in a band where I wasn't the only brotha rockin a bass or Mic

[KayJay-zvyb]

Sick guitar? Check.
Crazy eyes having vocalist? Check.
Nice drums just swinging out? Check.
Skaters/BMXers in the video? Check.
Now this is a punk song from the 2000's

[PseudoWounds]

His voice is awesome, perfect fit for punk

[PenMarkArt]

I had searched black metal, saw this, but honestly this was a great track. I’m not much into punk, but loved how his vocals fit with the guitar tone. Great song, sad to hear of the singer’s passing.

This is a Skrewdriver cover. For the uninitiated, Skrewdriver is one of the most infamous white-supremacist/neo-nazi skinhead bands of all time. So that makes it about 1000% more hilarious and interesting. The original song is called Voice of Britain.

[douglasmartinez]

Omar you were more than a friend. You were my blood brother. I miss the rehearsals, the laughter, the tears, and the slap upside the head and what the #@!$ were you thinking?! Most importantly I miss that certain look you would get when something happened that was really stupid. Those that knew you knows what I am talking about. Thank you for the memories and many beers and joints. And thank you for what you did for the people of Memphis. You are not gone and will never be forgotten for you will always be in that special place in my heart. Love and miss you, bro.

[dilligaf]

This is what I remember as a kid. Black, white or Didn't matter. We were all friends and family that skated, rode bikes, listened to punk/metal, maybe smoked a bowl if that was your thing... And we fuckin chilled.

[thermonuclearwarhead]

More punk than most punk I've heard in years and years.
