Profile: | Liverpool's
Anathema, was founded in 1990 and started out in the early '90s as
strictly a doom metal outfit, with the requisite growled vocals and the
trademark muddy sound, but when original singer Darren White left the
band in 1995, with guitarist Vincent Cavanagh taking the reins, Anathema
started their slow journey into completely uncharted (and unexpected)
territory. In fact, Anathema's metamorphosis over the past decade is one
of the most remarkable band transformations in recent memory, as album
after album has sounded more and more progressive and melodic, in no
small part fueled by Cavanagh's superb singing voice. 2001's A Fine Day
to Exit, aided by excellent songs like Release and Pressure, was an
artistic breakthrough, as the band completely shed themselves of their
metal roots, while still putting out powerful, brooding atmospheric
rock.
