Anomalous is a progressive-technical-death-metal band formed in 2001 by Tim Hale and Max Seeman. With a goal of creating a sound that melded their disparate influences, the founding members began writing music.

Despite the lack of a vocalist, bassist and a revolving cast of drummers, a series of shows in the San Francisco Bay Area announced Anomalous as a presence.

In 2005, the founding members were joined by Nate Vennarucci, and the trio began recording, substituting programmed drums and samples for the ever-revolving cast of percussionists. Upon completion of the recording, the Minnesota-based metal label Brutal Bands picked up the band and in 2006 "Cognitive Dissonance" was released to favorable reviews. The band's masterful first release belies, or perhaps reflects, the bands tumultuous beginnings and while deserving of a brief respite, Anomalous began writing for the next album, while actively pursuing musicians to complete their sound.

After an exhaustive search, the band welcomed Marco Pitruzella as the new drummer, replacing the cold, precise machinations of programmed drums with the fire and intensity of the experienced metal percussionist.

Persevering through the myriad problems that present themselves between the inception and success of a band, Anomalous has maintained a rigid standard of musical quality that has resulted in the completion of their upcoming album. "Ohmnivalent" is due for release by Brutal Bands on March 15th in the U.S. and March 18th, 2011 in Europe!

Bicruciforms: The Eternal Return

(lyrics by Tim Hale)

recurrence eternal

a false beginning with a tricky ending

it's all played out before

the greatest error doomed to repetition

invert this loop

oscillating mirage dream

conform to my new rebellious

anarchic military state

I can settle down in a vivarium

if the cell wall are wide enough to let me

spread my wings

I submit to you sharia in the sky

and maybe if you repeat a lie often enough

it could set you free!

bleeding knees

plasma ticking and smoking

imminent flesh-fueled bomb

feels like I've been on my knees too long

defined only by opposition

what am I without my scapegoat

on which I project my venomous rage?

how may I exalt myself without the cloak of purity?

all the pages buried within your vault

will not shelter my eyes while you get under my skin

assimilate and push that rock up the mountain again

another revolution another curtain-parting puppet show reveal

resentment there will always be

no matter who tops the hierarchy

blind man sees internally

when there's no witness to the fall

all the desecrations hidden in your vault

will not burn out my eyes

while she's executed in honor, martyr

my skin is steel your nails won't break through

for every stone lodged in the cross

for every raped and plagiarized ascension

it will die inside her jagged womb

his papal occupation

blind woman sees

through janus eyes

the one, the three

dead before it's alive

now it's time to get off of your knees

the vault is open and her spirit has risen

you're redeemed

open your eyes

don't swim upstream in the infant trinity's sea of lies

reverse the tide

reverse the lie

set us free
