Trauma

Having been the core visionary of legendarily distinctive progressive metal outfit Anacrusis, Kenn Nardi needs no introduction. Throughout 2021, a sudden burst of inspiration during the peculiar times of this pandemic age led Kenn to an outpouring of new solo material, ultimately resulting in the long-awaited follow-up to his massive 2014 double-album, Dancing With the Past (which received accolades from an array of international outlets-more than one citing it album of the year).Titled simply Trauma, the 75-minute outing continues to explore the wide-ranging emotional and textured niche of thought-provoking metal for which only Kenn Nardi could be responsible. Arguably even more Anacrusis-like than it's predecessor, Trauma's 13 tracks are certain to find longtime fans of Kenn Nardi's work enraptured at every turn-from the churning, dissonant surges of opener "Clarion Call"; to the subtle orchestration and melodic hooks of "A Reckoning"; or the dramatic contrasts of 11-minute finale, "The Orphan."With artwork once more delivered by Eliran Kantor, the first 1,000 copies of Trauma will additionally include an exclusive six-song bonus disc containing two new studio cuts plus four reinterpretations of Anacrusis classics. In keeping with Kenn Nardi 's recent influx of creativity and excitement, Trauma has been fast-tracked for an early-2022 release!
