Scheduled be released on September 5 2011, “Falling Deeper” is an upcoming compilation album in which the band recorded different versions of their past songs, a follow-up to 2008’s acoustic compilation “Hindsight”.
The album was produced by guitarist and main composer of the band Daniel Cavanagh, while the orchestral arrangements are from Dave Stewart who worked so successfully with Anathema on “We’re Here Because We’re Here”. Dutch singer Anneke van Giersbergen sings on “Everwake”. The album was recorded and mixed by Andrea Wright at the legendary Parr Street Studios in Liverpool.

Anathema was formed in 1990 as a doom metal band and by the release of “Eternity” in 1996, after vocalist Darren White parted with the band to formed The Blood Divine, they slowly turn to more atmospheric sounds, and starting the transition to clean vocals, vocal duties being overtaken by guitarist Vincent Cavanagh.
This “new” Anathema delivered some beautiful, atmospheric, progressive metal albums. “Falling Down” is a smooth, ethereal and beautiful trip, the songs revealing different, unexpected dimensions.
