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.)
Links Where you can find your info and free downloads. http://www.anathema.ws - Official Site http://www.myspace.com/weareanathema - Official MySpace http://anathemaniacs.net/ - Fan Site http://www.drsturm.net/msc/Anathema/ - My Own Online Repository of Anathema Music 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 ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

Finally got A Natural Disaster.
On my first listen through, "Violence" is the best song on the album. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

Yeah, that was one of my favourite tracks off it for quite some time. Electricity is probably the one I enjoy most now though. <3 when it hits 2:04. The bass is just win.

I can't belive this>_> Not 1 hour ago, I was trashing this band on another thread. Now, after hearing Violence and other songs, I think I've had a change of heart. I had only listened to the songs on their myspace page. After which, with my poor judgement, came to the conclusion that they sucked. I now have learned just how good this band is. So sorry for me an asshole>_>
I won't lie, their not my #1 band, but their up there. ~~~ blues477 (10:29:38 AM): found you
(10:29:40 AM): you motherfucker LoRdXrAsLeR(10:29:48 AM): D: (10:29:54 AM): NO DON'T |

Violence and A Dying Wish= WIN
Also, Rasler you used "their" in the wrong context. It's THEY'RE. ~~~ I once saw Phoenix Wright cosplay at JACON...

SET LIST
Fragile Dreams Empty A Simple Mistake Balance/Closer A Natural Disaster Angels Walk Among Us Deep Flying I screamed for One Last Goodbye and Sleepless a lot, but we didn't get them. :( Didn't get any autographs, but I got some drum lid they threw into the crowd, and I got a T Shirt. Bastard next to me got the tambourine Danny threw into the crowd. Their stage presence is fucking amazing. Vincent was going nuts, Danny did some fuckawesome improvised solos, and Vincent even turned round his Mic for us to sing into during Closer, Deep, and Empty. John wasn't there though, because his girlfriend was having a baby. ALSO THEY SAID THE RECEPTION THEY GOT HERE WAS WAY BETTER THAN ENGLAND, SO THEY ARE COMING BACK. HAH. Porcupine Tree were the lead act, and they played a ton of stuff too, also mind blowing. Colin did some amazing Bass solo as an encore, and Trains was beautiful. No pictures sadly. :((( This post has been edited by Irysa: Dec 13 2007, 12:18 PM ~~~ [13:27:43] [Sabator] peter would be the worst batman ever though.
