Anacrusis are a progressive thrash band from the US. very original music. I have the album "Suffering Hour" which is pretty good thrash.

"Sound The Alarm" doesn't really sound like Thrash, but it's a good song nonetheless. Need to listen to more of these guys.

The album "Screams and Whispers" is a fantastic album as well! Anyone who likes thrash or progressive metal should check this band out!

The more progressive their album got, the more I liked them. Screams And Whispers is my fave by them. I don't know if a regular thrash metal fan would find this album any good as there hardly are any thrash elements left in their music at this point.

Progressive AND technical to the motherfuckin' goddamn bone. Their first album is quite a thrash metal masterpiece with songs like R.O.T. (Reign Of Terror), Butcher's Block, A World to Gain and Frigid Bitch. Ah yes and their cover of N.I.B. is pretty sweet.

Their music is completely and easily accessible... Click this to go to their and download their music!

Reunited St. Louis-based progressive/melodic thrash metal act ANACRUSIS has issued the following update:

"We're finally finishing up recording the final tracks for the 'new' ANACRUSIS CD. The title of the album will be 'Hindsight: Suffering Hour & Reason Revisited'. The two-CD set will feature both our debut album, 'Suffering Hour', and our second release, 'Reason', along with the classic ANACRUSIS demo track 'Apocalypse', all fully re-recorded by the original lineup of Kenn Nardi, Kevin Heidbreder, John Emery and Mike Owen. The package will also feature a 24-page, full-color booklet with lyrics and lots of photos both old and new.

"Both of these classic albums have been out of print for many years, and we hope old fans and new will find some new life in these re-recorded songs.

"The excellent cover art is being created by Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, SIGH, MEKONG DELTA, GWAR)

"Mixing is nearly complete and mastering will be handled by Maor Appelbaum who has worked with Yngwie Malmsteen, Rob Halford, Dave Ellefson's F5 and many, many more.

"We are still working out details of where the album will be available, but there should be copies on-hand for our appearance at the Keep It True XIII festival in Germany this coming April."

I'm not a fan of re-recording old songs. I wish they would have spent their time writing new ones. But, I'll still have a listen to this.

Yeah, why cant they write new material??? Fucking lazy if you ask me.

Subject: Re: Anacrusis Mon Jun 07, 2010 12:11 pm

I am listening to "Hindsight: Suffering Hour & Reason Revisited" now. Actually it's pretty fucking kickass! The rerecorded songs have 100 times better quality than the older records and it hasn't lost the edge of the earlier recordings.
