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, etc. 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 to convey meaningful ideas through 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.
