Kenn Nardi from St. Louis-based visionaries ANACRUSIS has uploaded audio samples of the upcoming album, Dancing With The Past, below.

"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)."
