WHAT DOES TERRIFIED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Terrified

Terrified is the seventh album by American heavy metal band Quiet Riot. It is the band's first album in five years, and marks the return of singer Kevin DuBrow after his firing in 1987. It is bassist Kenny Hillery's only studio album with the band, and drummer Bobby Rondinelli plays on several songs. Many of the album's songs feature in Charles Band's movie Dollman vs. Demonic Toys, with the album itself being released on Moonstone Records, the soundtrack off-shoot of Band's film company Full Moon Entertainment. The song "Itchycoo Park" is a cover of the Small Faces' single from 1967. This was not the first time the band had covered a Small Faces song, they had also done covers of their music on their first two albums, which featured Randy Rhoads. This is the first Quiet Riot album released internationally not to feature the production work of Spencer Proffer. In 1994, the album won the American Indie Music Award for the Heavy Metal category. Although the band would record another four studio albums following Terrified, the band's last non-promotional single was issued from this album.
