Peaceville

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.

Peaceville is an English label founded by Paul Halmshaw, also known as Hammy, in 1987. The label primarily focuses on metal music and has gained a reputation for its high-quality releases. In 2000, Peaceville was sold to Snapper Music but continues to thrive under their ownership.

Throughout its history, Peaceville has used various catalog number formats to distinguish different types of releases. From 1987 to 1995, the label used "VILE ### T" for 12-inch singles, maxis, and EPs; "VILE ###" for LPs; and "VILE ### P" for picture LPs. From 1987 to 2002, CD releases were labeled as "CDVILE### / VILE ### CD," while MCDs/singles/EPs were labeled as "CDMVILE### / VILE ### TCD." Limited CDs were marked with "CDXVILE###."

In later years, Peaceville introduced new catalog number formats such as "CC#" for the Collectors Club series of 7-inch records in 1993-1994. Re-issued CDs with slipcases from 1999 onwards are labeled as "CDVILEM###." Since 2002, CDs have been designated as "CDVILEF###," limited CDs as "CDVILEF###X," MCDs/singles/EPs as "CD

Anathema formed in Liverpool in the summer of 1990 & grew to become a major force in the doom metal genre with their early works, before exploring more rock & progressive elements over time to great success.  'The Crestfallen' was the band's first release for Peaceville and contained reworked tracks from their 'All Faith is Lost' demo as well as new material, clearly showing a band with an exceptional grasp for melody and atmosphere in their brooding doom-heavy compositions and poetic landscapes; with effortless transitions between brutality (accentuated by the 'growled' vocals of then singer Darren White) and beauty on tracks such as 'The Sweet Suffering' and the now classic 'They Die'. This set the stage for their debut full-length LP, 'Serenades', further expanding upon this captivating formula and showing Anathema's diversity and body of influences stretching way beyond the confines of metal.  'The Crestfallen' was recorded at the legendary Academy Studios in Yorkshire, UK, in 1992 (Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, etc), with Keith Appleton at the helm.  This edition of 'The Crestfallen' is presented on 180gm heavyweight black vinyl.
