NEW WEBSITE IS BEING PREPARED!|2009-08-20

We have had problems with our website for a long time. In previous year our new website appeared, which, according to our assumptions, should have been fully professional, functional, and, most of all- varied. Unfortunately- because of many circumstances, we have failed. This situation is inconvenient to us, that is why we have decided to order a new one. By now the work is close to finish, and it will not take a lot of time to complete the task and to let you know what is happening to the band. Website was made by Michal ‘Xaay’ Loranc, graphic designer engaged in cooperation with Trauma.

RECENT FESTIVALS - SUMMARY|2009-08-05

Festivals on which we appeared last months were our first concerts in eastern part of Europe. We would like to point here, that we truly appreciate work of organisators of Devil Stone Open Air. Thank you for great organization of whole event and all-out professionalism. We are honored to have had such an opportunity to play in Lithuania.

Organisation of Ukrainian Metal Head’s Mission was far imperfect in our opinion, but welcome of Ukrainian fans, absolutely stunning atmosphere of event and eventually phenomenal concert of Trauma made this trip worth itself and resulted in giving you one of our greatest shows for the previous years.

Due to fact that our vocalist- Robert Jarymowicz was indisposed in time of festivals, he was replaced by our friend Jacek Brzozowski from polish death metal band Sothoth. In this place we would like to thank him very much for time that he had to spend for preparing the material and for his support on both festivals.

TRAUMA APPEARS ON SUMMER FESTIVALS!|2009-07-08

This month Trauma will perform on two international festivals. First of them, DEVIL STONE OPEN AIR FESTIVAL, will take place in Lithuania, between 17^th and 18^th July, in town called Anyksciai, one of the most impressive corners of the Baltics. That is following edition of this festival, which become more and more prestigious from year to year, attracting thousands of fans of extreme music. The headliners of this edition of DEVIL STONE OPER AIR are Brasilian SEPULTURA, Norwegian KEEP OF KALESSIN, Dutch SINISTER and British formation- THE CODE.

Two weeks after DEVIL STONE OPEN AIR, on 31th July, we are performing on huge, Ukrainian festival- METAL HEAD’S MISSION OPEN AIR FESTIVAL, which will take place in beautiful town Morskoe, situated near the Black Sea, on Crimae.

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK|2009-06-15

This time, as far as our concept for ‘Archetype Of Chaos’ album is finally set up, we have made up a decision to cooperate with Polish graphic designer, Michał Loranc, widely known as ‘Xaay’. You probably know him from collaboration with bands such as Nile, Behemoth, Armagedon etc. Xaay undertook doing cover and layout for our newest album. We had a lot of ideas about the cover and finally passed it on to Xaay, who made the work complete. Album cover is strongly inspired by ideas of Alhazred - a poet and author of lyrics on ‘Archetype…’.

MIX OF OUR NEWEST MATERIAL FINISHED!|2009-05-31

After exhausting recording session of “Archetype Of Chaos’ CD and few weeks of rest, for two previous months we have been returning to Hertz Studio more than once, to finish the work over the new CD. At the first phase, we have menaged to elaborate overall sound of the album. On stage 2^nd, we have made great effort to finish every detail of new production. We have never been working over the mix for so long time. We needed a lot of time to look at our work objectively, so that the final affect is absolutely stunning. Due to fact that either the songs and arrangements are more sophisticated that ever before, we wanted it to sound in the most adequate way, different than other albums did. On the one hand, we focused on selection of new production, on the other hand- we wanted to make it sound epic and heavy. That was tough compromise, and there are no words to tell how glad we are that we have finally succeed. We have no doubts that this is the best album we have ever recorded, including the sound and musicmanship. We are looking forward to share it with you.

Stay Traumed.
