San Francisco, California-based heavy metal band Trauma issued third full-length studio album As The World Dies<\/em> independently on May 11th, 2018 via an exclusive global distribution deal with The Orchard \/ Sony Music. The album was reissued on February 15th, 2019 via Pure Steel Records.<\/p>\n

As The World Dies<\/em> was produced by guitarist Joe Fraulob at Trident Studio in Martinez, California, and mixed by Juan Urteaga.<\/p>\n

In June 2017 Trauma confirmed the addition of former Testment bassist Greg Christian to their ranks. \u201cTrauma is thrilled to welcome Greg Christian to our band,\u201d said the band in a statement. \u201cHis creative bass guitar work completes our music.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving grown up in the Bay Area thrash scene, it\u2019s a huge honour for me to play in Trauma,\u201d added Christian. \u201cAfter all, this was Cliff Burton\u2019s (R.I.P.) band. Respect! Style-wise, for me, it\u2019s a perfect fit and feels like I\u2019m finally exactly where I\u2019m supposed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
