Suite à leur reformation discrète, ce groupe US culte de thrash/prog mélodique a mis en ligne un nouveau morceau.
Pas de traces de techno-thrash dans cette chanson pourtant mais je l'aime beaucoup!
Singer/guitarist Kenn Nardi of reunited St. Louis, Missouri-based progressive/melodic thrash metallers ANACRUSIS have issued the following update:
"Bassist John Emery, drummer Mike Owen and I have been working on some new material and though there are no definite plans for a new album at this time, we thought we'd share a new song with you. We have several new songs already recorded and many more in the works and plan to have new material available in some form before summer."

ça c'est del abonne nouvelle qui enchante mon vendredi qui n'a commencé que depuis 15 minutes.
et ça sonne bien ce titre. Vivement l'album!
Ils passent le dimanche au Rock hard, je bosse le vendredi et le samedi mais je ferai bien la route rien que pour les revoir (ainsi que Enforcer, vicious rumors, Metal inquisitor, Atlantean kodex, overkill...)
Et pour rappel, toute leur discographie (et même beaucoup plus avec demos, lives, rehearsals, et enregistrements pré-ANACRUSIS) est dispo en téléchargement gratuit sur le site du groupe. http://anacrusis.us/anacrusis%20media/anac_MP3.htm
Leur leader Kenn Nardi met en ligne des chansons qui étaient dédiées à un nouvel album d'Anacrusis qui n'a pas pu se faire. L'album sera terminé en tant que "solo" donc.
"Dead Letters", a brand new song from vocalist/guitarist Kenn Nardi of reunited St. Louis, Missouri-based progressive/melodic thrash metallers ANACRUSIS, can be streamed in the YouTube clip below.
Nardi revealed in an online post this past April that he is "planning to finish the new music and release it in some form, but I'm not sure of the details just yet. This will not be an acoustic project like CRUEL APRIL. It will be exactly the same album that I had intended to record with [fellow ANACRUSIS original members] John [Emery, bass] and Mike [Owen, drums].
"Basically. I have been recording new songs myself over the last couple of years (during the reunion rehearsals/shows/festivals) with the intention of going back and replacing the programmed drums and the bass parts that I recorded using the other guys. Unfortunately, this was going nowhere and we could just never find the time to get things moving. So I have left John's bass on a few songs that he had completed and have played everything else myself. There were rough drum tracks which Mike played and had planned to go back and re-do which I have just replaced like the rest of the demos (If you've heard the version of 'Made' I posted, you'll have an idea as I was the only one on that recording).
"I have more than 20 songs completed and will be working on recording the last batch over the next few weeks. In the end, there will be maybe 30 songs making up two complete CDs packed full of new material. Most will be very much in the style of ANACRUSIS (or at least where we would be 20 years after 'Screams And Whispers') and some a bit more experimental and/or melodic. There will be thrash stuff, proggish stuff, melodic stuff and some things like you've never heard. I have even recorded a heavier version of 'A Little Light' from the CRUEL APRIL project. With 2 1/2 hours worth of songs, there should something for any fan of ANACRUSIS and more.
"I still plan to call it 'Parallax Error', though I am debating whether to put the name ANACRUSIS on it or not. Regardless, by any name, the album would be the same. I plan on posting a medley of samples soon to give everyone an idea what to expect.
"I personally have so much time and creative effort invested in these songs that I did not want to abandon the entire project just because we cannot find the time to be a band right now. Hopefully some of you will enjoy what I have created this time and the new recordings will be something fresh for those of you who've waited for new ANACRUSIS music."
ANACRUSIS in 2010 spent time in the studio recorded a "new" album entitled "Hindsight: Suffering Hour & Reason Revisited". The two-CD set featured both ANACRUSIS' debut album, "Suffering Hour", and its second release, "Reason", along with the classic ANACRUSIS demo track "Apocalypse", all fully re-recorded by the original lineup of Nardi, Kevin Heidbreder, John Emery and Mike Owen. The package also featured a 24-page, full-color booklet with lyrics and lots of photos both old and new. The cover art was created by Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, SIGH, MEKONG DELTA, GWAR).
In 2009, Stormspell Records released the CD/DVD compilation, "Annihilation Complete: The Early Years Anthology", which featured ANACRUSIS' demo and video footage of Nardi's pre-ANACRUSIS band, HEAVEN'S FLAME.

J'ai un ami qui est très fan de ce groupe, mais ce n'est que maintenant que je découvre, grâce au liens d'Olivier, je me suis écouté Manic Impressions cet après-midi et Sur certains points, ça me rappelle The Sane Asylum de Blind Illusion. En tout cas, en tant qu'amateur de Techno-Thrash et autres groupes techniques de la fin des années 80 et du début des années 90 très ancrés Metal traditionnel, ça me satisfait.

"I haven’t decided whether to release it as Anacrusis or just a solo project," Nardi told Heavy Skull recently. "The music was all written with the intention of being Anacrusis but I am playing everything myself aside from a handful of songs that John had already recorded the bass parts on. The idea was to track everything against programmed drum parts so I could begin the process without having to record all of the drums first. Then we would go back and have Mike (Owen) play the drums and replace them that way. We just never got far with them learning their parts and were not getting anything accomplished while I was still writing and tracking new songs. With so much new material, it would take forever with our current schedules to finish it and I really wasn’t sure if John (Emery) and Mike were really into doing it at all. Eventually I just decided to do it all myself. Maybe this isn’t the best way, but I did want to finish it and I am very happy with the results. I am also much happier to do what I want without having to get agreement from the other guys. Maybe they didn’t like the direction I was headed musically. I don’t know, but I am very excited about these new songs and I think this will be a metal album like none that has ever been done (or at least that I’ve ever heard)."

Des extraits de la première moitié de l'album :
R.I.P Ronnie James Dio !
"La culture, c'est comme l'amour. Il faut y aller à petits coups au début pour bien en jouir plus tard."
Pierre Desproges
"The running time of the album will be approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes. That's just about as much music as can be crammed onto two CDs. It would also be great to do a vinyl version, but I'm afraid it would have to be a box-set just to fit everything in."
