ANATHEMA

Fans who were waiting for a new tour de force like 'Judgement' will be disappointed, be warned! The story continues where the 2008 album 'Hindsight' left off. Judgement features brand new arrangements of songs with full 26 piece string section and haunting melodies from the band’s earliest days as pioneers of heavy music.

Falling Deeper is a mesmerising blend of the orchestral - majestic and at times ethereal - with beautiful vocal arrangements and Anathema's unique 'feedback' lead guitars, all centred around a grand piano and a huge rhythm section.

Highlight of the album 'Everwake' features the incredible voice of Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering), followed by 'Crestfallen', 'Kingdom', 'They Die', 'Alone' & 'Sunset Of Age'.

This record has been produced by Daniel Cavanagh and was recorded and mixed by Andrea Wright at the legendary Parr St Studios, Liverpool (where Elbow, Coldplay and Echo and the Bunnymen have also recorded albums). The orchestral arrangements are by Dave Stewart who worked so successfully with Anathema on We’re Here Because We’re Here.
