Black Metal Anathema v.s. newer melodic Anathema

[Elmarad]

I think the first black metal bands took the idea for the corpsepaint from the pandas!!!

Lord of the rings (if i remember well...)

 

[Morpheus]

exactly

 

[Timmeth]

I'll side with the newer stuff... It's such a refreshing breather from all of the Metal out there.

Yeah, I wanna see Anathema on tour wearing leather and spikes, and corpsepaint..

i have seen a video bootleg of an old gig ('94??) where darren, duncan and vinny look like pandas ..i mean, with black make up around their eyes.. or maybe it was just my imagination, hehe - the quality of that video was really bad -

 

[Don Corleone]

ok, i'll say this for the thousandth time -but someone asked- i dont like anything with darren on vocals...the rest are my fave music.

Take care...

Never Black Metal-though i have some pics from a gig in Germany where the guys are wearing eye make up like Celtic Frost used too!

And THe Dazza stuff rules too!

nope, im sorry. and i definitely prefer the '96 version of "sleepless," dying_swan...Sorry! not much of a daz fan, iam...

 

[NotYourFriend]

definitely prefer the melodic 'period' as it strikes me to be more unique

 

[requiem]

New Anathema owns you all!!!

Although 'The Silent Enigma' isn't far from the top (yet not quite at the top).

And I have to stick up for corpsepainted black metal here... I for one miss the heyday of Norwegian black metal, although there are a selection of great bands still around today.

But yeah, they do look like pandas....

 

[Folklore]

'The Silent Enigma' is second to non!! one of my top fav` ever.. but i guess i`m like most of the fans here, i like the new material as well.

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

i think anathema sold out after the second half of the first song of the first demo.

 

[Bambi]

My favourite BM band is so underground that they don't even know who they are, never mind anybody else.

They will never sell out!!

No you silly man..... it was 14 seconds before that

*gently rolls onto the floor laughing out loud at bambi*

 

[somnium_in_tenebris]

every anathema moment is perfect,in my humblest of opinions each period is unique.and darren rules(actually ruled)although i could say that the silent enigma is me fave....in the end,i cannot quite decide which album is my favourite
and the thing about black metal anathema made laugh my head off!i would give a fortune to see Vinny,Danny,John(!)with corpse-paint or dressed-up like the Black Witchery guys
the spikes that Danny had in the Mine is yours vid ruled,tho

 

[somnium_in_tenebris]

oh!and anathema sold out when they even conceived the idea of forming a black metal...errrrrrrrlol: )a doom metal band

 

[Forlorn Hope]

No way man, they sold out when Danny learned how to play guitar!!

 

[Forlorn Hope]

Damn betrayers!!! That's what they are! Yeah! Betrayers!!
