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!
-Premateria (A Fire Birth)-
(lyrics by: Tim Hale)
eye ex nihilo
out of the alpha swirling nuclear density
expanding, contracting, interpenetrating
cell walls touch, but I need an opening
thine infallible tessellation made flesh
reaching out of the orange dawn
fingertips beholden to a remote microbial sphere
26 orbs spiraling
snaking around her wooly legs
a wind blew, shaking the web
and knocked a globe off course
gyrated and submerged into amniotic oceans
encircling her fertile core
igneous ascends like an offspring prosimian wail
igneous ascends like fire from the sky
His good earth is born like venus crucified
forged in his shape
hands embracing flame
diminutive puppet thumb reaches around a rib bone
a slave of his own
given the choice of subservience or destitution
you cannot be me
there was one and now there's three
eclipsing the sky with a babbelling menagerie
feeble hands reaching at immortality
but the serpent-stung wrists bleed
draining the venom for eternity
you're my mistake and you'll always be
beneath my divine grace
