Late 2020 will prove to be a busy time for first-wave thrash metal act TRAUMA<\/strong>, for they plan to release their fourth full-length album and tour throughout Europe on a bill also featuring ROSS THE BOSS<\/strong> and BURNING WITCHES<\/strong>. Comprised of Donny Hillier<\/strong> (lead vocals), Kris Gustofson<\/strong> (drums), Greg Christian<\/strong> (bass, ex-TESTAMENT<\/strong>), Joe Fraulob<\/strong> (guitar) and Steve Robello<\/strong> (guitar), TRAUMA<\/strong> looks to build on the buzz created by its last album, 2018’s “As The World Dies”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“TRAUMA<\/strong> is currently considering what the album should be called,” explains Kris<\/strong>. “Usually for us we have to think about a theme\/scope of the recorded songs and what it represents for the time now. Hopefully we will have something soon that makes sense for the recorded collection of tracks, It seems that the new record title, may be a little similar in its title as to our last album, ‘As The World Dies’<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the group can\u2019t wait to kick off its first substantial European tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“TRAUMA<\/strong> is very much looking forward to touring with ROSS THE BOSS<\/strong> and BURNING WITCHES<\/strong> in the fall,” Kris<\/strong> says. “Honestly, we cannot wait to hit the stage. The only other time TRAUMA<\/strong> played in Europe was at the Headbangers Open Air<\/strong> festival. The fans seemed to really like our performance that day. We played for 90 minutes! The stage manager had to let us know that we needed to stop, but the crowd wanted to keep listening to us which was great. We are looking very forward to getting back over to Europe. We had other opportunities in the past to do so, however the timing just wasn’t right. We are hopeful that it will be on in November 2020. So far so good.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally formed in 1981 in San Francisco, TRAUMA<\/strong> was part of the same scene that gave the world such thrash notables as EXODUS, <\/strong>METALLICA<\/strong> and TESTAMENT<\/strong>. And the band\u2019s original bassist was none other than the late\/legendary Cliff Burton<\/strong> (who would later join METALLICA<\/strong>). 1984 saw the release of the group\u2019s debut album, “Scratch And Scream”<\/strong>, before the band split in 1985. But in 2013, TRAUMA<\/strong> reunited and has been back in business ever since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
