Liverpool doom metal pioneers Anathema are scheduled to play a headlining performance tonight at Saarang, the annual festival of IIT-Madras. The band addressed the media in a press conference yesterday, answering questions about their shift from death metal to a more prog sound, their 2012 album Weather Systems, and their plans for the near future. We were listening in. When asked about Anathema's recent shift in genre, vocalist Vincent Cavanagh explained that they don’t really listen to criticism. "Our genre has been evolving and it’s been evolving for a while now," he said. He added [...]
College cultural festivals get bigger every year. Mood-Indigo, IIT-Bombay's annual cultural festival, in its latest edition, saw performances by Simple Plan , Karsh Kale Collectiv , Paradigm Shift , Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and a number of other international performers (details here , photos here ). Most other college festivals who can gather enough money from willing sponsors are following the same method and IIT-Madras' Saarang 2013 is no exception. The festival will be the first big college event of the year and will see a host of interesting performances that include British progressive metal [...]
Well, it's that time of year again, and as a student I can say that the month of December is nothing short of hell on earth - which is why my year-end lists usually don't come together properly until January/February. Add to this the fact that 2012 was an absolutely incredible year with an inconceivable ... The post Matt's Top Ten Albums Of 2012 appeared first on Metal Injection .
British progressive metallers Anathema are set to make their first visit to India to headline IIT Madras' Saarang festival's live music event, Decibels, in 2013. IIT Madras has played host to some big international acts in the past, such as Opeth , Hammerfall , and Pain Of Salvation (all Swedish acts, by the way), and even Skid Row. This time around, it seems, IIT Madras' fascination with Scandinavian metal has waned a little, in favour of metal from Britain (no, we're not talking about Iron Maiden ). 2012 has undoubtedly shaped up to [...]

It's funny that every week there's a different trend in new metal releases: fresh batches of black metal, then stoner metal — hell, last week was a hair metal symposium. And this week's thread is gloomy, depressing Shit That Comes Out Today and that's A-OKAY with me, cause I'm one gloomy mofo. Somber tears and boundless [...]
Dreaming Light is the second single to be lifted from last year's album, We're Here Because We're Here. Awarded Classic Rock's 'Prog Album of the Year' as well as a host of other accolades, the album was the band's first collection of new material band since the 2003 album, A Natural Disaster. A multi-coloured, multi-layered work of unbridled emotion, passion, and intensity, the new album was embraced by their legions of fans and the worldwide press. We're Here Because We're Here was mixed by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), who described it as "definitely among the best albums I've [...]
Anathema - Weather Systems Grade: A- Being a fan of Metal myself, I think there are couple main reasons why Metalheads love metal so much. One of the reasons is the technicality and virtuosity displayed in Metal music. The other ... Continued

There weren't any major heavy hitters with new albums last week, but there were plenty of great, new releases from mid-level and smaller bands including Torche, Prong, Anathema, Paradise Lost, Cancer Bats, Unleashed and Disfiguring the Goddess, all of which broke the Top 100 of the Current Hard Music chart. Those numbers, plus more: 8 [...]
This collection of brothers and friends, the Cavanaghs and the Douglases from Liverpool, have spent the last twenty-odd years receding from bellow to mellow and now instead of touring with war machines like Cannibal Corpse you're more likely to find them gracing the bill with soft-hearted, introspective proggers like Paradise Lost or Porcupine Tree. Weather Systems , Anathema 's ninth studio album is yet one more step towards complete purification and the final draining of their metal blood. Using similar methods to those used on their last release, We're Here Because We're Here [...]

Weather Systems still finds Anathema to be one of prog/art-rock's most beautiful groups, despite the imbalance in the sequencing of the album. Though it may be surprising, the band responsible for Weather Systems began their career in doom-metal. The dramatic piano chords and orchestral backings that make up many of the album's tracks would suggest a genesis in Coldplay-esque balladry -- not in grim, atmospheric metal. Nevertheless, that evolution is the one Anathema has taken, and that growth has proven to be excellent. Their tautologically titled 2010 release, We're Here Because We're Here, found the Liverpool-based musicians...

Het is twintig jaar geleden dat ik kennis maakte met Anathema. Samen met Paradise Lost markeerden ze het begin van mijn studieperiode in Groningen. Man, man, wat heb ik die eerste cd’s van beide bands oneindig veel gedraaid. Vanaf tapes,...
