Rating: N/A (Very Positive)
Every so often I randomly come across a band by pure accident or chance
that happens to blow me the fuck away. I usually never hear any praise for
them, and they slip under most people's radios with very little fanfare.
Anomalous is such a band.
I heard from an acquaintance that Anomalous played technical brutal death
metal, but the description ended there. No references to if it used Dying
Fetus-inspired groove, went the neo classical route of Necrophagist,
confounded the listener with the bizarre riffing of Gorguts and Negativa, or
simply blasted it's way to oblivion like the plethora of death metal bands out
there. Going into the 5-track Cognitive Dissonance EP I had very little hope,
being the skeptical jackass I am.
Clocking in at a little less than half an hour, making it closer to a short full
length than a traditional EP, Cognitive Dissonance is fucking phenomenal.
Indeed, the description aptly fits, but the music hits everything from Cynic
and Alarum to Ion Dissonance and Atheretic to even a tad bit of Gorguts.
This release flings around mathematical riffing, traditional technical guitar
work, every worthy brutal death metal convention, and some marvelous
synth use without giving into the cheesier aspects of prog, the tepid
drumming of most drum-machine driven bands, or the increasingly popular
reliance on hardcore conventions.
Anomalous has excellent guitar work that is rigid, complex, and most
importantly brutal without becoming stale and vapid. The band has no qualms
with writing catchy, infectious solos and mixing them in with Cynic-influenced
atmospheric effects or the occasional symphonic synth here or there. The
key is their prudence: hit it at the right moment, supply enough, and then pull
out before the moment is lost. Rinse, wash, and repeat. There's no
over-reliance on shredding and the mellow parts are in such a dearth that
even the most ardent "br00tal" fan will have no problem with them. The
drumming is capably handled by a drum machine and- like Fuck… I'm Dead and
others- serves as a perfect example how to do drum programming: vary up
the arrangement and use instances of straight blast with appropriateness.
The vocal delivery is perfectly suited to the band's melodic yet brutal
approach: one very coherent screamer off-set by your necessary guttural
growler. The closest thing I can compare to Anomalous would be an American
version of Coprofago, but with less emphasize on Meshuggah (though still
heavily present), a tempered flavoring of Ion Dissonance, and a firm beef
injection of brutality.
This is the best debut I've heard from a band in awhile and surprisingly people
are relatively quiet about Anomalous. If the final track "Revelations" doesn't
grab you, then you must be fucking dead. If you haven't started 2007 with
picking up a copy of Cognitive Dissonance, it's imperative you do so. NOW.

I don't think I've ever heard a more fitting album title. Anomalous' Cognitive
Dissonance is 5 songs and 27 minutes. For being so short by the end of the
album, feels completed. Nothing more, nothing less was needed. This albums
clashing metallic sound takes part of the new wave of forward thinking tech
bands and I love it. My favorite track is the title track. Cognitive Dissonance
is more or less an Overture for the rest of the other 4 song. It has a little of
all their best quirks. Cognitive Dissonance is an instant classic.
You can't talk about this band without stating the obvious Meshuggah
influence. Especially the vocals, but by no means is this band a Meshuggah
clone. I've never heard a band with such a strong influence and pull it off.
This is far more enjoyable than any Meshuggah release. Period. This album
offers beautiful ambiance and melodies along side metallic off timed damage.
The dirty and heavy guitar tone paired against the artificial drums comes off
as a rusty, up-tempo industrial. They get so metallic and mechanic sounding it
might as well be the soundtrack to Terminator 4.
One thing humans can not do is play as fast and precise as a computer
(obviously). When a band uses their drum machine beyond human speeds, I
feel its really taking full advantage of a new forum of instrument. I wouldn't
change Anomalous' fake drums to real drums no matter how good Lord Marco
can play them. It really adds a certain sound that real drums can't do.
The band also takes full advantage of multiple guitarists. Notes are
constantly tossed back and forth. They play extremely fast and when slowed
down plays a crushing death metal. All of this and still remaining catchy as
hell. This album is fun and serious at the same time. The un-modest sweeping
intro to Revelations gave me a smile but shortly dives right back in with sort
of symphonic sampling.
I didn't give this a perfect score because I know a band with this attitude and
musicianship will could only go forward and become better at their art. This
album as a whole is perfect but a band pushing everyones boundaries can
always turn around and push their own.
