Anathema - Silent Enigma (Black Vinyl Lp)

Facts The Silent Enigma, Anathema's second studio album, was originally released in the summer of '95 and was the first release on which guitarist Vincent Cavanagh took over the vocal duties of the departed Darren White. Where Darren's vocals were guttural, Vincent's style pushed the possibilities for Anathema onwards and upwards, with a scope and breadth beyond his years, complimenting an ethereal roller-coaster of thoughtful atmospherics and crushing Celtic Frost style riffs - the Swiss legends being a notable inspiration. What emerged was a fine example of highly-atmospheric and often emotional gothic doom, spawning classic Anathema songs such as "Restless Oblivion", "Sunset of Age", "The Silent Enigma" and "A Dying Wish". Lauded by the metal press and fans alike as a doom metal classic, the album has remained a favorite within the metal scene. Vinyl LP with inner sleeve with lyrics.
