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.

Anders Manga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somehow makes the bullet softer
Living up to nothing
I wanna shine now
One commands another's offer
Somehow makes the bullet softer
Living up to nothing
See the credits up ahead
I'll swerve
To make my story incomplete
Think I'll just stay awhile
One commands another's offer
Somehow makes the bullet softer
Living up to nothing
I wanna shine now
One commands another's offer
Somehow makes the bullet softer
Living up to nothing
I wanna shine now
See the credits up ahead
I'll swerve
To make my story incomplete
Think I'll just stay awhile
Think I'll just stay awhile
Think I'll just stay awhile
Think I'll just stay awhile
These lyrics depict a sense of rebellion and a desire for recognition and fulfillment. The repetition of the lines "One commands another's offer, Somehow makes the bullet softer" suggests that the singer is in a position of power, able to influence others and manipulate their actions. However, the line "Living up to nothing, I wanna shine now" reveals a dissatisfaction with their current state and a longing for personal success and recognition.
The mention of "credits up ahead" implies that the singer envisions a future where they will be acknowledged and rewarded for their efforts. However, they express uncertainty and a desire to deviate from the expected path, as indicated by the line "I'll swerve to make my story incomplete." This suggests a rejection of conformity and a willingness to challenge traditional narratives or expectations.
The repeated phrase "Think I'll just stay awhile" may allude to the singer's contemplation of their current situation. It could mean that they are unwilling to settle for mediocrity and instead choose to wait and strive for something greater. It might also imply a reluctance to fully commit or make a definitive decision, reflecting a sense of restlessness or the pursuit of personal growth and self-discovery.
Overall, these lyrics convey a yearning for individuality, success, and for breaking free from societal norms. The singer desires to carve their own path and leave a lasting impression, yet they also express a need for reflection and introspection before they make their next move.

This is such a fun interview. This sensei has a super realistic approach to creative work and is methodical as well - like he knows what he is doing and what he is NOT doing, which I think is super important in creating original work.
