Anathema

We’re Here Because We’re Here
Anathema return with their new album, We’re Here Because
We’re Here. This is the first collection of new material from
the band since the 2003 album, A Natural Disaster. A multi
coloured, multi layered work of unbridled emotion, passion
and intensity, the album is being mixed by Steven Wilson
(Porcupine Tree) and is eagerly awaited by their legions of
fans around the globe.
Anathema have been at the forefront of the UK rock/metal
movement for many years. They began their journey as
pioneers of melodic heavy music, influencing a myriad of
bands to follow them, before outgrowing all genres and
limitations as they fearlessly explored new territory and new
ways to express feeling through sound.
Formed in Liverpool in 1990, the band’s sound, and musical
vision has continually evolved over the ensuing years while
always remaining true to their original goal of creating forward
thinking, meaningful, passionate and honest music. With
each release they moved beyond the boundaries of limited
scenes and pigeon holes, creating a complex and emotive
atmospheric sound. Countless world tours have built up a
loyal international fan base and the Natural Disaster tour saw
them playing hundreds of shows in over 30 countries.
This limited special edition version of the album comes packed
in a rigid digi-book with a 16 page booklet and features the
album on CD plus a DVD-A with a 5.1 surround mix of the
album.
