Did you know it ?
The “anacrusis” is a note or series of notes that comes before the first complete measure of a composition; an introductory (and optional) measure that does not hold the number of beats expressed by the time signature. The anacrusis prepares your ears for the next measure’s downbeat and is therefore sometimes referred to as the ‘upbeat’ In traditional notation — the amount of beats in the anacrusis is taken out of the very last measure of the song to even out the difference.

Progressive/ thrash metal band from St. Louis, Missouri, USA, Anacrusis was one of the first bands to attempt 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.
