So Where To Today?

There are six artists with this name: 1) A progessive metal band from Pasadena, Maryland, drawing influence from late 80’s, early 90’s metal bands such as Death, Gorguts, Cynic, Malevolent Creation, Foreign Objects. Founded in late 2004 by Ryan Thall, lead guitars/vocals, and Ray Warrick, rhythm guitars/vocals, Anomaly’s goal is to create a new form of music based on fresh ideas with great emphasis on riff and beat structure, as well as cynical and metaphorical lyrical content. After a year of searching for a drummer when their previous, unnamed band split up, they found Bill, an all-around musician who offered to take up drums, and was eagerly accepted. A few demo tracks were released in early 2005, and Anomaly began to draw an audience from all over the world. Late 2005 came with new demo tracks, and a handful of shows. In 2006, Anomaly began focusing on writing/arranging new material based off of different influences, experimenting with different ideas and sounds to complete their concept album. This evolution is still in the works. As of now, Anomaly is temporarily on hiatus, though Ryan and Ray are still writing and arranging said material to release at a later, undisclosed date. 2) ANOMALY are a 4-member Dutch band whose style deftly combines prog metal, fusion and classical themes, with a focus on electric guitar and keyboards. Their music often sounds improvised and takes a while to sink in, but their compositions are mature, the arrangements sophisticated, and the overall effect is a perfect blend of beauty and strength - a combination of jazz and metal elements that sounds totally natural. Although hailed as the Dutch LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT, they definitely have a style of their own. The band consists of keyboard player Ivar Pijper and guitarist Rory Hansen who both write all of the bands’ compositions, and of John Aponno on bass as well as John Paul Muñoz on drums. 3) Anomaly is a producer from Chicago, USA. His music is a mellow melodic mix of samples and synthesis. 4) Anomaly is the alter ego of Thorleifur Gislason, Icelandic electronica composer. 5) Anomaly is Brutal Death band from Lithuania (Klaipėda), they formed in 1993, and released one album “Disforic Agony” (1996, Soundless Prod.), 10 years, the group has been suspended by the act, but now she is once again active. 6) Anomaly is an amateur musician from Russia, Moscow. The core of his work is dedicated to the network game “Бойцовский Клуб” (Fight Club), which was extremely popular with the russians up to now. The plots of his tracks and all the characters are the legendary ones and are taken from the history of this game. Unfortunately no single song was released and this once again underlined a concern for music rather than for a commercial interest. Thus a set of lone records are walking about the internet)
