Optimist

Anathema have spent the vast majority of their career making music that defies description. Formed in the mid 90s, they have risen to become one of the UK's most cherished and critically acclaimed rock bands. After premiering new music on a dedicated UK & NL tour in November 2016, culminating in a stage performance at London's Wembley Arena with Opeth, the band have been teasing the release of their first full-length since 2014's spellbinding 'Distant Satellites'. A 2-disc Mediabook, featuring the full album in 5.1 surround sound and in high-res stereo on DVD. Mastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios in London, engineered by Kevin Burleigh, and 5.1 mixing from Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief).
