Description:
"The Silent Enigma/Digi" is a remastered CD edition of Anathema's groundbreaking second album, originally released in 1995. This record marks a pivotal moment in the band's evolution, blending atmospheric doom metal with progressive and gothic influences to create an emotionally charged soundscape. The Digi format offers enhanced packaging and bonus material for collectors and fans alike. Anathema, hailing from Liverpool, England, are renowned pioneers of the British doom scene. Over their career, they have transitioned from heavy doom roots to more melodic and experimental rock sounds, earning critical acclaim for albums like "Alternative 4" and "Weather Systems." Released by Peaceville Records?a label synonymous with quality dark music?this edition ensures both superior audio fidelity and collectible value. Peaceville has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of extreme metal since the late '80s, supporting influential acts such as My Dying Bride and Katatonia.
It's difficult to report single tracks, as the thing that is most appreciated of this album is the homogeneity of the sensations aroused: by this way, starting from the powerful and cadenced beginning of the opener "Restless Oblivion", until to reach the final instrumental "Black Orchid", is a pure complete poetical voyage.
Anathema's third full-length album is indeed one of the most important cornerstones of refined and introspective gothic style, as well as an excellent source of inspiration for many other bands that will follow. A must have.
