1) Anomaly is Death metal band from Lithuania (Klaipėda), band was formed in 1993 and expressed its brutal ideas on a full-length debut album "Disforic Agony", released in 1996. In 1997 ANOMALY performed at "Naujas Kraujas (New Blood)" festival where the band's musical skills were evaluated against other fresh bands from Lithuanian undeground scene. ANOMALY played a lot of gigs, sharing stage with HYPOCRISY, KRABATHOR, MERESSIN, RUINATION, SHADOWDANCES, and KATEDRA among others. However, due to pesonal reasons the bandmembers stopped common creative activity in 1998. The years of silence did not go in vain. Vocalist Andrius (Graindas) played bass guitar in THE PERPLEXX, while Valentinas (Valiokas) continued songwriting and introduced his project CHAIN OF EVENTS. As all of the bandmembers remained good friends, there were rumours about ANOMALY coming back to life. Finally, in the summer of 2008, ten years after the break up Graindas (vocals), Valiokas (guitar) and Mamertonis (drums) started rehearsing again. Former bass player Gumis was substituted with Regis (ex-DARK SIDE) while the place of guitarist Liucifer was taken by Audrius (Bezdukas) from temporarily suspended band MOOD. Currently ANOMALY is intensively creating and rehearsing, looking forward to justifying their well earned reputation as brutal death metal masters.
2) Anomaly (real name Jason Heinrichs) is a producer/musician/DJ based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He's worked with Brother Sun Sister Moon featuring Barb Cohen and Paul Robb from Information Society, he's jammed with Prince, bassist Anthony Cox and Slug of Atmosphere at the Groove Garden jams.
He's remixed Kelley Deal of the Breeders and Atmosphere. He's currently producing and DJing house with his group Roomsa featuring Lady Sarah and downtempo project Anomaly featuring vocalist Bethany.
3) ANOMALY are a 4-member Dutch band whose style deftly combines prog metal, fusion and classical themes, with a focus on electric guitar and keyboards. Their music often sounds improvised and takes a while to sink in, but their compositions are mature, the arrangements sophisticated, and the overall effect is a perfect blend of beauty and strength - a combination of jazz and metal elements that sounds totally natural. Although hailed as the Dutch LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT, they definitely have a style of their own. The band consists of keyboard player Ivar Pijper and guitarist Rory Hansen who both write all of the bands' compositions, and of John Aponno on bass as well as John Paul Muñoz on drums.
4) Anomaly is a producer from Chicago, USA. His music is a mellow melodic mix of samples and synthesis.
5) A progressive 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. 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 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.
6) Anomaly is an amateur musician from Russia, Moscow. The core of his work is dedicated to the network game "Бойцовский Клуб" (Fight Club), which was extremely popular with the russians up to now. The plots of his tracks and all the characters are the legendary ones and are taken from the history of this game.
Unfortunately no single song was released and this once again underlined a concern for music rather than for a commercial interest. Thus
a set of lone records are walking about the internet)
7) Anomaly was also a short lived progressive rock super group consisting of vocalist Jim Dorian, percussionist Sean Reinert, bassist Sean Malone and guitarist Jim Studnicki. They released one album in 1998, titled Anomaly.
8) Anomaly is the alter ego of Thorleifur Gislason, Icelandic electronica composer.
Ensnared
Anomaly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dream 'cause no one is near me
I'm falling, falling
and awake from a deep cold swear
Abandon this feeling
When will you be coming home?
A light in a a dark room
And I'm obsessed with the fire
I need to know why
Your candle's still burning
How did I get so ensnared
You, you've got me in the palm of your hand
These same four wall drive me crazy
I sit and stare out the window
The look on the faces
tell more than they care to
Where does the mirror lie?
It's screaming out to me
get out of here fast
get your mind off the past
But I'm alone in a crowded room
I need to know why
your candle's still burning
How did I get so ensnared?
Feels like I'm dying in your web
spinning around in my head
Don't leave me hanging alone, alone
by a thread
You're just like a fix I need
and will you make me bleed?
You ripped me down to my soul
and now you're gone
The opening lines of Anomaly's song "Ensnared" express the feeling of loneliness and isolation. The singer feels like their voice is lost in the vastness and nobody can hear them. With nobody to talk to, he is left to his own thoughts, which drive him to desperation. He is falling, and this trip doesn't seem to end, no matter how much he tries to escape the feeling. But just when he is at his lowest point, he wakes up, and the cold sweat that covers his body reminds him of what he is trying to escape. He hopes to abandon the feeling and find someone who can take away his despair.
The chorus indicates that the singer is obsessed with a person who has left him entranced. He asks why their candle is still burning, implying that the person cares about him but is not there for him. He feels ensnared - captured and trapped - in their grip, unable to escape.
In the second verse, the singer is in a room with four walls that drive him crazy. He looks out of the window, searching for something to hold onto to pass the time. He observes the people around him, analyzing their expressions, which he interprets as concealing more than they are willing to admit. The mirror appears to be mocking him for his inability to escape his mental demons. The singer is alone in a room full of people, captive of his thoughts.
In the bridge section, the singer expresses his dependence on the person who has control over him. He feels like he is dying in their web, spinning around in circles without making any headway. He asks them not to leave him hanging by a thread.
Overall, "Ensnared" is a melancholic song about feeling trapped and alone. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt like their situation is hopeless and that they are powerless to change it.
