  I can't agree they've lost emotionality or soul. their life changed so did the music... it's a matter of Your musical taste if you follow it or not. and saying that they sold out - have they got any broader media attention before 'Weather Systems'? I don't think so.

  I 've talked with some people that say Anathema 'sold out' after 'The Silent Enigma' and forth.

  I would have joined but I think that throwing away two great albums yet (alternative 4 & judgement) isn't fair. Anathema ended not with heavy guitars ,but when they lost their emotionality,lost their soul...

  The lyrics of Darren were so beautiful and poetic, real poetry... for me, there are two Anathemas, the early and the later one, both great [2]

  The current Anathema is great, but the earlier stuff is absolutely superb. Crestfalln has to be one of the best tunes of all time, so heavy, so mournful, so heartfelt. I saw them twice in the early 90's. Great memories. On one occasion they were being supported by the, then unsigned, cradle of filth. My, how things change!

  Transfixed... I gaze through my window at a world lying under a shroud of frost. In a forlorn stupor I feel the burning of staring eyes, yet no one is here. Detached from reality, in the Knowing of dreams, we know the entity of ensuing agony waits to clasp us in its cold breast, in an empty room. We awake and it's true... I dreamt of the sun's demise, awoke to a bleak morning. In the emptiness I beheld fate for the dead light is a foretelling of what will be... I saw a soul drift from life, through death, and arrive at Elysian fields in welcoming song. Yet I stand in a dusk-filled room despondently watching the passing of the kindred spirit... and there is no song... just a delusion of silence.

  i guess most of finnish bands are into a more happy metal (children fo bodom, nightwish...) but perhaps there are good anathema-like bands in the underground. meanwhile, try the spanish band POETRY, ver very similar to the english old music.
