Anachronist Talks New Album ‘For The Time Being’ [INTERVIEW]
The Anachronist is a creature displaced in time. Almost nothing is left of his original form, as he exists in a constant state of mechanical reinvention. He observes his surroundings, and, through music, expresses them throughout time and space.

Bring Me The Horizon and a Large, Light-up Square at the Armory

The true meaning is “someone who keeps doing an act to endure a high.” Yet it can be used as a comical escape to describe to a lifestyle or happenings. An example […] More
