ANATHEMA Spreads 'Message Of Hope' With New Material

July 26, 2006

British metallers ANATHEMA have posted the following message on their official web site:

"We would like to confirm that ANATHEMA WILL play in Jordan [in August] despite the ongoing violence in neighbouring countries. Furthermore, ANATHEMA travel to play this concert with a determination to put on a very positive show.

"In the presence of troubles and conflict ongoing around the world, we feel as one with the ordinary people everwhere — those who wish only to live their lives in peace, with enough food on the table and enough love in their hearts. And so we travel with open hearts and with a positive message.

"Choose love.

"In addition, a second free download track: 'A Simple Mistake' will be released on this site in the next couple of days. This song and 'Everything' will definately be played in Jordan and all our forthcoming concerts. These songs represent the next chapter of ANATHEMA songwriting. Songs with a message of hope."

Metal Mind Productions released a new ANATHEMA DVD, entitled "A Moment in Time", on June 19 in Europe (July 18 in the U.S.). The main part of DVD was recorded in Poland at the famous Metal Mania Festival 2006 (the biggest hard rock/metal festival in Eastern Europe). The set list included their best songs plus a cover of PINK FLOYD's "Comfortably Numb". The guest performance was done by a string quartet. Bonus material includes live video footage, video clips, and a documentary. The DVD will be available also in a limited edition with bonus audio CD.

ANATHEMA are currently unsigned as a result of having been dropped by BMG/Zomba after their previous label, Music For Nations, was folded into parent company Zomba Records Group (the world's largest independent music group).
