Anbaric was founded in Borås, Sweden 2016 by guitarist and composer Kimmo Komulainen. The name itself means electric and this is what Anbaric is all about; straight forward, energetic hard rock with a twist. Kimmo has long nurtured a dream to put a band together and channel his many musical ideas, both in the studio and on stage. The result, after many hours of hard work recording, is the powerful debut album Illusion of the Holy. A single and video of the title track with be released February 17th and the full album about a month later. Illusion of the Holy also features Jen Majura from Evanescence on guest vocals and, as strange as it may appear, guitar hero Mattias IA Eklundh on… drums! After a change of lead singer, bass and drums Anbaric are eagerly awaiting their second album featuring the work of Mattias IA Eklundh (of Freak Kitchen fame) and guest appearances from Jocke Berg (Hardcore Superstars). Watch for their first single” Grand Innovations” on their album released in September. Line-up! Kim Andrei – vocals/bass Kimmo Komulainen – guitar/vocals Mika Vainio – drums/vocals

Anbaric – Nervous System – THUNDERSTRUCK – Hardly defined melodic hard rock
Freak Kitchen’s guitar wizard Mattias “IA” Eklundh is a good drummer too. As evidenced by Anbaric’s new album, Borås trio’s fifth since guitarist Kimmo Komulainen decided in 2016 to resume music-making in his older days. In all modesty, to be sure, Anbaric is nonetheless a competent band and also sounds personal, though it’s not entirely easy to pinpoint how.
Perhaps the thing is that the elements of the sound hold together better than they superficially should. We’re talking traditional melodic hard rock, muted metal thunder à la the mid-90s and something akin to the reasonably commercial prog of the 80s. Indeed, without sounding like Phil Collins, singer (and bassist) Kim Andrei wouldn’t have seemed out of place in any constellation in the vein of said era’s hit-seeking Genesis.
“Nervous System” is interesting, compelling and an easy record to like. To call it fantastic might be an exaggeration, but the song list in general and “False idols” in particular don’t come laughably far off. – ERIK THOMPSON
“In 1987 we won a competition of the Rock-SM in Borås with the band Remain” Kimmo Komulainen, Anbaric
You promote yourselves as Finnish rock from Sweden. What is Finnish about your rock?
-Me and the singer and bassist Kim Andrei are both Finnish, so it was natural, says guitarist Kimmo Komulainen. We are still a bit patriotic and on “Anbaric” from 2019 we also have a song called “Sisu”. – Then it’s a bit melancholic,” says Kim. It’s typical Finnish melodies.
Freak Kitchen’s guitarist Mattias “IA” Eklundh is back on drums on the new album “Nervous system”? Is he a permanent member?
-No, but he’s helping us out again, says Kimmo. We record everything at his place anyway, so it was a natural fit. We’re looking for a new drummer but as long as he’s with us we might not be looking feverishly.
Apart from him, everyone who has played in Anbaric has been of Finnish descent. Do you have to be Finnish to play in Anbaric?
-We’ve actually discussed whether Mattias should be included or not,” laughs Kimmo. He must have some Finnish relatives. – Otherwise, the proposal is that we rename him Matti, says Kim.
Hardcore Superstars singer Jocke Berg has also visited you before. Since he’s employed by your painting company, Kimmo, will he be fired if he doesn’t show up?
-It’s in the contract, says Kimmo. If he comes and asks for a benefit car or something, I just say ‘no, no, you have to sing first’. Joking aside, we actually didn’t even think to ask him this time. But we’ve already released the first song from the next album, which will be called “Generator”, and then we’ll see if we let him in again.
When you started Anbaric in 2016, you hadn’t touched a guitar in 25 years and now you’ve been releasing a song and accompanying video a month since January 2020. Is it all those years of creativity coming out now?
-Yes, it seems so. I don’t always know where all these riffs come from. It it’s like I’ve got them stored in a bank in the back of my head and now when I have timeI’ll release as much as I can. That was my dream as a youngster anyway. In 1987we won a part of the Rock-SM in Borås with Remain, but when we went out in the next stage, the band died. Then I started my own company at the age of 21 and it took all my time. But now I’ve sold it and have more time for music.
So now you’re fucking going to be rock stars?
– Hell, yeah, we gotta get there before Kim passes away. He’s over 60 anyway. – I don’t have many years left, Kim laughs. We’ve got to get out there and tour.

Anbaric was founded in Borås, Sweden 2016 by guitarist and composer Kimmo Komulainen. The name itself means electric and this is what Anbaric is all about; straight forward, energetic hard rock with a twist. Kimmo has long nurtured a strong wish to put a band together and channel his many musical ideas, both in the studio and on stage. The result, after many hours of hard work recording, is five powerful albums and a sixth in the works.
Kimmo says “I have always had a deep interest in music but never actually gotten around to do something real about it, until now. It’s been a dream for such a long time to throw myself out there, make professional records, perform and really give it a go. But not until this stage in my life have I been confident enough to make a stand, change my life radically, quit the daily grind and sink my teeth into this on a full-time basis. I realize it is a tough business but I need to do it to stay sane and get all the songs that've been buried inside out, to be creative and simply see where this leads. You never know… Some things in life you simply have to go for. There is no option”.
Nervous System is no less than the fifth album in a row! The debut album, “Illusion Of The Holy” was released in 2017. Now the juices have been flowing constantly since and Anbaric have been making one track (and video) a month for several years, resulting in the self-titled album “Anbaric” (2019), “The Year Of Anbaric” (2020), “360” (2021) and now “Nervous System” (2022). As the band is currently looking for a new drummer, no one less than Mattias IA Eklundh from Freak Kitchen is helping out behind the kit meanwhile for good fun.

New year. New inspiration. We are not slowing down one bit. Juices are flowing, big time. Anbaric will once again write, produce and record one original song each month throughout 2023. We call this album "Generator".
Hope you like the ride as much as we like putting it together. Thank you. First song and video out “The Alarmist”
