Anthares: Thrash metal band from Morlaix, Brittany. It was in 1994 that Fanfan and Fanch, guitarist and drummer, respectively, formed the group, quickly followed by Phil on bass. An EP produced by Pat O'May was released in 1997. In 1998, a second guitarist joined the trio. They played with Loudblast on the "Fragments" tour. That same year, the group also shared a stage with Pat O'may during the "Kinds And The War" tour. In 1999, the album "Promémoria" was released, and it was very well received by the specialist press. After numerous concerts, the group finally broke up at the end of 2000. It was in 2013 that the group reformed with Fanfan, Fanch and Phil, the original trio. Julien and Tanguy join the band, on vocals for the first and on lead guitar for the second. In 2014, Anthares performed at the Hellfest Open Air Festival. Release of the 2nd opus in November 2014, "To My Last Breath".

Anthares is known for its sharp guitar riffs, its blacksmith rhythm and the charisma of its singer with a powerful voice. This is the ideal Thrash band for headbanging. A 3rd Album (13 tracks) “Addicted to chaos” was released in June 2019. The new album, “After the War,” will be released in 2024.

Atomic Terror "However, this is no ordinary thrash puke as these guys have tapped into a peculiar corner and conjured their own demons for us to contend with. It reminds me of the first time I heard Hellhammer, or even Celtic Frost and Voivod, a time where I was spooked by the peculiar primitive gurgles which made to feel uncertain by the obscure nature of the bathtub drums and scuzzy bass sound." -Neil Arnold Metal Forces Magazine.
