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 Pablo (Pablo X, King Kahn Ltd) 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, and MOTHERFUCKER THIS IS THE ANOMALYS LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD THEM BEFORE. 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. In embarking on this new approach, our troopers are completely unhinged and gloriously messy here, while retaining that peculiar formula that makes and keeps them undeniably ANOMALYS.
