Liverpool, United Kingdom (1990 – present)
Anathema is an English band based in the city of Liverpool, associated with “atmospheric” rock, as well as death/doom metal from their debut days.
Current Members
Vincent Cavanagh - Lead vocals, rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar (1990-present)
Daniel Cavanagh - Lead guitar, vocals (1990-2002, 2003-present) (Lid, Antimatter, Leafblade)
Jamie Cavanagh - Bass (1990-1991, 2001-present)
Les Smith - Keyboards (2000-present) (ex-Cradle of Filth, Antimatter, Ship of Fools)
John Douglas - Drums (1990-1997, 1998-present)
Lee Douglas - Vocals (2000-present)
Anathema formed in 1990 as a doom metal band, initially under the name ‘Pagan Angel’. In November of that year, the band recorded their first demo, entitled An Iliad of Woes. This demo caught the attention of several bands from the English metal scene, allowing Anathema to play gigs with bands like Bolt Thrower and Paradise Lost.
At the beginning of 1991, the band adopted its current name, and gained a lot of attention with the release of their second demo entitled All Faith Is Lost, resulting in a four-album deal with Peaceville Records. Their first release under the label was The Crestfallen EP in November 1992. They took the material from that album on the road, touring with Cannibal Corpse.
Serenades, Anathema’s debut LP, attracted a lot of mainstream attention, propelling their “Sweet Tears” music video onto the MTV playlist.
