This is taken from the Anathema official site: Greetings to all... Here we present a brand new anathema song called 'everything'. It has been recorded and mixed by the band, independent of any record company. We decided to give this song directly to the public as soon as it was finished, as a thank you to all those people who have kept faith with anathema and what we are doing. Anathema presently has no record deal. For this reason we have included a DONATE OPTION, where you can help the band by donating a small amount to the process of recording this new record. In return, we will present more songs for you to download over the coming weeks and months. These versions will be exclusive and not available anywhere else. Here is an opportunity for people to support a band directly, instead of filling the pockets of anonymous businessmen. The sentiment of this song is one of hope. Of truth. We are very proud of it. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. with respect from ANATHEMA ...to be continued...

Light shines in through an open window shines inside your heart and soul and light will guide your way through time and love will help you heal your mind and life... will... be.. cos everything is energy and energy is you and me... ------------- http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Hanging Sounds http://www.progarchives.com/ProgRockShopping.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Index of prog music vendors |

Thank you Avestin, you were ahead of me this time! Anathema needs and deserves MORE ATTENTION. As an 'early adopter', I happen to be of the opinion that this song may not match the quality of their earlier work (i.e. Judgement), but it may surely be appealing to the majority of PA-visitors. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. -------------

second hearing: it's quite good, but a bit commercialised like coldplay, radiohead style not dissapointing though... |

How can you possibly call Radiohead "commercialized"? They're about as anti-commercial as you can get. Interestingly they - together with Tool - are one of the few commercially successful progressive bands which actually aren't compromising their artistic integrity. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I think Aapatsos meant to say with 'commercialized' not that Radiohead is commercial per sé, but rather that Anathema adjusted their musical course in a somewhat more commercial direction - indeed rather resembling Coldplay/Radiohead, and as those bands have HUGE selling albums, one may regard that as 'commercial'. After all, 'commercial' in a strict sense only means: selling well. But I may be wrong here... Aapatsos? -------------

many thanks for the link Avestin!
Forgot a bit about them I've to admit. Now I know why there wasn't
anything new from them since 3 years. The song sounds nice, beautiful,
even good I'd say at least for someone who never listened their better
stuff like Judgement and ALternative 4. BUt for a never to be satisfied
proghole like myself really nothing special at all. I could imagine it
to be a quite successful airplay tune if they manage to sell it on the
market. For the mentioned comparisons - Coldplay/Radiohead: yes, not
that far way - POS: definetely no way neither in style nor quality. I
happen to know all their releases starting right from their death metal
days and I always considered them as a good but in fact not VERY good
or excellent band. Seen them last year as a support for PT in my town.
The concert was okay, but as well not really great and it became quite
obvious why they're not as popular as PT (who I don't consider as a
great band neither). Compared to them they appeared rather like a
better College band (no insult to the band intended by this
comparison!). Meanwhile newer bands betting on the same horse like them
(i.e. Riverside) are almost better known and more popular which must be
a bit frustrating for them I can imagine. Anyway they had good ideas
and could be considered as one of the precursors for that specific
Post-(Emo)-Metal ??? style, whatever you like to call it since it can't
be defined as Metal really. I wish them good luck for their future as a
band but if they continue with stuff like that song I doubt that I'd
support them too much.
