Anacrusis was so far ahead of their time. 30 years later, Manic & Whispers are still 2 of my favorites. Absolutely brilliant. 🤘❤️

Believe it or not... I've been searching for almost 15 years to find the name of this band. At that time, the music channel (TV) miswrote the name of the band during the clip and I couldn't find the right name for years. So glad I finally found that song !!!!!!!!!!!

I saw these guys way back in 1993 in Philadelphia. If I remember correctly the line up was Mercyful Fate, Cathedral, Flotsam and Jetsam, and Anacrusis. Anacrusis totally won me over that night. What a unique sound!

so We've had albums from Heathen, Helstar, Forbidden, and now have the reformation of Coroner and Anacrusis. Where the hell is Forced Entry? Just waiting for Toxik and Powermad to complete the circle. Most of these guys were awesome bands that were struggling in the late 80's early 90's but churning out great damn music. So happy so many are back.

Just the best songwriting in metal to come out of the early 90's. So incredible.

Agreed. I picked this up when it first came out and loved the shit out of it. Unfortunately I haven't listened in years. But, now I want to hear it again...all the way through....

They were fantastic. I was fortunate to see them open for Overkill and the Galactic Cowboys in 1991 and bought all their albums immediately afterwards. I even called Kevin up when I drove through St. Louis in 1995 and he bought me lunch! Super cool guys!

\,,/ shit yeah! i may be showing my age here but i had the pleasure of seeing these guys open for megadeth back on the "rust in peace" tour. anacrusis was supporting their "manic impressions" album then. what a great way to get introduced to this awesome group! been one of my favorite since.

so glad i got to see these guys before they broke up. years ago ago ken nardi [vocals/guitar] and i were corresponding and he emailed me greatly detailed accounts of why the band broke up and what he and everyone else had been doing since, and sent a 3 hour video tape of rare anacrusis footage. fuckin' cool dude. don't know how to find him today..

the first 'metal' band I knew. I bought their cassette "screams and whisper" somewhere in 1995 that led me to other metal bands. Since 1995, I love metal music until now, thanks to Anacrusis.

I think they are the best example of the right band in the wrong time. The 90's where strange years for good heavy metal... That's my explanation for why such a good band never had their deserved success and remained so incredibly obscured. I like all their albums, but Screams And Whispers is simply a masterpiece. One of those albums that you can't listen just to one song, because all songs are so good and stuck in your head forever. So unfair. So unfair...

This is obviously a great track, no real need to point that out. Just had to say, holy shit that vocalist headbangs like he’s fucking possessed by the demons of metal, fucking superb! Makes a great track even greater, that energy and aggression....I think I’m going on a KZbin search of the best headbangers, though this will be tough to beat!

last time we corresponded was 1998 but at that time ken had been re-married and became a born again christian after being atheist his whole life, and was demoing new music that he said was in the "screams and whispers" style. kevin h. had opened a sports bar. john emery was working at a van rental place.. i don't think he knew what paul miles was doing..

One of my favourite songs of my favourite album of my favourite band! If my local underground radio station back in the days hadnt played each song of the "Manic Impressions" album for weeks I certainly would have missed on this one. its passionate music, but it takes some time to get into it. Great to see the are some hardcorefans left who feel similar. cheers to all of you :)

Hey, at least they left a short legacy and their material for free download on their website. :P Bought 'Screams and Whispers' a couple years back but the music never really caught my interest until I started recently diving into Progressive Metal. This track hit me like a ton of fucking bricks; the haunting vocals and inhuman shrieks, the simple yet pounding drumwork, and those damn riffs. SO AWESOME.

@bigjeepj20 Well I tried it out didn't I? I agree that this is very good, in fact I bought it about 2 months ago. I find genres to very helpful there is a lot of music someone or another finds to be "good" searching "good music" on the internet would be a colossal waste of time so it's nice to have label so that you can search with a higher probability you will like something. I don't have time to listen to everything, get what I'm saying?
