The Anima Effect is an independent Progressive Metal act that combines beautiful melodic progressions with dynamic rhythm structures that hit like a ton of bricks.

This Orwellian Themed Progressive Metalcore band reaches across many different genres and styles to combine something entirely unique and authentic. The band wears uniforms not only to pay homage to the novel written by George Orwell but to express their solidarity with the working class of this country, and with all working class people world wide.

Their debut concept album 'Upheaval' was released on November 16th 2017 , following the album drop the band received several positive reviews, including being featured as Artist of The Week on The Circle Pit.

After the release of Upheaval the band began almost immediately writing and recording its follow up record in the form of a 6 track dystopian sci fi concept EP titled ' Terminal Encryption'. The EP was eventually released on February 22nd 2019. The EP features guest performances from Taylor Bates of Your Hands Write History, Katie Thompson (Fallujah Collaborator) and Charles Caswell of Berried Alive

On November 3rd 2020 the band released their next full length album ‘Manifesto’ which is a concept album based on the universe in George Orwell’s 1984, and adapted to represent the current political struggle taking place in America today.
