Until recently I had no idea what a male album could sound like and if there was such a thing at all. ANOMALY showed me with "Between The Light" that such a thing exists and how it sounds. Marrok, the creator of the project, doesn't have to ask for directions, he knows where to go and that's what you can hear in his songs. The testosterone on this work ensures that the male attributes come to light like clarity, self-confidence, strength. All this is underlined by beautiful melodies. Aggressions and wild drudgery are searched for in vain, but on the other hand one finds sovereignty and strength to be able to show emotions without being a wimp. Now one can lose oneself in thinking about whether Marrok doesn't have to ask for the way, because he has a navigation system. Are the songs so sovereign because he was raised by wolves and he learned to imitate the Alpha? Maybe he's Conan's prodigal son. Yeah, maybe. Perhaps it's also because the Austrian has been involved in various music projects such as TULSADOOM, SELBSTENTLEIBUNG and HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY for many years and ANOMALIE as his solo project benefits especially from his experience. Post Black Metal meets Depressive Rock, there's nothing standing in the way of the thoughtless swaying. If you like melodic riffs, logical song progressions, bad mood in a depressive mood and nice artwork, you should definitely buy this record. Enough with half things and musical question marks,"Between The Light" is the exclamation point. The fact that Marrok likes to make clear announcements is also evident in ANOMALIE @Facebook. There he expresses that it is a real waste of time for readers and reviewers, if the author at best only hears himself half-heartedly into the album and then has already formed an opinion, has done bad research and is not even able to write a text without mistakes. I thought briefly about misspelling the name at least once.... but since the theory that he might be Conan's prodigal son has somehow got stuck with me, I'd rather refrain from it.
