Anomic is a force to be reckoned with. Founded by Dutch/Syrian guitarist and vocalist Raafat "Raaf" Atasi, the band blends the fury of Thrash with the unrelenting brutality of Death Metal, creating a sound that is both punishing and addictive. After leaving the German thrash outfit War Agenda in August 2023, Raaf wasted no time channeling his creative fire into Anomic. He channeled a multitude of influences, resulting in the band's debut EP, "Opacity". This 3-track sonic assault tackles existential themes like conformity, war, insanity, and apocalypse. Raaf wasn't alone in this sonic crusade. He enlisted his old friend Fadi Massamiri to join the band as bassist and second vocalist, with Fadi also taking the reins on mixing and mastering "Opacity". To solidify their rhythm section, the band recruited the legendary Krzysztof Klingbein (live drummer for Vader, Belphegor, and Hate) to lay down the punishing drum tracks on the EP. Additionally, the monstrous vocals of Stefan Nordström guest star on the track "On Deaf Ears", add an extra layer of malevolent fury. |
