History and miscellaneous:

Anonymus is a French Canadian Thrash Metal band formed in 1989 by Vocalist/Guitarist Marco Calliari. After one demo in '92, they released their first album Ni Vu, Ni Connu, who sold 3,000 copies whitout being even being in music stores, because they had already a reputation in the industry. Three years later, the band released the album Stress, their first album of many where they had lyrics more than in French. The name of the album means that they had limited time to record the album, so they had stress while rushing to finish the production of the album. Then two years later in '99, they recorded another album called Instinct with a special mixer: Colin Richardson, a guy who worked with many bands before. They then released over the course of the next years albums like Daemonium in 2002, back with a Quebecer producer this time and a first one recorded with a special guest called Mononc' Serge, the album is called L'Académie du Massacre. Then, in '06, they decided to release an album without Marco who went on a solo career out of Metal music. The album is Chapter Chaos Begin. After another collaboration with Mononc' Serge for the album Musique Barbare in 2008, they then recorded their last album to date in 2011 called L'État Brute. Currently, the band is in studio to record their next album, and there is rumours that the band is with Marco again but this is not confirmed yet.

The band wrote lyrics in various languagues. they wrote them in French, English, Spanish and even Italian.

Former member, Marco Calliari is now a popular solo artist in Quebec since he left Anonymus in 2006. He plays Italian kind of music and he gained popularity over the years due to his origins.
