Release and promotion On August 9, 2018, Terror announced the Total Retaliation release date and released the albums first single "Mental Demolition". The songs music video later primered on Decibel on April 3, 2019. On September 6, 2018, the second single "Spirit of Sacrifice" and its music video debuted on Consequence of Sound.

They also toured Australia.

Critical reception Jay H. Gorania of Blabbermouth.net wrote "Total Retaliation" is the album that TERROR needed to prove that it still has it and that it's here to stay. It proves the quintet's longevity, and while it is tried and true TERROR in the most fundamental of ways, it's also diverse enough to merit listening to more than once. Exclaim! added "Terror are also more lyrically present on this outing. "Post Armageddon Interlude" touches on North America's polarizing and violent political climate, and Vogel arrives at provocative introspection and rehabilitation on "Spirit of Sacrifice." His time away from the band's touring schedule due to health issues was an absence that would usually damage the presence of most touring acts, but by the time the breakdown of the song hits, the album highlight cements Terror as an irresistible phenomenon that people will continue to swing limbs to in the long-term."
