Hailing from the Azores Islands, Death/Gothic Metal sounding Anomally sprung up in 2005 and immediately launched for greatness!

After having their initial start recorded in an auto-produced promo-CD, the band started to work on “Once in Hell…”, the long awaited first real recording. Influenced by the likes of Paradise Lost and Dark Tranquillity, Anomally recorded 8 tracks at Watt Studio, to include the familiar “Apocalyptic Signs” and the successful “I am God”, previously demoed for a promotional disc. João Mendes produced, mixed, and mastered the album, which was released on 31 October 2008.

In their still short career, Anomally have already stacked greatness, having being granted as “Best New Band” by the regional media in the year immediately after their setup, the “Best Rock/Metal Band” award in the Azores Music Awards in 2007, the "Best Azorean Band" in the Metalicidio Awards in 2009; Appearances have also been teeming, by lining up local festivals as the International Metal Festival (graced with the presence of the French Dagoba and the German Fear My Thoughts; “Alta Tensão Festival” (boasting the presence of the Dutch Mnemic, and locals Morbid Death, Reaktor, Concealment, and ForGodSake; “Azure Festival”, supporting Kalashnikov; and the biggest regional festival – “Angra Rock”, in which they supported Portuguese great RAMP.
