Formed in 1990 in Liverpool, Anathema have been at the forefront of the UK rock/metal movement for many years. They began their journey as pioneers of melodic heavy music, influencing a myriad of bands to follow them, before outgrowing all genres and limitations as they fearlessly explored new territory and new ways to express feeling through sound.
The bands experimentation has seen acclaim escalate with each release. Last year’sWeather Systems, Anathema’s ninth studio album was their best received yet, with critics the world over choosing it as one of their favourite releases of the year. The band also won the award for best live event at the inaugural Progressive awards, rightly recognising the band's incredible live experience, and are once again nominated this year.
