Anagnorisis \An`ag*nor"i*sis\, n. [Latinized fr. Gr. ?; ? + ? to recognize.] The unfolding or d['e]nouement. [R.]
--De Quincey.

c.1800, from Latin, from Greek anagnorisis "recognition," from anagnorizein "to recognize."

n. The moment in the plot of a drama in which the hero makes a discovery that explains previously unexplained events or situations.

Anagnorisis (; ) is a moment in a play or other work when a character makes a critical discovery. Anagnorisis originally meant recognition in its Greek context, not only of a person but also of what that person stood for. Anagnorisis was the hero's sudden awareness of a real situation, the realisation of things as they stood, and finally, the hero's insight into a relationship with an often antagonistic character in Aristotelian tragedy.

Anagnorisis (born in Kiev) is a German producer, songwriter, and musician. Anagnorisis is especially well known for his work with the band Sariola, where he plays almost all instruments as a studio-musician. Live, he prefer to play guitars. Besides Sariola, Anagnorisis is the main songwriter and composer of the punk band P.A.D.L.O. which achieved success in the Russian and German-Russian punk scene and Black Metal Band Vredesbyrd, which is known for its raw-old-school-black metal style. Anagnorisis also writes movie soundtracks and background music for diverse film productions. As producer and sound engineer, he worked with the bands like Sariola, Demise Empire, Dogma, and diverse productions of choral and classical music. Since year 2008, Anagnorisis works on some electronic projects (EBM, electro-industrial, psy trance).

Anagnorisis is a black/ death metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. They have released two demos, two full-length albums, and two EPs.
