Canadian thrash legends Anonymus will be releasing their 12th album “La Bestia” on June 12th via label Bam&co Heavy. Known for their discography of both French and English releases, “La Bestia”
is their first full length that will be completely in Spanish. You may
be asking why a Spanish album? Well since 3/4 of the band speaks
Spanish. Drummer Carlos Araya is Chilean born, and Oscar (Lead Vocals
and Bass) and Dan Souto (Guitars and Backing Vocals) are sons of Spanish
immigrants it was time to make one.
The album's tracks were produced mainly by guitarist Jef Fortin as well as Colin Richardson who also produced 1999's 'Instinct' and Jean-Francois Dagenais (Kataklysm) who produced 2006's 'Chapter Chaos Begins'. The album also features the bilingual song “Violencia Versus Violence” with the participation of Carlos Maldos of Lethal Creation (MX) and Arno Dhenain Le Bourhis of Black Bomb A (FR) along with a second bilingual track “Tierra” with Marco Calliari singing in Italian.

Anonymus explains their thoughts on the release:
“We
always try to surpass ourselves as musicians and we always try to write
the best songs we can. It’s important to be loyal to what we do but we
listen to the new bands and how the metal scene evolves. I think over
the years we can feel an evolution in the band’s sound.”
Today, the band unveils their music video for their second single“Terremoto” produced by Kataklysm's Jef Dagenais.
The band comments about the track:
"This one is a comparison between an earthquake and a man who deals with his problems like a shaking bull! The lyrics came with the title so it started from there. Sometimes a discussion doesn’t bring the solution, so you have to shake things up. Nothing more to say!"

About:
Anonymus
is a Canadian thrash metal band that explodes on stage with each
presence, that pulls you in with its passion and that yells at you with
corrosive and violent texts that will not leave anyone indifferent.
Since
their first release in 1994, Anonymus has made its mark on the Quebec
music scene. From the beginning, the group has been well received while
demonstrating its brutal sound and technique that has continually
evolved over the years. Oscar Souto (vocals, bass) Daniel Souto (guitar,
vocals) Carlos Araya (drums), Jef Fortin (guitar since 2006) and Marco
Calliari (vocals, guitar from 1994 to 2006) have since widely traveled
the roads of their country, participated in the deprivation of
Mononc’Serge and continue today to ignite stages everywhere they go.
These veterans of the metal scene continue to proudly carry the torch
after 20 years of chaos and barbaric music.
Forever
hungry for metal, everyone in Anonymus brings ideas to the table.
Sometimes it is a whole song or just the beginnings of one, yet together
the band works to create a full thrashy anthem from the pieces, working
on it until it is complete. The music always comes first, and when the
ambiance is formulated, the lyrics, which come from a personal place and
from current events, can be added.
Unstoppable
and indestructible, inspired by bands like Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth,
and Anthrax; Anonymus is nothing short of the powerful, aggressive and
technical thrash metal that they have been refining for decades
exemplified on their impressive discography of both French and English
releases, which includes: “Ni vu, ni connu” (1994); Stress (1996);
Instinct (1999); Daemonium (2002); Academie du Massacre (2003); Chapter
Chaos Begins (2006); Musique Barbare (2008); État Brute (2011); Envers
et contre tous (2015); P.O.M.M.E (2017); Sacrifices (2019); and their
first ever Spanish album La Bestia (2020) due out June 12 via label
Bam&co Heavy.
Today,
Anonymus does not need a presentation. This institution of the Quebec
metal industry has been offering for twenty-six years, a passion for
dark notes and unrivaled power. The offer is still valid. With more than
1500 career shows under their belt, Anonymus is completely in their
element when performing in front of fans, they offer only their absolute
best ensuring the crowd is moving. Having shared the stage with metal
great such as Anthrax, Cannibal Corpse, and Kataklysm at festivals such
as Heavy Montreal, Montebello, and through international tours, they are
no strangers to a wild show.
ANONYMUS FOLLOWS ITS PATH, AGAINST ALL ODDS!
