Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this classic Metal album including three bonus tracks recorded with bassist Cliff Burton prior to his joining Metallica. Trauma was founded in the Bay Area in 1980 as one of the first of the New Wave of Bay Area Metal bands. After Cliff Burton's departure to join Metallica, the band changed personnel. In 1984, Trauma recorded the Scratch & Scream album for Shrapnel Records. The album received many excellent reviews from primarily American and European heavy metal magazines such as Kerrang, Circus, and Metal Forces to name a few. This version sounds awesome and is housed in an attractive, limited edition digipak cover.
