"Fucking phenomenal...rigid, complex, and most importantly, brutal. If you haven't started 2007 with picking up a copy of Cognitive Dissonance, it's imperative you do so. NOW."
"A damn devastating, all-mangling Death Metal tornado... A severe yet very rewarding soniferous punishment courtesy of Anomalous. Be destroyed or survive!"
Founding members Tim Hale and Max Seeman started writing music in 2001 with the intentions of creating extreme, yet highly aesthetic death metal. While Tim had been a fan of such brutal acts as Cannibal Corpse, Cryptopsy and math metallers Meshuggah for some time before, Max, on the other hand, was more a fan of the psychedelic/blues rock of Pink Floyd and the entrancing beats of DJ Shadow. When the two of them started creating music together, an interesting dynamic developed between Tim’s heavier influences and Max’s more eclectic tastes. The duo realized that the complexity and chaos of their death metal aspects were complimented by the more calming and stirring qualities of their clean passages and Jazz/fusion-inspired solos (think Allan Holdsworth). Thus, Tim and Max sought to compile a full line up to fill out there sound and take their music to the stage, under the name Anomalous.
Months after the two started writing music, Tim and Max acquired a drummer in Steve Powell and started to practice as a three piece. When the trio became solid enough, they decided to try to play some shows, regardless of the missing bassist and vocalist. In 2004, years after the original two members started to write the music that became Anomalous, the trio played a few shows to a great response from the crowds. Word was starting to spread and Anomalous was on their way to playing bigger shows until tension mounted between Tim and drummer Steve. Later on that same year, Steve quit the band and Anomalous was a duo again. Tim and Max played temporarily with another drummer, but it did not work out either.
Consequently, Anomalous seemed doomed. However, in 2005, Tim and Max decided to take matters into their own hands and program the drums using sampling and sequencing software. The idea had pumped new life into the project and resulted in the recruitment of Nate Vennarucci on bass. During the following year the new trio recorded a 5 song MCD entitled Cognitive Dissonance on their own budget (with Tim handling vocal duties) and uploaded tracks onto the ever-popular Myspace website. The songs garnered many fans for Anomalous, but more importantly got the attention of the Brutal Bands label owner Scott Ellingboe. In July 2006 Scott offered the band a contract for two releases (including Cognitive Dissonance) and in September Anomalous signed with the burgeoning brutal death metal label.
Currently, Anomalous is starting to practice their material from the MCD and write for their full length debut. Anomalous is also still on the lookout for a permanent drummer so that they may take the next step forward in bringing their unique brand of progressive death metal to the masses.
