Trauma is an American heavy metal band formed in 1981. The band is best known for having bassist Cliff Burton in its initial lineup, who would later leave the band to join Metallica.

The group disbanded in 1985 before re-establishing itself after twenty-eight years (2013) around original vocalist Donny Hillier and returning drummer Kris Gustofson.

On September 28, 2020, Hillier passed away following an undisclosed illness;[1] he was replaced by vocalist Brian Allen nearly a year later on August 24, 2021.[2]

On December 6, 2022, Marty Friedman and Trauma were announced as special guests for Queensrÿche's 2023 Digital Noise Alliance Tour;[3] on February 21, 2023, Casey Trask was named as substitute rhythm guitarist for Joe Fraulob on that tour.[4]

Its current line-up consists of members Gustofson, Steve Robello, Allen and Michael Spencer, with Trask as their touring rhythm guitarist.
