Biography

Terraphobia are a metal band hailing from the state of Victoria in Australia. Formed in 1985 by guitarist Mick Jelinic under the name of Lethal Dose, the band released several demos between 1985 & 1993. In 1993 the name was changed to Terraphobia. Terraphobia was put on hold in 2002 as Mick joined fellow Aussie death metalers Mortification. Mick’s stint with Mortification lasted 11 years, appearing on 3 albums, a live DVD as well as several European tours and is also credited in writing the music for some of Mortification's later day classic’s such as, I’m Not your Commodity, Razorback and Livin' Like A Zombie. In 2011 the wait was finally over, Terraphobia was back with a vengeance releasing the highly acclaimed album “Evilution”. In 2020 Mick had started putting together riffs for a new album, as the songs progressed it became apparent that to perform the songs live Terraphobia would need a 2nd guitarist. Enter David Jelinic, Mick’s son, a perfect choice, Dave had been on a diet of metal music since a baby, listening and jamming to his father’s music at an early age. In June 2021 recording had begun for a new album in bands home studio. Another chapter begins in Terraphobia’s long history with a new album titled “Rise” set to be released later in 2022.
