Paradise Lost- Anathema- My Dying Bride: did you lot really get along?

[Bastet]

and shades of god?

 

[french_anatheman]

i only like the song "As i die", which is probably one of the best song they ever made.
And what about Icon?

 

[Strangelight]

Gothic is by far their most important album

 

[french_anatheman]

In terms of sales, or in terms of music?

Come on, do you think Gothic outsold Draconian Times? They were huge at that time. I mean in terms of impact and influence on a genre

i think the artwork for both 'lost paradise' and 'gothic' was far ahead of its time too, not just the sound, just like with celtic frost for example and thats exactly how i first bought 'lost paradise', because of the cover same for kyuss - blues for the red sun

 

[breaklose]

i got a cd with 'gothic' and 'lost paradise' ...together.

 

[zupi_clone]

ah aye that must of been the meff version, still bargains are bargains, ive gothic here on red vinyl, think theres a clear one afaik

Darren's quite a busy photographer for the sleeves of the bands he's been in - does he have a website or sth? how do you like his stuff anyway? its a bit dreamy eh?

the Blood Divine's 1st one was named "Rise Pantheon Dreams", didnt Anathema have sth with that? did he nick it or had he himself come up with it?

 

[Headquake]

and here's my 2 cents:
PL used to be my fav band by far until Host came out, and the closest thing to a good album since is Symbol of Life...and Nick's vocals bug the shit out of me on that one.
MDB are legends to me. So many albums and not one that is mediocre...each album has it's own identity. They may not stray too far from their patented sound but that's what's so brilliant about them, each album seems fresh and exciting to me. Doom isn't the easiest genre for incorporating variety in song writing.
As far as our beloved Anathema goes, they're my least favorite of the 3 bands. I love them don't get me wrong...every album is great except the highly disapointing "A Natural Disaster". I wanted to be blown away by this album but i find it boring with a vibe of pretentiousness. Maybe (and hopefully) one day i'll finally "get it" and be mesmerized by its brilliance. Eternity and Judgement are fucking legendary albums
Now, if Anathema can get their asses over to Canada, i can finally see them and die a happy man. Bring Antimatter for openers too.
That is all.

Do you have the written consent of Paradise lost and the RIAA for that recording??

Rise Pantheon Dreams was what Darren wanted to call Anathema's second album, er obviously the others didn't like the idea much...

I thought it was a great title, but obviously it was Dazs title

2+2= ?
