Satan Stole My Teddybear
new 3/2/04

Colorado's Anomy is one of the other potential breakthrough metal acts that Denver features. The band's first release, Disquietude, is a pretty solid work that could find quite a bit of appeal worldwide with a little exposure. So consider this review the equivalent of Disquietude appearing in a trenchcoat in a park, showing its compact disc hole to strangers... [Read Full Review]

The Metal Gospel
new 3/2/04

"Disquietude" is the follow up to their 2001 demo entitled "Promulgations Of A Self-Consuming Misanthrope" and features a full bodied sound courtesy of a decent production and caskading textures permeating throughout... [Read Full Review]

Hammerhead Zine
new 3/2/04

Anomy are trying to blend a few different styles that stew nicely. The music sorta reminds me of the stripped down Entombed with vocals that cross from the likes of Carcass sounding and then some real vocals. They aren't trying to be the next anything, they seem to want to make it sound a bit off... [Read Full Review]

These guys are very impressive with their style & sound. It's hard to blend this many styles & do it right. Anomy does it quite well & better than the majority of the bands out there now... [Read Full Review]

Metal Maniacs
new 9/3/03

Wholly slowed down and set in more of a plodding than pummeling atmosphere rather than battlefield, we have here 10 mentally teasing tracks plentiful in interesting dark guitars and forthright drumming, forming patterns that flow in and out of both sorrowful and victorious overall energy, but all staying on the darker side of things...

When you throw this album "disquietude" into the CD tray and hit play to sit back and listen to something new and different - not knowing what to expect really - and suddenly getting a surge of gratifying contempt as heavy, dark and elluring music fills the hot stuffy summer air - THIS album is what real dark and heavy music is made of...

The Metal Observer
Germany
new 7/28/03

Because of the many different elements that the trio from Colorado merges into its sound, at times they almost step over into the field of Progressive Metal, but ultimate they manage to form a pretty cohesive whole, which lives off one thing mostly, emotions. This is maybe the biggest factor in the sound of ANOMY to make them stand apart from many of their counterparts... [Read Full Review]

Shouts Of Metal
Peru
new 7/28/03

Finding influences of alternative metal, but not ending up abusing of it, alone in the rhythmic guitars, this trio has an overwhelming force, 10 topics with pure feeling and innovation desires... [Read Full Review]

Score Music Magazine
new 7/28/03

Anomy is good old-school metal, full-flavored for a three-piece, with aggressive grooves. Dark lyrics that sometimes border on goth, this band goes well with Type O Negative's newest offering... [Read Full Review]

Metal Reviews
new 6/30/03

If there is one aspect of Anomy's music that stand out above all else, it is the emotional impact of the music. From the very beginning of the CD, the listener is engulfed in the melancholic, sometimes angry tone of the music that is delivered with passion... [Read Full Review]

new 6/26/03

Behind the monicker of Anomy it hides a trio of US metalheads, all coming from Colorado, and who, like their biography remarks, have been existing since 1992. That behind this "Disquietude" there's a big work and a big experience is evident from the first tunes... [Read Full Review]

Transcending The Mundane
new 6/3/03

Reading the Anomy biography, terms like progressive dark metal and renaissance metal are used to describe their original sound. They are accurate but fail to show the whole picture of what this Colorado trio is all about... [Read Full Review]

new 5/25/03

Here's a band from Denver Colorado who proves that having a diverse background makes for interesting subject matter in songwriting. The members have occupations that you wouldn't expect from a metal band, like a pre-school teacher, figure skater, and a chemist! These guys definitely keep things original with a dark and moody sound that is their own... [Read Full Review]

Behind The Veil
Greece
new 5/22/03

Anomy are a 3 piece band that managed to compose extraordinary music, out of the limits, something that you don't get to listen to everyday. I don't think it's easy to desrcibe and categorize it. Giving a label would be so restricting for the richness and beauty of their sound, for the multitude and diversity of emotions that they are able to create inside of you. [Read Full Review]

Urotsukidoji's Pad
Canada
new 5/13/03

...I would have to say the band lands in the Thrash genre, but they pace their songs a little different compared to their contemporaries. Anomy take it a little slower, happy to gallop along at in a mid tempo range. This is actually very effective, and lets the band spew attitude, right, left and center. [Read Full Review]

Mercurous.net
new 4/22/03

....Each song on this album embodies more passion than most bands can barely pull of in one entire album. The guitars are heavy and deliberate, they play in and out dark, obscurely gothic, into pure, angry metal venturing into saddened slow parts that never grow tired or boring. [Read Full Review]
