Bio:

ANATHEMA began their journey as pioneers of melodic heavy music, influencing a myriad of bands to follow them, before outgrowing all genres and limitations as they fearlessly explored new territory and ways to express feelings through sound. Formed in Liverpool in the early 90's, the band's musical vision has continually evolved over the ensuing years while always remaining true to their original goal of creating forward thinking, meaningful, passionate and honest music. With each release they move beyond the boundaries of limited scenes and pigeon holes, creating a complex and emotive atmospheric sound.Countless world tours have built up a very loyal international fan base and the "Natural Disaster" tour saw them playing hundreds of shows in over 30 countries.The line-up is really a collective of two families, who were quite simply born to play music. Anathema consists of brothers Vincent, Daniel and Jamie Cavanagh, alongside childhood friends John Douglas and his sister Lee, who is an incredible singer in her own right. The line-up is completed by Les Smith, who beings much in the way of production expertise to the band. There is a deep bond in the group that transcends usual band politics, ego and avarice. They have a shared vision and are about to take the band to a whole new level. Anathema are currently working on an album of brand new material. A multi coloured, multi layered work of unbridled emotion, passion and intensity, it is set to be an album beyond all expectations!

Album:

ANATHEMA have peaked their career in music with the release of “Universal”, a live album recorded at the ancient theatre of Philippopolis in Plovdiv, Bulgaria with the accompaniment of the PLOVDIV PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA. Live albums either sound terrible or amazing and “Universal” tops the greater end, you actually feel like you're in the audience watching the band.The album begins with “Untouchable Part 1”, from the moment it begins you can already feel the atmosphere of the concert created by the orchestra. Vincent Cavanagh's voice is gentle but powerful, enhanced by Lee Douglas's backing vocals. You can feel the raw power as Vincent sings the lyrics “I had to let you go and find a way back home, I had to let you go to the setting sun”. In addition, the violin's attributed the song with a romantic but dramatic feel.”Untouchable Part 2” begins with a simple but effective piano composition. This track is a calm reply to ”Untouchable Part 1”, it feels fragile to listen too and much less dramatic. Though Vincent sing's on the track first it is Lee Douglas's vocals that give the track it's edge, her vocal range is what makes this track special and shouldn't be performed any other way. There are any three things what really stand out in 'Thin Air': The keyboards, the guitars and drums. The vocals take a back seat here, though still amazing they are not as strong as the previous two tracks. The drums sound blunt but still loud, the guitar's riffs are melodic but the keyboards are the star in the song. The keyboard segment at 3.07 makes you feel like it's the middle of winter and the first snowflakes are falling on your head. The keyboards give it the special touch it needed.”Dreaming Light” is the weakest track on the album, though good it just lacks the lustre the other tracks had. The only thing that makes it good is the piano accompaniment, which makes it sound like it's from a Disney Soundtrack. Vincent's vocal range are at its peak here, just a shame how it could have been used on a better track. ”The Storm Before The Calm” title speaks for itself, the track is a storm and it's very haunting. The vocals are dramatic and hit with a hard punch at the best points, John Douglas's drums is in top shape, the bass playing of Jamie Cavanagh gives an underlying Jazz vibe. But that only describes half the track, halfway through the 9 minute song we are charmed with astonishing guitar solos and Vincent's vocals are put to the test.”Everything” shows how well Lee and Vincent can work together, both harmonising with the piano accompaniment. The fast but structured drumming gives a spark to one of the weakest songs of the album. The guitar playing is great but if it was in a lower tuning it would have sounded a lot better as it sounds too conflicting at times with the vocals.
