GRINDEROS ANARCHOS MEXICOS!!! Grindcore and Mexico. Extreme to extreme!!! How could this connection not work, when there are already many great bands from Mexico playing at OEF, who have left a deep furrow in the Battlefield. And some are even returning, which is the case of the grindy ANARCHUS, who return to annual Obscene Extreme after six years!!! One of the oldest grindcore bands on the South American continent, they were formed in 1987 and since then, their music hasn't changed, maybe they've just become better masters of their instruments!!!
ANARCHUS play really straight forward grindcore, no frills and as raging as only South American bands can!!! Life in a country ruled by corruption and narco cartels is not be real fun!!! This will not be a white line fever but a grindcore hell!!!
Bio
The history of Anarchus begins in 1987 in Mexico City with the following members: Pancho-Bass and screams Adolfo-Drums, Miguel Guerrero-Guitar.
In November 1988 the first demo of the band ("Total Hate") was recorded, followed in 1990 -and already with Julio Alvarez as second guitar- of the first EP: "Final Fall of the Gods" with Rigid Records U.S.A. By then the band was invited to play in a lot of shows in México City and in some states of the country.
Both recordings get good reviews both in Mexico and in other countries and by May of that year (1990) the group makes its first mini tour outside of Mexico in Tampa, Florida to promote the EP, playing with Assuck and Paineater.
As a result of the good response received by both the demo and the E.P. from 1988 Anarchus begins to receive invitations to play in almost all the country. In 1991 Miguel Angel Cortes "Thrasher" joined to the band first in the bass first, then the guitar and in 1992 Jaime "El Abuelo" enters too in the as drummer.
Some time a little later there were also several changes in the line-up due a lot of complications, which resulted in some instability, although the band never stopped playing and recording since then and to date (this year the band celebrates 35 years of existence).
In 2004 the Anarchus made a very extensive and successful tour of Japan (there were 13 dates in nine cities, 4 of them in Tokyo).
In July 2017 Anarchus participates in the "Obscene Extreme Fest" in the Czech Republic, in 2018 in the "Earslaughter Fest" in Montreal, Canada and in 2019 a mini-tour is carried out along the northeast coast of the United States covering Cleveland, Maryland., Brooklyn and Binghamton in all cases with a very good response from the people.
Anarchus has alternated with bands like Sodom, Napalm Death, Sepultura, Dark Angel, Nocturnus, Exodus, Fear Factory, Assuck, Paineater, Sadistic Intent, Phobia, Mortician, Krabathor, Master, Nausea, Terrorizer L.A., Haggus, Heinous, Blood, Nunslaughter., Squash Bowels, Butcher ABC, Ruin, Rigor Mortis, Disgorge (U.S.A), Rattos de Porao, Cripple Bastards and Avulsed among others.
At this moment the band is preparing the recording the next year of a new album and also an European Tour.
Current lineup:
Pancho - Screams
Miguel "Thrasher" - Guitar and bass (in the recordings).
Grandpa - Drums
Kriz Ramirez - Bass
