Track Premiere: Kenn Nardi — “Masquerade”

Damn!

This wild, swashbuckling second solo offering of epic heavy-fucking-metal courtesy Kenn Nardi — guitarist/vocalist of recently reactivated underground thrash-prog legend Anacrusis — has flown waaaay too far below the radar. Imagine Trauma as the fun, vivifying grounds upon which a thousand great thrash riffs meet to do friendly battle with sweeping orchestral atmospherics.

“For this album, I wanted to take the ideas and vision from Dancing With the Past and try to streamline that with more of a focus on melody straightforward songwriting,” Nardi tells Decibel. “In many ways Trauma is probably closer to the album many Anacrusis fans were hoping for last time.”
