Eternity

by Anathema

Overview

Although the British band Anathema left its traditional death metal sound behind on The Silent Enigma with guitarist Vincent Cavanagh taking over vocals duties from growler Darren White, the dark themes continue. Shifting its morbid focus from God-bashing and destruction, the chaps focus on suicide and the meaninglessness of life. The blistering guitars have been replaced by atmospheric keyboards making this come off as a twisted combination of Pink Floyd and Peter Gabriel, and there is even some spoken poetry here. As a whole, Anathema has proven that it is an original band not content to repeat history. Unfortunately, there is a place in this world for such dark subject matter, and for those who care, Eternity fits the bill. [There is also a version that contains three additional bonus tracks.] ~ Robert Taylor
