@@johanpiro4853 True, but still it's nice that "It Can't Be a Dream" gave us time stamps for this depressing shit. Damn, this EP is so depressing ... and I love it.
As a distraught 90's teen struggling with a serious case of undiagnosed chronic depression, this and "serenades" were my daily comfort, my lullaby, my blanket, my ice cream, my booze. Many a lonely night was spent uncontrollingly sobbing while listening over and over to these, while reading aling with the lyrics to the bittersweet understanding that somewhere in this world, in faraway England, there was at least one other person who understood how I felt.. Those were crazy days.
Great that you hung in there man!! I also went through something similar. It was the band's later albums that helped me though I do love their early stuff.
Me too, i was delivered a diagnosis of asperger syndrome in 1997 which I thought would allow me to explain how i felt forever more but i was wrong. It was only my love of Metal, especially this kind, that has represented any kind of continuity in my life.
When this album came out in 1992, the wave of sad metal had just taken off. Close to Paradise Lost and My Dyind Bride, they formed the new kind of heavy British doom metal. A milestone at the time...
welcome back to the early 90's... even today, i.e., 30 years later, I am still being blown away by this utterly reckless courage to sound as raw and genuine as one could ever get when elaborating on the very specific "musical and lyrical repertoire" of what doom metal is all about... says someone who has been there, watching them play (and share their suffering in front of 30-50 people) live on stage at several venues, long before anybody else would even notice that this band exists.
@@lady_draconius507 Have you heard their new one? I enjoyed it but not as much as Queen Of Time. Them and Opeth are my favourite two Scandinavian bands.
1. ...and I Lust 05:48 Hide lyrics Stately columns standing in solemn rows Such empty honours are suitable for those Whose death erases all renown and fame And vanquishes their glory with their name Wandering aimlessly through dead filled fields Rewards are just, who knows what absence yields? By the golden beauty of dusk and the sun low in our sky By the haunting shadows of trees and graves, mesmerized am I. Searching deep inside trying to reach my dreams I see a face stare back at me... oh, so serene. By the golden beauty of dusk and the sun low in our sky By the haunting shadows of trees and graves, mesmerized am I. Those whispering shades... sad, silent glades But not for those whose superior worth After death extols them to the earth I would even venture to assume That one need not build for them a tomb By human art, since glory heaven sent Serves them as a living monument Pain is a far away land, Misery, a lifetime's journey... ...and I lust for death (judgement). 2. The Sweet Suffering 06:42 Hide lyrics As a shadow is cast overhead I rejoice in the coming of the gloom Lifting my eyes to view what, to me, is beauty I decipher what is read in the cloud The verse is shouting out and ringing in my ears The claps of thunder, scared? No, me I revere in the enchantment of mother nature Her caress it soothes and brings me joy Kneeling in the rainfall Wind's whispers beckoning Inhaling the sweet scent Elation is overwhelming The way is dim, but somehow I find it One by one the victims of life are dwindling Me, take me... grief no more if death will save me Take me, save me, show me salvation Lead me... a sacred path, reinstate creation Show me joy, grief, pride and show me your envy The way is dim but somehow I find it. 3. Everwake 02:42 Hide lyrics Somniferous whisperings of scarlet fields Sleep calling me and my dreams are wondrous My reality abandoned (I traverse afar) Not a care if I never wake 4. Crestfallen 10:18 Hide lyrics I cry a tear of hope but it is lost in helplessness The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul For the deepest love I had has dissolved before my eyes My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer All emotion is consumed by an inner silence All grief is unassuaged by disconsulate tears I want for nothing, I live for nothing I am waiting to die but I am afraid of dying Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer Crestfallen emotion Wallowing in guilt and drowning for evermore Falling deeper into fear My inner self is now a sleeper of stone Help me. 5. They Die 08:00 Hide lyrics All tears restrained for years Their grief is confined Which destroys my mind An ode to their plight is this dirge Some yearn for lugubrious silence (It is the) serenity in the image of coffins Shall life renew these bodies of a truth? All death will he annul, all tears assuage? Fill the void veins of life, again with youth And wash with an immortal water, age They die.
The elements of death metal and harmonic sad lead guitar sets British 90s doom metal bands apart from earlier doom metal bands like Candlemass and Pentagram.
Had this on cassette when I was young.It was a split with the serenades album. Loved it, I repaired that cassette many times. I passed on the cassette to my oldest offspring. I want lovelorn rhapsody played at funeral.
just reviewed this one and their first full length. how quickly i forget. 6:53 hits the doom g-spot. or sweet suffering spot.. hits like a giant wall of emotion falling on top of you.
They gave My Dying Bride a run for their money at the time and then they went off in varying different tangents one to consolidate and experiment, one to experiment and consolidate but i love them both throughout. It doesn't matter if it's clean singing or not, in Metal it's all about the atmosphere conjured.
Mi też. Kiedy w moim życiu było źle słuchałam w kółko eternity i the silent enigma. Ubolewam nad tym, że nie dane mi było nigdy zobaczyć ich na żywo i nie wiadomo czy jeszcze kiedyś będzie. Ta muzyka hipnotyzujące, emocje w niej zawarte są nie do opisania
Who cares about views or fame? The music with the most views are the worst music. Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Justin Bieber etc. Most people want easy entertainment. Thats why Bieber is #1
@@MantiaRyche I really love metal, however is difficult for me to understand why for most of the metalheads is hard to enjoy other music genres. Don't compare the current anathema with Nicki Minaj or Justin Bieber. The new Anathema is not pop, is prog/atmospheric rock, and is good music. The metal comunity needs to understand that there's awesome music outside metal too.
Hey everyone. I'm quite on the metalcore.. More energetic metals. Blast, emo too. But this masterpiece, btw 1st time listening to this kind of metal and is goooooood stuff!!!! Ugh!!! Love it. Makes you want to do stuff around the house metalish! :))) Cutting wood, Planting seeds Cooking for a loved one :)))
Hey, that's cool as hell. Glad you've taken a liking to something outside the realm of metalcore. Don't worry, i plant seeds and take bubble baths to this shit. Lol
October Tide's rain without end although they are a bit more melodic death-doom, you could also check out anathema's contemporaries My dying bride and paradise lost.
Darren was also in band called The Blood Divine a very interesting band, also some of that kind of vocal style can be heard on Celtic Frost - Into The Pandemonium, I recommend those two. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-us_avw7EvcU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8lVlccLxLHo.html
Нравится Анафема, потому что у них музыка такая отрывистая в некоторых треках и потому что их впервые услышал на Радио России в 1993 году, до сей поры люблю слушать, что далее не то. Клёвый дум, мож даже текникл дум.
Serenades,Crestfallen, Pentecost, briliant piece The Silent Enigma, and Eternity after them I was try to listen upcoming albums but them are unattractive
hocam uğruyoruz ve biliyoruz, popüler olan kötüdür algısı neden? objektif olarak baktığında buradan bir "one last goodbye" seviyesinde şarkı çıkmış mı yani?
@@orkunkaracan3715 popüler olan kötüdür, çünkü tüketime açık, cilalanmış paketlenmiş suni üründür,buradan bir öne last goodbye çıkamaz çünkü şu kısa albüm (e.p)'nin tek bir şarkısı bile judgment albümünü ezer geçer, buradaki ANATHEMA ile sizin öpüp aglastiginiz ANATHEMA aynı değil.buradaki.gorkemli bir sound ve dönem çünkü
@@teutonicthrasher1774 allah allah ben anathemanın popüler şarkılarına ağlayan bir poserım galiba. ne acayip şu an bile 50.000 dinlenmiş bir albümü 2019 yazında kimbilir ne kadar dinlenmişken (ki ilk dinlemem de değil) gelip dinlemişim, yorumları okumuşum ve yorum yazmışım. anathema o dönemiyle doom metalin en baba gruplarından biri olmuş, ben de çok severim, hala açar dinlerim. ama sonra gittikleri yol değişmiş ve o yolda da çok başarılı olarak geniş kitlelere ulaşmışlar. popüler olan kötüdür diyorsun da anathema’yı direkt crestfallen’la tanıdın sen galiba, popüler şarklılarını hiç dinlemeden bu yorumu yapıyorsan gerçekten tebrik ederim seni. anathemanın şarkılarının tamamına olmasa bile çoğuna hakim biri olarak en sevdiğim şarkılarından biri one last goodbye. çok güzel sözler yazan bir grup fakat kaç şarkısının bu kadar vurucu bir hikayesi var? insanların çoğunun bu şarkıyı bilmesiyle şarkıyı değersiz kılması arasında nasıl bir bağ var? en son 15 yaşımda popüler olan kötüdür algısına sahiptim, senin de aşmanı tavsiye ediyorum, böyle yaşamak bayağı zor olmalı
@@pjsmith2744 I can't say I do, but I lived in the city centre for a few years not too long ago and used to see Danny and Jamie wandering around when I was out and about. Nice lads.
What has happened with you people? You were Icon, now you're selling instruments on some shity site. I'm sorry, not for you, but for all the people you have failed.
Chingada rola no tiene sentido estaba drogado el wey cuando la canto con voz gutural y me caga la madre tiene pedos pero a mi esposo loco le gusta. No mames
Merda?! HAHAHAHA. Tá mal de ouvido em amigo?! Melhor tu ouvir os prog rock mesmo que deve ser bem sua cara, sua cara e seu gosto de merda que tu deve ter!!!
