This 2 disc features the band’s classic 1995 album, ‘The Silent Enigma’, fully re-mastered on CD alongside a DVD featuring promo videos and a live performance from Krakow, Poland in March 1996.

The Silent Enigma was originally released in the summer of ‘95 and is the first release on which guitarist Vincent Cavanagh took over the vocal duties of recently departed Darren White. Where Darren’s vocals were guttural Vincent’s style pushed the possibilities for Anathema onwards and upwards, with a scope and breath beyond his years. Lauded by the metal press, the album has since been described by Terrorizer magazine as ‘one of Anathema's best’. This special edition of the album also features 2 bonus tracks.

The first new release from Anathema for five years. Taken from the new semi-acoustic album, Hindsight, this two track download features the brand new track Unchained (Tales Of The Unexpected), alongside a new arrangement of Flying.

Released on Post Progressive imprint Kscope Music, in association with the legendary Peaceville Records, Hindsight is the first release of new studio recordings from Anathema since 2003's acclaimed conceptual album, A Natural Disaster.

Featuring selected favourites spanning the band’s career, as well as brand new track, ‘Unchained (Tales Of The Unexpected)’, Hindsight sees Anathema creating sensitive semi-acoustic arrangements - utilising acoustic, electric and orchestral instruments - that further develop the deep, emotional landscapes that Anathema has become justly renowned for.



The CD can also be purchased in a specially priced bundle with an exclusive t-shirt displaying the album cover. T-Shirts may also be purchased separately.

Released in 1998, Alternative 4 quickly became Anathema’s best-selling and most highly regarded album to date.

Displaying a more mature sound than their earlier recordings, this is the album that gave birth to the more considered and conceptual approach that the band developed further on such albums as a A Fine Day To Exit and A Natural Disaster.

The band's second EP 'Pentecost III' was released in early 95. This was the last release that 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.

'Resonance' is a collection of Anathema’s more ambient moments, brilliantly showcasing the band’s ability to create memorable and intense atmospheric rock music. The album contains 6 tracks which have never been available outside Germany and Japan, plus the unreleased live version of 'Angelica' and covers of Pink Floyd classics, One Of The Few and Goodbye Cruel World.

With such a huge wealth of material existing in shades of light and dark, brutal and fragile, a two-part retrospective was the only way to do Anathema's musical vision the justice it deserves. This second part, Resonance 2 features the dark side of Anathema including 'Future Dreams' and 'Empty', as featured on the 1998 much sort after Alternative Future e.p. promo.

Liverpool doom prophets Anathema first burst on the scene in the early 90's and released their debut album Serenades on Peaceville in 1993. Original vocalist Daz White had this to say at the time "Anathema is not just another heavy metal band but a presence and a power in every living spirit." They certainly didn't disappoint, as the album exploded to universal acclaim. Serenades managed to blend fragile dreams with raging aggressive frustration to stunning effect and heralded the dawn of one of the best bands on the scene. Even at such an early stage in their career it was obvious to all those with their ear to the grind just how special Anathema could be.

The Silent Enigma was originally released in the summer of 95 and is the first release which sees guitarist Vincent Cavanagh take over the vocal duties.
 
'The Silent Enigma is one of Anathema's best. Metal this heavy is seldom poetic but the writing team here simply surrendered to their muse & awoke with a work as alien in its dark horrors it is human in its tragic beauty. - Terrorizer
