In a year marking the 35th anniversary ofAnathemas formation, a 2025 CD edition ofCrestfallen(1992) withnew audio masterbyJaime Gomezand two rare bonus tracksfrom an unreleased 7 (originally intended as part of Peacevilles Collectors Club series in the 1990s).———–Crestfallen was the bands first release for Peaceville and 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 and atmosphere in their brooding doom-heavy compositions and poetic landscapes; with effortless transitions between brutality (accentuated by the growled vocals of then singer Darren White) and beauty on tracks such as The Sweet Suffering and the now classic They Die.This set the stage for their debut full-length LP, Serenades, further expanding upon this captivating formula and showing Anathemas diversity and 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.
