Anathema - The Silent Enigma LP
Anathema may be responsible for my love of melodic and emotional music combined with metal. Between these cats and The Cure, most of the things my soul craves from delicate music can be acquired. Having the ability to shift into the ultimate of heavy riffs absolutely helps seal the deal. Side bar: The Pentecost III EP may have my all time favorite guitar tone ever. Where that one seems to have a more gothic feeling emotionally, this album ushers in a change of vocal duties and carries us further into big chords and gruff vocals that seem to imply suffering, at all times. Very captivating how something can reach out in anger yet feel so vulnerable and graceful. They are the best to do it, in my opinion.
