His music has been described as a blend of gothic rock, industrial, metal, EBM and 80’s influences into a modern, melodic electro-rock sound. Some reviewers have described it as “Gothtronica” while Anders simply refers to it as “Electronic Rock”.
Regardless of the genre you wish to classify his music, the listeners continue to grow worldwide on a daily basis. In 2007 Anders was nominated for “Band of the Year” by Gothic Beauty Magazine readers alongside Lacuna Coil, Skinny Puppy, and an artist he lists as one of his earliest influences, Gary Numan.
Over the last few years, his fan base has crossed over into the horror film genre, where he has contributed music to over 12 films. The Horror network, FearNet.com referred to Anders’ work as “wickedly inventive” while Pseudopod.org, the world’s premier horror fiction podcast has used Anders’ "Bloodletting On the Kiss” as their show opening for the past 4 years.
Anders has performed at many festivals and dark music events such as Convergence, The Ann Rice Halloween Ball, Black Sun Festival, Goth Stock, Eccentric Festival, Cirque Macabre, Bar Sinister and multiple performances at the infamous “Dracula’s Ball” event in Philadelphia.
In 2008, Anders’ single, “There Will Be Blood” climbed to the top 20 of the German Alternative Music (or DAC) Charts, which prompted him to pursue more opportunities outside the USA. In 2009, he signed with Danse Macabre Records in Europe. His first official worldwide release “Infinite Gaze to the Sun” is expected to be released in January of 2010.

Mutiny
Anders Manga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mutiny, Sadly Breathes Turn and Dance and Spin
What's that Boy You're Getting Tired, that's not in the plan
What's that girl you're making way for the garbage can
Once Again for the last time
Once again you see
I know it's gonna come to free
Mutiny, What'd you think Is it doing well
Mutiny, I can see after all is dead
Play the game don't compromise, tell it understand
Dancing Naked for the world that was just the plan
In Anders Manga's song "Mutiny", the lyrics describe a sense of rebellion and defiance as the singer implores the audience to join in and cast off social norms. The repeated mention of "mutiny" signifies a desire to overthrow and rebel against the status quo. The lyrics "Laughing Loud Again" and "Turn and Dance and Spin" suggest a joyous and carefree attitude towards this rebellion. However, the lyrics also acknowledge the potential consequences, with lines like "What's that Boy You're Getting Tired, that's not in the plan" and "What's that girl you're making way for the garbage can" hinting at the fear, uncertainty, and danger that comes with challenging authority.
Further examination of the lyrics suggests that this rebellion is not a shallow, spur-of-the-moment act but rather something that has been brewing inside for some time. The lines "Once Again for the last time / Once again you see / I know it's gonna happen inside / I know it's gonna come to free" suggest a sense of inevitability and an urgent need to act. The repeated call to "mutiny" reinforces this sense of a deeply rooted rebellion.
Overall, "Mutiny" is a call to arms, a celebration of rebellion, and a warning about the dangers and risks that come with seeking freedom and fighting for change.

When one feels exhausted and wants to give up, it's a sign of deviation from the original intention or decision.

Mutiny, I can see after all is dead
Once everything is destroyed and all hope is lost, the only thing left is the remnants of the mutiny - a defiant spirit that refuses to be subdued.
Play the game don't compromise, tell it understand
The only way to win the mutiny is to play the game, but not by compromising, and let the world understand the importance of non-conformity.
Dancing Naked for the world that was just the plan
The rebellion wanted to expose the superficiality and falseness of the world by metaphorically dancing naked - revealing oneself in the most honest and raw way possible.

"We are the servants of God
and the messengers of his justice.
We are the instruments of his divine wrath on Earth.
We are called upon
to cleanse his kingdom
Bringing ash to the flesh
Of thine enemies.
Praise to our Lord!"
@DashBolt
I honestly think that might have been the inspiration for the chant of the Axis of Righteousness
"Who are we?!"
"The necessary evil!"
"Why are we necessary?"
"To purge the world of evil worse than man!"
"And why are we, God’s chosen few, ordained to undertake this unholy task?"
"Because no one else will!"
"AND BECAUSE IT’S FUCKING FUN!"
"AMEN" crazed laughter
