Anathema - Universal - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Anathema - Judgement [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/08/2008

The long feared third attack opus from Black Metal grinders Anaal Nathrakh is upon you! Again without the uses of sissy keyboards, vocal distortions or harmonizers, their Metal malevolence is more organically evil than ever. Featuring Shane Embury (Napalm Death, Brujeria) and Danny Herrera (Napalm Death), the band's first 100%-human studio recording thrusts both Black Metal and Grindcore Six hundred and Sixty Six degrees deeper into the abyss.

As We Once Were is the third studio album from twice Welsh Music Prize nominated artist and producer The Anchoress (aka Catherine Anne Davies) - This new record is the long-awaited follow-up to the UK Top 40 album The Art Of Losing and features an all-star cast of guest vocalist, including Mercury Music Prize nominees Hannah Peel and Welsh-Cornish musician Gwenno, long-time collaborator James Dean Bradfield from Manic Street Preachers also contributes vocals and electric guitar on 'Throw Over Your Man' - a song inspired by the love letters between literary legends Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville West - and newcomer Eaves Wilder (Secretly Canadian) duets on 'Damsels'. Three-times Music Producers Guild nominated Davies created the new album at Black Lodge Studios, while being given access to Pete Townshend's collection of vintage analogue synthesisers to produce an epic 14-track widescreen exploration of the nature of time and transformation.
