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

Out of boredom, and because yet another LCN member falls to my plan of turning this from a Mari to an Anathema fansite, my history with Anathema:
I believe it mid 2003 that someone randomly recommended it on GFAQs to someone else but I decided to check them out too. I found only a few sngs on Kazaa, but I did enjoy them a lot; "One Last Goodbye", "Wings of God" (are these two the songs that get everyone into Anathema?) and "Leave No Trace". Then I forgot about them for a year. I listened to them, still, but it was summer of 2004 that I looked into them again. I found "The Silent Enigma (Orchestral)" and "Angelica" and fell in love. So I decided to download their discography, and, after that, realized it was time to buy all their music, because music this good is worth the money. <3
Anyways. Enough of that. How did the rest of you get into Anathema? Preferably those that weren't introduced to them by this thread, but...
