In 1996, after a decade apart, Anarchy reunited and released some more albums and singles, which had a much more industrial sound to them, similar to digital hardcore that was moderately popular at the time. In 2001, Anarchy split for a second time, and although they have for the most part remained inactive since then, Anarchy have reunited in 2013 and in 2017. « hide |
