Liverpool's Anathema started out in the early '90s as a doom metal outfit, but underwent a remarkable transformation over the past decade. Led by guitarist Vincent Cavanagh, the band ventured into uncharted territory, shedding their metal roots and embracing progressive and melodic sounds. Their artistic breakthrough came with 2001's A Fine Day to Exit, showcasing powerful atmospheric rock. With superb vocals from Cavanagh, Anathema captivates listeners with brooding yet captivating music.

In September 2020, Anathema announced an indefinite hiatus after leaving an indelible mark on the music scene.

Anathema formed in Liverpool in 1990, initially under the name of Pagan Angel & grew from a heavy doom/death metal style act into a more progressive & melodic group, blending rock elements with strong atmospherics inspired by classic acts such as Pink Floyd & Radiohead. The band signed with Peaceville Records after recording the 'All Faith Is Lost' demo in 1991 & is known for being part of the hallowed Peaceville doom metal trinity in the early 1990's (alongside fellow UK bands Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride), with some highly influential releases in the early part of their long, esteemed career.Released in 1998, 'Alternative 4', Anathema's fourth studio album, quickly became the band's best-selling & most highly regarded release to date. Containing evocative atmospheric passages & emotional Rock anthems, 'Alternative 4' represented a giant progression from the band's previous work & hinted at the massive changes to come. Displaying a more mature sound than the band's earlier recordings, this is the album that gave birth to the more conceptual approach, which the band took further on such albums as a 'A Fine Day To Exit', 'A Natural Disaster' & beyond, leading up to some of their most revered work under the Kscope label.This edition of 'Alternative 4' marks 25 years since release & features the album presented on limited marble-effect vinyl.
