"Greetings to all…

We have taken all of our recording equipment to a house in England where we have built a studio and begun the first of two records to be released this year. The recording has been going very well.

This first record is a semi-acoustic recording of many of our most loved older tracks. This will be released on Peaceville records. The working title is ‘temporary peace.’

(...)

In late winter/early spring, immediately following the recording of this semi-acoustic album, we will enter a studio to record the next full length anathema album, which be produced by Anathema and mixed by Steven Wilson, independently from a record company."

Opeth já gravou o álbum novo, e o Anathema irá lançar dois CDs, sendo um completamente inédito.
Me surpreendeu muito positivamente o fato de Steve Wilson produzir o Anathema e ainda mais deles lançarem o CD de inéditas sem um selo de distribuição.
O Anathema deveria ter alcançado um sucesso muito maior ao longo de sua carreira. Freqüentemente comparados ao Pink Floyd e até ao Radiohead, eles superam estas bandas com facilidade.
Quanto ao Opeth, veremos se a saída de Martin Lopez (bateria) e Peter Lingdren (guitarra) serão sentidas.
