BIOGRAPHY:

Andy Wit (ex-Once Begotten, ex-Dictated (tour-bassist), the driving force behind ANCHILLYS, took ten years to make his debut album. He first locked himself in the bedroom of his childhood home, then fought sleepless nights in a 19th century rehearsal bunker writing and recording what would become ‘Elan Vital’. Through determination and a demanding work ethic, Wit developed as a musician and producer, honing his craft of the most brutal and technical aspects of the death metal genre. 

Musically, ANCHILLYS takes no prisoners on ‘Elan Vital’ to set a blasting, pounding and slamming tone according to old-school metal tradition – with a nod to the contemporary variant. With the aim of providing the listener with a heavy portion of maniacal aggression, stubbornness and melancholy. Lyrically, Wit explores his own love – hate relationship with human existence. Inspired by an inner meditative odyssey, he says he dragged his lyrics ‘from the spiritual Gate of Hades’. 
 
‘Elan Vital’ is the tentative end of ANCHILLYS’ quest. But at the same time the starting point of a new phase, in which he wants to make his presence known to the world.
