ANOMALYS - Down The Hole LP
The original incarnation of Amsterdam’s THE ANOMALYS was a concept to behold: uniformly towering and chiseled, and as savage on stage as a band could be. They also produced only one full-length in ten years of existence, with a few EP’s to keep the fans drooling in vain in anticipation of that next album.
Their current line-up with long time Conductor-in-Chief Bone, featuring Looch Vibrato (Magnetix) and Remi Lucas (Weird Omen) has graced Slovenly with an EP and an album (2019 and 2022 respectively), and have wasted minimal time putting together this Down the Hole LP.
The rock’n’roll heebie jeebies are in full force this round, with more fuzz, distortion, speed, vitriol, and sheer VOLUME than we ever thought attainable. Sometimes predictable on past efforts (but always a good time, natch), the troopers are completely unhinged and gloriously messy here, while retaining that peculiar formula that makes and keeps them undeniably ANOMALYS.
