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. HistoryAnathema 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. DiscograpyI'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. LinksWhere you can find your info and free downloads. http://www.anathema.ws - Official Sitehttp://www.myspace.com/weareanathema - Official MySpacehttp://anathemaniacs.net/ - Fan Sitehttp://www.drsturm.net/msc/Anathema/ - My Own Online Repository of Anathema MusicThe 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

QUOTE(Daniel Cavanagh @ on "Violence") I was actually going to give it to Cradle Of Filth. I called them and said, “I’ve got this song.†They said, “Do we have to pay you?†I said, “Yeah.†Then they said no. So, I never did send it. I decided, along with Jamie, that it should end the album because of the way it ends, with the piano. We quickly realized that maybe it didn’t need a vocal, that it should be an instrumental. That’s just the way it went. I was just wandering around looking for the Transcend cover art, stumbled upon this site, and ended up reading this interview about A Natural Disaster, thought this quote was particularly funny.

Heh. QUOTE(Dr Sturm @ Oct 12 2006, 03:24 PM) Gruff? I didn't think he started doing those until Pentecost III.
I'm such an idiot, that was Vincent. Not Darren. >_< I dunno why, but I've really started loving all of Eternity now. Previously, only a few songs, Angelica, Cries on the Wind, Ascension, Eternity (Part II), possibly one or two more, have appealed to me off the album, but I enjoy all of it now.

Random but, I'm bored. So, here are my favourite songs of each album.
Seranades - Sleepless, Sweet Tears, The Sweet Suffering Pentecost III - Kingdom, We The Gods The Silent Enigma - A Dying Wish, Restless Oblivion, Cerulean Twilight Eternity - Cries on the Wind, Angelica, Eternity (Pt II) Alternative 4 - Shroud of False, Inner Silence, ( and here I'm torn, I like Fragile Dreams, but it's really repetitive, so I guess... ) Destiny Judgement - One Last Goodbye, Wings of God, Parisienne Moonlight A Fine Day to Exit - Pressure, Looking Outside Inside, Temporary Peace A Natural Disaster - Pulled Under at 2000 meters per second, Flying, Violence

Well, I shall do the same. The Crestfallen: "Everwake", "They Die", "Crestfallen", "... And I Lust" Serenades: "They (will always) Die", "Sleepless", "Scars of the Old Stream" Pentecost III: "Kingdom", "We, The Gods", "Pentecost III" The Silent Enigma: "A Dying Wish", "The Silent Enigma", "Sunset of Age" Eternity: "Cries on the Wind", "Angelica", "The Beloved", "Eternity Part III" (oh wow, you're right about Eternity), "Eternity Part I", "Suicide Veil", "Hope" Alternative 4: "Lost Control" (anyone who doesn't mention this fails), "Inner Silence", "Shroud of False", "Regret" Judgement: "One Last Goodbye", "Anyone, Anywhere", "Judgement" A Fine Day to Exit: "Leave No Trace", "Temporary Peace", "Panic", "A Fine Day to Exit" A Natural Disaster I've got a little secret. I don't actually have this album yet. :( But I do like "Pulled Under at 2000 Metres Per Second"
Also, toss in a few songs on the Digipacks I enjoy: "Eternal Rise of the Sun" (fucking limited 7"'s preventing me from hearing this for so long), "The Silent Enigma (Orchestral)", "Better Off Dead" PS ASAPH: "The Sweet Suffering" is actually a song from The Crestfallen, it appears on The Crestfallen/Serenades combo album
