Information:
When Heiner (drums) and Mike (bass, guitar, vocals) left the legendary Vomiting Corpses in 1995, all they knew was that they wanted to do their own thing.
Only five days later, the two recorded their first demo, "Condemned Truth," which contained five songs written in that short time.
The lineup changed, and in 1996 Anasarca, with Herb on drums, Frank on guitar, Chris on bass, and Mike on guitar and vocals, recorded their second demo, "Godmachine," which contained three songs and led to a record deal with Repulse Records (Spain).
In 1998, their debut album, GODMACINE, was released. The band gained their first international experience, and in 2001, with Benny on guitar, their second album, MORIBUND (Mighty Music, Denmark), followed, bringing the band international recognition and receiving considerable praise from the German media.
In 2004, their third full-length album, DYING (Mighty Music, Denmark), was released. Mike and Herb recorded it as a duo and performed it live with Joschi Wang on second guitar. The band then went on hiatus until 2012, before releasing their fourth album, SURVIVAL MODE, in 2017 via the US label Sevared Records. In addition to Dirk on drums, Carsten and Steffen on guitars, and Mike on bass and vocals, they secured Kam Lee (Death, Massacre, etc.) for guest vocals on the title track.
The current lineup with Alf (drums), Carsten (guitar), Björn (bass) and Mike (guitar/vocals) recorded the fifth album ACHLYS in 2025, which is currently awaiting release.
