Anathema - Alternative 4 - [Vinyl]

THE CLASSIC FOURTH ALBUM FROM THE UK MASTERS OF EMOTIONAL PROGRESSIVE ROCK & METAL, PRESENTED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL. 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, and are known for being part of the Peaceville doom metal trinity in the early 1990�s (alongside fellow UK bands Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride).Released in 1998, Alternative 4, Anathema's fourth studio album, quickly became the band's best-selling and most highly regarded release to date. Containing evocative atmospheric passages and emotional Rock anthems, Alternative 4 represented a giant progression from the band's previous work and 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, that the band took further on such albums as a A Fine Day To Exit and A Natural Disaster. Duncan Patterson was a major writing contributor to the album & this was the last album to feature the bassist (who went on to form Antimatter & then band Alternative 4). This edition of �Alternative 4� is presented on black 180gm heavyweight vinyl.
