Weather Systems – Album Review
It was in May of 2010 after a seven year gap
that Anathema released “We’re Here Because We’re Here”. That album received
much praised and was well received by their fans old and new. So it is with no surprise
with theApril 16th (Europe) & April 24th 2012 (US)
release of “Weather Systems” that this amazing album has received that same
attention as the one before it.
Weather Systems is a very – emotional album
and not in that term you would connect it as “Emo”. No, this album is way above
and far beyond that. This album feels more like a sense of life being lived or
having lived your life and now preparing for the next chapter in one’s life. It’s
basically the soundtrack to life. Anathema’s ability to dig deep into their
creative & artistic soul is just so amazing, overwhelming and unbelievable.
This album will guarantee to leave you speechless from the first track
Untouchable pt1 to the last Internal landscapes.

Anathema Anathema Anathema....... where shall I began?
This band was brought to my attention by an interview I watched on YouTube of HIM frontman Ville Valo. It was an interview for HIM's February 2010 release of Screamworks: Love in theory and practice, Chapters 1-13. Valo mention bands that loved listening to like My Dying Bride, Cathedral, Paradise Lost and Anathema. So of course, if you know me well then you'd probably figured out that I was already googling and Youtubing these bands.
Note: love My Dying Bride, Cathedral and Paradise Lost......
But It was Anathema that won my heart and a place in my Top Favorite Bands of all time (for me of course).
It was last year in May around the same time they released their latest album "We're here because we're here" that I heard a song called "Lost Control" from their 1998 album Alternative 4. Thanks the gods for YouTube!
"Lost Control" (Alternative 4) - Anathema
That's when I decided to see if they had any social networking site such as a Facebook, Myspace or Reverbnation. I found them on Facebook and "Liked" the page. First song of the rotation for me was "Thin Air" off the May 2010 "We're here because we're here" album. This song blew me away the vocals the lyrics the musical arrangements .........it was like, YES!!!! This is the sound I've been waiting for from a band!
"Thin Air" (We're here because we're here) - Anathema
Next was "Dreaming Light" Its the third track off the album. I didn't know there was a video till I checked out there website http://www.anathema.ws. After hearing this I immediately tried to purchase it but soon found out that it was not yet available here in the US. They then later signed with The End Records for North American distribution and soon the US/Canada release was set for June 6 2011.
"Dreaming Light" (We're here because we're here) - Anathema
which can also be viewed on the bands website http://www.anathema.ws
Sometimes I find it hard to explain and to compare what a certain band sound like and in this case (for me) its not easy. Anathema is a unique band in my book. They are not like other bands. If you've listened to their past heavier albums/EP's i.e. the crestfallen ep, serenades, pentacost iii, the silent enigma and eternity you'll notice the gradual change from Doom metal to a more Progressive rock style with a bit of an ambient feel. But as (I) listen to this present album along with the past releases I notice that they have only gotten better with time. Anathema has truly evolved into something magnificent.

ECHOES THE FALL
Echoes the Fall an awesome rock band hailing all the way from Phoenix, AZ and has undoubtedly left there mark not only in their great home state but also in the music community as a whole.
I first caught wind of the song "This is not Goodbye" from there self-titled EP that was released in July 2011. There are also three more track on the EP (a total of 4) songs "Because of You", "Start Over Again" and "Burn It Down". I must say as I'm listening to this EP they have the same drive and force from such bands as P.O.D., Linkin Park, SevenDust and Chevelle. And I love those bands so you already know that I am liking this band right of the bat from their first song off the EP.
Echoes The Fall released a full-lenght album 2009 "Bloodline" with the former frontman for the band David Mackey who recently left the band in June 2011. Mackey has been with Echoes The Fall for 15 years, but don't worry the decision was made on good terms all around. With that said having acquired Jeromy Moorehead (former member of "One Minute Halo") things are already off to a good start.
Echoes The Fall are Jeromy Moorehead (Vocals) Mike Gable (Guitar) Trevor Keeling (Bass) Myles Byrum (Guitar) Mitch Gable (Drums) you can now catch them on tour w/ 10 Years across the U.S. from July to August {ETF}. Here are other site to check them out at and listen to their music, trust me you will not be disappointed!!!
EP NOW AVALIABLE ON ITUNES.
