Anacrusis was a progressive / thrash metal band from St. Louis, MO. Anacrusis was one of the first bands that attempted to blend thrash and progressive metal. • • Anacrusis' first demo, Annihilation Complete was voted Best Demo of 1987 by the readers of Metal Forces magazine and was later included in the publication's Demolition... Scream Your Brains Out! Compilation album. This led to a deal with England-based indie Active Records, for whom the group created their first album, Suffering Hour, the following year on a meager 1,200-dollar budget in just under a week. The following Reason album began revealing signs of the band's popular sound. Anacrusis toured in support of the band D.R.I., but without an album released on an American label, the drummer Mike Owen quit to join the Navy shortly after they returned home. Former Heaven's Flame member Chad Smith took over the drums, while the band eventually got signed to the American label Metal Blade Records. • • In 1991, Manic Impressions was their first album proper studio recording, recorded at Royal Recorders in Lake Geneva, WI. A 38-city U.S. tour supporting Overkill and Galactic Cowboys followed a handful of Midwestern dates opening for Megadeth earlier in the year. After the tour, on returning to St. Louis, they devoted the next few months to writing new material, and after replacing Smith with drummer Paul Miles, work finally began on their 1993 album Screams and Whispers. This would remain their final album, as the band broke up after its release. • • In 2009, the band announced that the original line-up of Kenn Nardi, Kevin Heidbreder, John Emery and Mike Owen would reunite for a performance at the 2010 KEEP IT TRUE XIII Festival in Germany. Also in 2009 the band released a CD/DVD anthology of early material on Stormspell Records. The package included their 1987 Annihilation Complete demo along with other demos, rehearsal recordings and early live footage. • • Current line up: • Kenn Nardi - Guitar, Vocals (1987-1993) (Cruel April, Tribe With Knives, Heaven's Flame) • Kevin Heidbreder - Guitar (1987-1993) • John Emery - Bass (1987-1993) • Paul Miles - Drums (Megalith (USA)) (1992-1993) • • This is a track from 1988s Suffering hour • The Anacrusis website has a previously unreleased bonus track available for • Download: N.I.B.

Annihilation Complete / Disemboweled 04:42 • • Twisting the images • Watching them grow • Into what they are not • Forget we forgot as they fed on what's real • • The path I fell onto • Of tears wades through • Await the demise • In sorry disguise from the things that I feel • • Time does not exist • The days as thin as mist • Deep within my eyes • There is a heart that died long ago • • What is it going to take to get through to you? • To open your fear-blinded eyes? • Because there was this fear that would tear at me • That by our own hands we would fall • • These clouds can pass no light • Just silhouettes of tired life • Sorrow begging, why?, for answers miles and miles from the truth • • Endurance and patience lost • From fighting this holocaust • Destroying within and eating its way from the core • • Time does not exist • These days are meaningless • Deep within my eyes • There is a heart that died long ago • • What is it going to take to get through to you? • To open your fear-blinded eyes? • Because there was this fear that would tear at me • That by our own hands we would fall • • *Forgive this heart • Long stagnant with its blood • For it is here, within my suffering • That these, the altars of the soul have creaked • Suffering Hour... • Suffering Hour... • Suffering Hour... • My darkest hour is now • • What is it going to take to get through to you? • To open your fear-blinded eyes? • Because there was this fear that would tear at me • That by our own hands we would fall • • *Taken from 'THE SUFFERING HOUR', a poem • by TOM D. LISKEY
