Description

throughout life there are routines and changes that make the journey uncertain. the phrase becomes interesting in the musical context. There are projects whose soundness remains true to its principles and those that will change its musical evolution by shaping the various influences. the anathema are included in this last batch.

with profound changes since its beginning, the band has had a very interesting route that culminates in this eleventh album. the reflection of this intense work is evident in the melancholic and dark compositions that make up the disk. “The Optimist” is an extremely emotional album proving that the change operated over the past few years has been consistent.

excellent, engaging, addictive. .

Artist

Liverpool's Anathema, started out in the early '90s as strictly a doom metal outfit, with the requisite growled vocals and the trademark muddy sound, but when original singer Darren White left the band in 1995, with guitarist Vincent Cavanagh taking the reins, Anathema started their slow journey into completely uncharted (and unexpected) territory. In fact, Anathema's metamorphosis over the past decade is one of the most remarkable band transformations in recent memory, as album after album has sounded more and more progressive and melodic, in no small part fueled by Cavanagh's superb singing voice. 2001's A Fine Day to Exit, aided by excellent songs like Release and Pressure, was an artistic breakthrough, as the band completely shed themselves of their metal roots, while still putting out powerful, brooding atmospheric rock.

On 22 September 2020 the band announced that they would go on an indefinite hiatus.
