Anata is a technical death metal band from Varberg, Sweden that formed in 1993.

To date, they have released two demos, four albums and a split album with Bethzaida. In 2005, they completed recordings for an album titled The Conductor's Departure, released in June 2006 on Earache Records/Wicked World Records. Anata have toured Europe (one full UK tour in 2004, two UK/Ireland tours in 2004, 2006) with death metal acts such as Dismember, Decapitated, Rotting Christ, and Psycroptic. In 2006 Anata played at Maryland Deathfest, Baltimore, their first United States appearance to date. Anata have also performed at festivals in Europe such as Fuck the Commerce, Neurotic Deathfest, Uppsala Blodbad, KieloWatt, and Gothenburg Deathfest.

Anata had remained inactive since Andreas Allenmark left in 2008, until the band announced that they were tracking vocals for a new album in October 2023.[1]
