The new Anathema album, We're Here Because We're Here, is in constant rotation on my Ipod. When the double Vinyl arrives at my door, it too will be spun endlessly. It's that good. Scratch that, it's that fucking amazing. Since I must hold true to my policy of not posting new albums, I will instead offer their classic album Eternity.
Formed in 1990, Anathema were members of the English triumvirate of doom along side My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost. But it was in 1996 that everything changed. With the release of their third album, Eternity, Anathema would take a drastic and stunning turn away from doom and metal and into the world of atmospheric alt-rock. Pink Floyd would emerge as a major influence and this passionate album is a fitting tribute to all things ethereally epic. It is a boundless piece of music and you kind of need it.
