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 |

Okay.
So, a year or two ago, when I was but a lurker with no account, I found this tread and checked out a few songs by them, namely "Wings of God", "A Dying Wish", "Shroud of False", and "Pulled Under at 2000 Metres a Second". I thought they were okay, but nothing too special. Time passed and they got lost in my computer somewhere. A few months ago, I decided to clean up my music folders a bit and came across the tracks I downloaded. I fell in love. My musical taste had changed a lot since then. (Think My Chemical Romance to Anathema) and I asked Asaph which albums were good. I ended up downloading every single release by them, and they are definitely one of my favorite bands. My favorite album is probably "Judgement", and I'm not sure Death/Doom is my thing. But who knows? Maybe I'll learn to like it more. THANKS ASAPH. |

I think this speaks for itself. And yes, I understand that befriending the artists I like on facebook makes me a tool. EDIT: Link'd because the picture stretched the page.

We might actually see the new album this year. Vincent said on his Twitter and Facebook that there are only five days left of recording.

Oh wow, can't believe I haven't gushed about the fact that the new Anathema album has been officially announced and dated for May 31. I already preordered both the vinyl and the CD-DVDA versions. The latter is part of your birthday gift, Sasha.
Currently listening to "Thin Air" (which can be found by subscribing to the email list). Good stuff - I can't describe how excited I am for this album. Tracklist: 1: Thin Air 2: Summernight Horizon 3: Dreaming Light 4: Everything 5: Angels Walk Among Us 6: Presence 7: A Simple Mistake 8: Get Off, Get Out 9: Universal 10: Hindsight ~~~  |

Well, this has to be the most beautiful disc of 2010.
Though I liked Everything and Angels Walk Among Us A LOT more as singles. ~~~ |
