Trauma (рус. травма) — американская хеви-метал-группа. Она известна тем, что была первой группой басиста-виртуоза Клиффа Бёртона, прежде чем он ушёл в группу Metallica. Вскоре Крис Густофсон ушёл и переиграл в других группах, самая знаменитая из которых St. Elmo’s Fire. Майкл Овертон давал интервью Джоелу Макайверу для его книги «To Live Is to Die: Жизнь и смерть Клиффа Бёртона» (англ.  "To Live Is to Die: The Life and Death of Metallica's Cliff Burton").
