The project Seismic Anamoly was started in 2002 by Michael S., who lives in Meridian, MS, USA. Seismic Anamoly has been composing and playing music only since 2000, and his work is done primarily utilizing his Peavey EVH Wolfgang, Millennium J Series Bass, and Indianola ER Acoustic. Seismic's arsenal includes tunes that could be classified as Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Guitar and Instrumental Rock and Acoustic, but it is all home-grown Rock n Roll. Relatively new to the scene, Seismic Anamoly has seen his music grow slowly but steadily in popularity.....

Four reviews of Seismic Anamoly:

"A good rhythm and beat is crucial to a song and is a fundamental to lovemaking. So when my head went to bobbing to this cd my girl said it ranked pretty high on the richter scale. It RAWKED, BROTHER!! In fact I think I knocked something loose. Oh wait...There was already something not right about my head! Too much hairspray and 80's Rock will do that to you, I guess. But now about Seismic Anamoly. I have before me 2 separate CD's and one common fact; both are hard to classify. At first I think Heavy Metal, and then I think Dance music.....HUH, you say?! Well, I can see it being both really. But to top it off, it's Instrumental Rock. S.A. has a style very much his own that's technically Metal with nice volume and velocity. I can see myself listening to this music on a long drive when I want to do some thinking without hearing somebody screaming over the music. S.A. has done very well for himself in the way of promotions. I have seen numerous websites that feature his music an d several that have him ranked high on their list. He now ranks high on mine. Check it out for yourself." (K-Man - CD Smash - April, 2003)

"'Howl At Tha Moon' sounds like a Viking Throwdown. Despite no melody, this track manages to be entertaining on sheer energy and heart. This could be the new Indian music, transcendental and good for dancing or meditating while you're ripped out of your brains. The tribal rage will never die. Your playing is all heart and embodies the spirit fully. The style is rendered without the need for fantastic solos or parts. If there were some awesome breaks or beats, differing instruments or passages of different music, there would be more opportunity for glory. But it rocks as is. This is the most straightforward music I've encountered in this genre; call it 'Wordless Rock Groove'." (Music Industry Review, Make-A-Star.com - January, 2003)

"The drums might sound slightly hollow although the musicianship throughout 'Broken Dreams' is fairly solid. You can especially here this in distorted power guitars that enter with the climax around the two-minute mark. This is the point where the song probably takes off and displays the most energy and from here on in it's a great power metal listening experience. For fans of up-and-coming power metal, 'Broken Dreams' is a track that you won't want to miss." (MP3Magazine.net - December, 2002)

"Seismic Anamoly - Instrumental ROCK with heart-pounding guitar licks and steady rhythm. Check out his site and download the tunes. My favorite is 'Just Don't Give A Damn'. Be sure to watch the video 'Hardcore'. This is heavy metal with attitude. It's climbing the MP3 charts and getting airplay in Brazil and Hawaii and you don't want to miss this." (Gin of Arc, CD Smash - September, 2002)

I strive to capture and reflect the styles of Van Halen, Nugent, and Marino in my compositions...hard driving Power Metal/Acoustical..this was the sound that I grew up with and came to love....I still love it today...but make no mistake; Seismic Anamoly is not a hard-core professional - his work is primarily done as a hobby, and he hopes people enjoy it for what it is in general - body-movin', mind-pleasin' metal/rock ear candy.
