TRACK LIST

ANATHEMA’S DEBUT STUDIO RELEASE FROM 1992 FEATURING MASTERFUL, SORROWFUL & MELODIC DOOM METAL. PRESENTED ON CD FORMAT WITH REMASTERED AUDIO & TWO BONUS TRACKS.

Anathema formed in Liverpool in the summer of 1990 & grew to become a major force in the doom metal genre with their early works, before exploring more rock & progressive elements over time to great success. 

‘Crestfallen’ was the band’s first release for Peaceville & contained reworked tracks from their ‘All Faith Is Lost’ demo as well as new material, clearly showing a band with an exceptional grasp for melody & atmosphere in their brooding doom-heavy compositions & poetic landscapes; with effortless transitions between brutality (accentuated by the ‘growled’ vocals of then singer Darren White) & beauty on tracks such as ‘The Sweet Suffering’ & the now classic ‘They Die’. 

This set the stage for their debut full-length LP, ‘Serenades’, further expanding upon this captivating formula & showing Anathema’s diversity & body of influences stretching way beyond the confines of metal. 

‘Crestfallen’ was recorded at the legendary Academy Studios in Yorkshire, UK, in 1992 (Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, etc), with Keith Appleton at the helm. 

In a year marking the 35th anniversary of Anathema’s formation, this CD edition of ‘Crestfallen’ features a new audio master courtesy of Jaime Gomez at Orgone Studios & includes two extremely rare bonus tracks from an unreleased 7”, which was originally intended as part of Peaceville’s Collector’s Club series in the 90’s. 
1. ...and I Lust (05:47)
2. The Sweet Suffering (06:42)
3. Everwake (02:41)
4. Crestfallen (10:17)
5. They Die (07:59)
