Anathema's ‘Falling Deeper’ picks-up where the acclaimed 2008 album ‘Hindsight’ left off. The album features brand new arrangements of songs and haunting melodies from the band’s earliest days as pioneers and co-creators of an entire genre of heavy music.
‘Falling Deeper’ is a blend of the orchestral, majestic - and at times ethereal - with beautiful vocal arrangements and Anathema's unique 'feedback' lead guitars, all centred around a grand piano and a huge rhythm section. Everything works to convey the haunting landscapes Anathema have become renowned for.
This is an album which will excite old and new Anathema fans equally. A fresh musical and lyrical approach has transformed songs such as ‘Crestfallen’, ‘Kingdom’ and ‘Sunset Of Age’. Another highlight of the album, ‘Everwake’, features the incredible voice of Anneke van Giersbergen and has brought a higher dimension to one of the band’s earliest acoustic pieces.
The record has been produced by Daniel Cavanagh and was recorded and mixed by Andrea Wright at the legendary Parr St Studios, Liverpool (where the likes of Elbow, Coldplay and Echo and the Bunnymen have also recorded albums). The orchestral arrangements are from Dave Stewart who worked so successfully with Anathema on 'We’re Here Because We’re Here'.
‘Falling Deeper’, in the words of Daniel Cavanagh, is “a nod to our past and a look to our future all at the same time, with a sound that is designed to transport you to the heart of the present moment."
'Falling Deeper' is set for release of 24th October 2011 and you can check out Stereoboard's review of the album HERE.
