Anonymous is the sixth studio album by the American hardcore punk band Stray from the Path.[5] The album was released on September 17, 2013, by Sumerian Records. The album was announced on July 17, 2013, after the website whereisourliberty.com was revealed to be a promotion tool for the album.[6] A new song, "Badge & a Bullet," was released along with the announcement of the album.[7]

The album debuted at #40 on the Billboard 200 album chart.[8]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that the album "blends the political ferocity of Rage Against the Machine with the feral, punk-metal intensity of Agnostic Front."[8] Exclaim! wrote that "most of the album's triumphs come when Stray From the Path keep the energy high, as on previous outings."[4]
