Anonymus (Canadian Metal Band):
After the release of their critically acclaimed top 10 albums, Anonymus have enjoyed nationwide success. The band has sold no less than 30,000 albums, appeared in many videos and in several movie and TV soundtracks. Their career has been marked by a never ending journey of pure sweat and determination.
The Anonymus philosophy is simple; Do or Die Friendship. The bands success and evolution is directly attributed to this way of life. From their first meeting in grade school Carlos Araya (drums), Marco Calliari (guitar and vocals) with twin brothers Daniel (guitar) and Oscar Souto (bass and vocals) have developed a tight symbiosis. All this energy has been channeled to produce a powerful and furious gust of Metal.
Anonymus boldly reached for a larger international market with "Instinct", who was produced by British studio wiz Colin Richardson (Slipknot, Machine Head, Fear Factory...). The album covers the classic metal gambit while being fed by experimental doses of hardcore and opera. This breakthrough CD revealed the band's true and exciting potential. In support for the album the band toured relentlessly and eventually crossed the pond to Europe where they toured with Watcha (Sony) and Out (Roadrunner).
"Daemonium" was released in 2002. The band renewed with nationwide success by topping the charts and was made top ten album of the year by many Metal radio stations across Canada. The video "Why be the judge" was released and aired by Muchmusic, MusiquePlus, and other broadcasters. The band toured Nationwide and drew attention by producing their own show in Montreal's Metropolis in front of 2000 fans.
A special side project called "L'Academie du Massacre" was released in 2003 in which Anonymus combined its efforts with insane folk singer; Mononc'Serge. The CD would find no less than 15000 takers and a massive tour took 18 months to complete. A Live DVD has just been released.
During this same year, Oscar and Carlos started a new side project, this time with Joey Belladonna (Ex-Anthrax at the time). Together they toured the U.S. and Canada. The band wrote the bulk of the material for a new Belladonna album. The project unfortunately had to be postponed due to Joey's comeback with Anthrax.
The band has released in Canada their new album "Chapter Chaos begins" on October 24, 2006. Ten new aggressive songs have made their way to the final cut. The album was produced by Jean-Francois Dagenais (Kataklysm, Misery Index...) and mastered by Peter In de Betou (Meshuggah, Dimmu Borgir...).
After a search that lasted several months, Anonymus announced that Jef Fortin is officially the band's new guitar player. Carlos Araya states that his new partner "is all about rock! He brings new influences and freshness to the band's sound. He has been touring with us for five years; he is already part of the family".

Anonymus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why just tell me why
Do i have to tell you everything twice
Why just tell me why
Do I have to tell you everything ... everything twice
You don't listent me
You just don't care to see
Shaking your whole world is shaking
Mistake after mistake, you're going down
Faking... this misunderstanding
Breaking your back, nothing in return
Time and time, you're taking to much time
Cross the line, you're commithing a crime
Ain't so bad when they tell you what to do
But it got worst when they are running after you
Hide, I can see why you hide
Behind a mask, a cheap, a fake, such a disguise
I can see why you're blind, dying to see
Wich way to serenity
Holding the flag in the air
Nothing here his changed
Fasting...flabours infesting
Guess you don't know wwhat the hell is going on
Graving...lazy you're getting
No looking back point of no return
Sin on sin, the deevil is coming in
Getting in, crawling under your skin
Ain't so bad when they, tell you whant to do
But it got worst when are running after you
I see, your lies, the way your looking at me
Your smile, black tooth, a stain an the portrait
You're not taking anyking of shortcuts
Straight, over limit, got no contrtol
Turning everyone and everything completely nuts
Your world is spinning around and around
(why just tell me why, just tell me why)
Around and around the world is spinning
(Why just tell me why, just tell me why)
Got no right to tell you what to do
But down do it right, the next time I'm asking you
The song "Twice" by Anonymus is an emotional outpouring about frustration and helplessness. The song's lyrics convey how the singer is at their wit's end trying to convey their thoughts to someone who does not seem to listen. The singer's inner turmoil is evident in the repeated line, "Why just tell me why, do I have to tell you everything twice?" The singer is pleading with the person to listen to them and understand how they feel.
The song's chorus showcases the singer's frustration, pointing out the listener's lack of interest, "You don't listen to me, you just don't care to see what lies beneath." According to the singer, the listener makes mistake after mistake, following which they begin to shake, "Shaking your whole world is shaking Mistake after mistake, you're going down." The singer believes that the listener is slowly losing control and failing to achieve what they set out to do.
In the verse where the singer talks about the listener hiding, they admit that people wear masks and fake personalities. The words "I can see why you're blind, dying to see which way to serenity." is the singer's way of saying that the listener is looking for peace despite not being honest. The song's bridge talks about how the listener seems to be making poor choices, and it is leading to their downfall. The line, "No looking back point of no return," is a telling reminder of the listener's predicament.
