30th ANNIVERSARY LIMITED MARBLE VINYL RELEASE OF THE MASTERPIECE OF MID-90s DOOM METAL FROM LIVERPOOL’S FINEST. FEATURING REMASTERED AUDIO

Anathema formed in Liverpool in 1990, initially under the name of Pagan Angel & grew from a heavy doom/death metal style act into a more progressive & melodic group, blending rock elements with strong atmospherics inspired by classic acts such as Pink Floyd & Radiohead. The band signed with Peaceville Records after recording the ‘All Faith Is Lost’ demo in 1991 & is known for being part of the hallowed Peaceville doom metal trinity in the early 1990’s (alongside fellow UK bands Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride), with some highly influential releases in the early part of their long, esteemed career.

‘Pentecost III’ was released in early 1995 & was recorded at the infamous Academy Studios in Yorkshire UK (My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost). ’Pentecost III’ featured classic heavy & often hypnotic doom metal, as well as a reworking/rerecording of the ‘Memento Mori’ track from the ‘Iliad Of Woes’ demo.

This was the last release which original vocalist Darren White appeared on, before leaving the band to form “The Blood Divine” with various members of the original “Cradle Of Filth” line up.

This 30th anniversary edition of ‘Pentecost III’ contains newly remastered audio courtesy of Jaime Gomez at Orgone Studios, & is presented on limited marble vinyl.
