I have never really been a huge fan of Anathema. No matter
how much I love My Dying Bride I have never been able to really get into the
doomy sounds of Anathema as much until now. This was what it took to get me
hooked - a compilation album that features the best of the band's heavier
songs. These two bands have been carrying the Peaceville label for a long
while and there is no coincidence that they have become so big over the years.
Slow, hard, driving rhythms riding upon waves of eternal melancholy. That is
what Anathema sounds like and that is also what doom at its absolute best
sounds like. When the two Cavanaugh brothers started out in 1990 in the city
of Liverpool no-one knew that this band would become one of the most unique
metal bands ever to rise from the English grey landscape. Perhaps the boring
weather and the industrial pollution of England is the perfect breathing
ground for melancholy. No matter what, this is a very good compilation album
and although I generally don't recommend those kind of albums I will now make
an exception. If you are into doom metal but not a big Anathema fan (how could
that be...?) then buy this and you might change your
mind.
