Alright, bitches, you knew this was coming.
Well, maybe not, but whether you do or don't, I feel bad for any of you who do not know them. :(

Anyways, I don't know what to say about them without sounding like a rabid fangirl, which I suppose I am. At least for Anathema. So, instead, I'll give a little information on them, and then a bunch of links from where you can sample much of their music.

History
Anathema formed at the beginning of the nineties under the name Pagan Angel, but eventually ditched that name and released a few demos, and then signed to Peaceville records. They released three albums, pioneering the Doom/Death sound alongside biggies such as My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost before their first major change-up; their original vocalist, Darren White, left the band (rumoured to have been kicked out of the band, but he went on to form The Blood Divine, then, most recently, Seretonal). Instead of finding a new one, Vincent Cavanagh took on vocal duties alongside guitar. They released some new albums on Peaceville, each one straying further and further from their orginial sound, swapping members in and out, switching labels twice, getting fucked out of a contract by MTVUK, and then being dropped by their most recent label. They remain unsigned with their current lineup of Vincent, Daniel and Jamie Cavanagh, Les Smith and John Douglas. They continue to make music, posting it on their website, as they continue to try and find a new label.

Discograpy
I'm not including demos and singles and compilations and DVDs and shit like most lists do. (Except Hindsight in which all the songs are remade and thus DIFFERENT.)
  • 1992 - Crestfallen EP
  • 1993 - Serenades
  • 1995 - Pentecost III EP
  • 1995 - The Silent Enigma
  • 1996 - Eternity
  • 1998 - Alternative 4
  • 1999 - Judgement
  • 2001 - A Fine Day to Exit
  • 2003 - A Natural Disaster
  • 2008 - Hindsight
  • 2010 - We're Here Because We're Here
Except the last four, all of these have been re-released, most with bonus tracks and videos, so they're not hard to find if you were to want them.

Links
Where you can find your info and free downloads.

http://anathemaniacs.net/ - Fan Site

The last one's not completely legal, but I'm trying to get more people into Anathema, and few are willing if they have to go search and download.

Anyways, best band ever, check them out. <3

Sleepless 96 was a bonus song, not orginally on the album, but only on the reprinting. Besides, considering their history with Peacville, there could be a very good reason behind it sounding rushed. So, yeah.

And what clean vocals were there Serenades? I seem to have missed the hidden track those were on. *cough cough*

Well, perhaps Clean isn't the right word. More like, less than growled, not exactly clean. Bleagh.

Gruff? I didn't think he started doing those until Pentecost III.

Woah snap.
I guess.

The [USA] iTunes Music Store finally has Alternative 4. So, you can check out some more Anathema awesome. And it's even the re-release, so you can hear Anathema's cover of Bad Religion's "Better Off Dead," and I think "Goodbye Cruel World" and "Your Possible Pasts" were Pink Floyd covers. Can't really remember, as I don't really listen to those two.

Anyways, that brings the amount of Anathema albums on iTMS USA to... Three. Judgement, A Natural Disaster, and Alternative 4.
<_<

Some kind bastard has uploaded all of Were You There onto Youtube. Go watch them now. The Sleepless bonus isn't on the copy I got either. And its awesome.

( I'm aware how old the uploads are )

Were You There was a bit disappointing. Though my attempted procurement of the DVD continues.

The tracklist for Anathema's next album, Everything, has been set:
1. THIN AIR (ann further)
2. BRICKS (working title)
3. LIGHTNING SONG
4. SUNLIGHT
5. GET OFF. GET OUT. (working title)
6. ANGELS WALK AMONG US
7. EVERYTHING
8. A SIMPLE MISTAKE
9. VOODOO (working title)
10. NO ONE IS FREE (working title)
11. PARADIGM SHIFT

Direct copy and paste; I would never capslock song titles. <_<
They also are saying they will be releasing another song before the album... But it won't be a song from the album.

Ohh, thanks for that Sturm. Can't wait.

And I'm back to Pre Eternity loving again. Man I love Pentecost III.

Yar. Kingdom <3


Also, I guess I should note, that their Music For Nations albums (Judgment, A Fine Day to Exit and A Natural Disaster) are being re-released on Sony BMG, and two of their DVDs, Were You There? and A Moment in Time, are being released - wait for it - worldwide. Snap!

Indeed, Kingdom <3

I've had the track on repeat for all of today.

And even more great news.

Well, that's your own fault, not theirs.

Not my fault, since I don't buy Sony BMG music.
