After the release of their critically acclaimed top 10 albums, Anonymus have enjoyed nationwide success. The band has sold no less than 30,000 albums, appeared in many videos and in several movie and TV soundtracks. Their career has been marked by a never ending journey of pure sweat and determination. This Montreal based band's passion remains very palpable as witnessed by metalheads in over 650 concerts worldwide.

The Anonymus philosophy is simple; Do or Die Friendship. The bands success and evolution is directly attributed to this way of life. From their first meeting in grade school Carlos Araya (drums), Marco Calliari (guitar and vocals) with twin brothers Daniel (guitar) and Oscar Souto (bass and vocals) have developed a tight symbiosis. All this energy has been channeled to produce a powerful and furious gust of Metal.

Anonymus boldly reached for a larger international market with "Instinct", who was produced by British studio wiz Colin Richardson (Slipknot, Machine Head, Fear Factory...). The album covers the classic metal gambit while being fed by experimental doses of hardcore and opera. This breakthrough CD revealed the band's true and exciting potential. In support for the album the band toured relentlessly and eventually crossed the pond to Europe where they toured with Watcha (Sony) and Out (Roadrunner).

"Daemonium" was released in 2002. The band renewed with nationwide success by topping the charts and was made top ten album of the year by many Metal radio stations across Canada. The video "Why be the judge" was released and aired by Muchmusic, MusiquePlus, and other broadcasters. Touring has always been the best part of Anonymus, giving many sold-out shows. The band toured Nationwide and drew attention by producing their own show in Montreal's Metropolis in front of 2000 fans.

A special side project called "L'Academie du Massacre" was released in 2003 in which Anonymus combined its efforts with insane folk singer; Mononc'Serge. The CD would find no less than 15000 takers and a massive tour took 18 months to complete. This French speaking alliance took the Canadian and French crowds by storm. A Live DVD has just been released and after only one month, 2000 have been sold.

After more than 600 concerts, 5 albums, 9 videos, unforgettable tours, after shows worth of mention and thousands of kilometers traveled together, it's with great sadness but by common agreement that Anonymus and founding member Marco Calliari are now parting ways. For Anonymus, future projects remain unchanged.
