The origins of Anomalous date as far back as the fall of 1996, when founding members Tim Hale and Max Magoo Seeman were but wee lads. They met at middle school and during a discussion of their musical tastes had agreed that Nine Inch Nails and Tool rawked. During this time Max and Tim decided to start parading around in black clothes sporting industrial boots and black nail polish because this was kewl. They even decided to record a demo under the guise Unnatural Selection, which featured Tim doing his best Marilyn Manson impression and Max recording clean blues songs that really did not mesh very well together. Some demos are probably still floating around today, but if you find one and claim it's them they will deny it or pretend like they did not hear you.

Time passed and Tim and Max were eventually over the whole industrial thang (as was the rest of the world). Tim traveled the world, learned how to rope flies and came back home bearing gifts. No, actually he downloaded (I mean...bought!) some Cannibal Corpse songs from home and was utterly fascinated by the sheer brutality of it all. Meanwhile, Max was content playing along with Pink Floyd tunes and sparkin' up a doob. Thus, it was Tim's job to shove his newly discovered metal influences (including Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan and Cryptopsy) down Max's throat until he liked it. This eventually proved successful, and around summer of 2001, Tim and Max began to write music that eventually mutated into Anomalous.

During the next few years, Anomalous acquired a drummer and even played a few shows without a vocalist or bassist in the summer of 2004. Following these gigs however, their former drummer was fed up with Tim's pedantic obsession with double kick and his overall gayness. He quit and was replaced with another drummer who evetually tired of striving to play brutal double kick when he really wanted to play jazz fusion rock. It was in early 2005, the same year Anomalous acquired the talents of a certain Nate Vennarucci to play bass, that Tim and Max decided to take fate into their own hands and program the goddamn FUCKING drums. Fuck. Ten years later Tim popped out three songs of fake drums. Anomalous is currently looking for someone who isn't a prick who can play stupidly fast and retardedly controlled skins. Anomalous is probably also currently insane.
