آناتما..تعبیری تازه از سبک هوی متال

بيوگرافی

نام گروه:
آناتما(ANATHEMA)
معني: نامي که در انجيل امده و به معني "هر چيزي که لعنت شود" است.

اعضاي فعلي گروه:
وينسنت کاوانا(ويني ):خواننده و گيتار
دنييل کاوانا(دني):گيتار
جيمز کاوانا(جيمي):گيتار باس
جان داگلاس(جان):درام و پرکاشن
کيت لس اسميت(لس):کيبورد.

اولين آلبوم اين گروه انگليسي ساکن ليورپول سال 1991 بيرون داده شد که ترانه هاي اين البوم به سبک DEATH METAL بودند.تا 4 سال بعد که گروه 5 آلبوم ديگه داد همين سبک اجرا ميشد.تا اين جا گروه آناتما زياد مورد توجه قرار نگرفت.

اما سال 1996 گروه آناتما سبک خودش و عوض کرد و البوم eternity رو اجرا کردند.حالا ويني خواننده ي گروه شده بود.و دارن وايت گروه رو ترک ميکنه.ميشه گفت سبک اين آلبوم DOOM METAL و lyric ها کوتاه و حالتي خشمگين دارند.البوم با يه تراک بي کلام شروع ميشه.و يکي از ترانه ها اين البوم به اسم hope به roy harper تعلق داره.

مغز متفکر گروه در ان موقع دانکن پترسون بوده.که ساخت موسيقي و ;lyric ها را به عهده داشته.که شاهکار هم ميکرد!

آلبوم بعدي گروه که سال 1998 عرضه شد شبيه البوم قبلي اجرا شده اما از اون حالات خشمگينانه البوم eternity کمتر توش ديده ميشه.آهنگاي البوم alternativ 4 داراي Lyric خيلي قوي و عميقي هستند.و کلا فضاي آهنگا نسبت به البوم قبلي آروم تر و عميق تر شده.

يک سال بعد آناتما با البوم که هم از نظر Lyirc هم موسيقي شاهکار بود توجه منتقدان موسيقي رو بخودش جلب کرد.البوم judgment يکي از بهترين آلبوم هاي آناتماست که به خاطر فوت مادر برادران کاوانا در ان سال اين البوم به مادر انها تقديم شده.
اين آلبوم آخرين آلبومي بود که دانکن پترسون با آناتما کار کرد.بعد از اين آلبوم دانکن پترسون از گروه جدا شد و با macheal moss گروه به اسم antimmatter تشکيل دادند.

حالا با جدا شدن دانکن وظايف او به عهده ی دني ميفته... .
آلبوم a fin day to exit که سال 2001 در حال به بازار عرضه شد که تغريبا تمام lyic ها و موسيقي آلبوم را دني ساخته.حال هواي اين البوم خيلي آروم تز از البوم قبليه و ميشه گفت اين آلبوم تو سبک alternative rock اجرا شده.
البوم بعدي هم با همين حالا هواي البوم اجرا شد.اسم البوم natural disaster و سال 2003 عرضه شد.

تو اين آلبوم يه ترانه زيبا اجرا شده که صداي ويني بصورت الکتريکي.خود ويني خيلي ازين آهنگ خوشش اومده.مثله آلبوم قبلي lyric و موسيقي کار دنيه.

گروه آناتما هميشه از منتقدان موسيقي نمره بالا گرفته اما طرفداران زيادي نداشته.اما به گفته ويني اين براي اونا اهميت زيادي نداره.چون اونا براي خودشون ميخونن.هيچ محدوديتي تو گفتن شعر و موسيقي نندارن و تو اين زمينه آزادند.
فعلا عمده فعليت گروه اجراي کنسرت هاي متعدد توي اروپاست.دني ميگه که ما آهنگاي جديدمون و تو اين کنسرت امتحان ميکنيم و اونايي که مورد پسند مردم قرار ميگيره جمع ميکنيم و تو يه آلبوم عرضه ميکنيم.

INFO		LYRICS
SHROUD OF FALSE words & music : Duncan		We are just a moment in time A blink of an eye A dream for the blind Visions from a dying brain I hope you don't understand
FRAGILE DREAMS words & music : Danny		Tonight your soul sleeps, but one day you will feel real pain Maybe then you will see me as I am A fragile wrec on storm of emotion Countless times I trusted you, I let you back in, Knowing... Yearning... you know I should have run... but I stayed Maybe I always knew, My fragile dreams would be broken for you. Today I introduced myself To my own feelings, In silent agony, after all these years, They spoke to me... after all these years Maybe I always knew, My fragile dreams would be broken for you.
EMPTY words & music : Duncan		Empty vessel under the sun wipe the dust from my face another morning black sunday coming down again I'm coming down again Empty vessel, empty veins, empty bottle, wish for rain that pain again wash the blood off my face, the pulse from my brain pain again... and I feel that pain again I'm looking over my shoulder cos millions will whisper I'm killing myself again Maybe I'm dying faster but nothing ever lasts I remember a night from my past when I was stabbed in the back And it's all coming back and I feel that pain again I abhor you, I condemn you cos this pain will never end You got away without a scratch and now you're walking on a lucky path I have to laugh but you'd better watch your back There's pathetic opposition, they're the cause of my condition I'll be coming back for them I've a solution for this sad situation Nothing left but to kill myself again Because I'm so empty
LOST CONTROL words & music : Duncan		Life has betrayed me once again, I accept that some things will never change. I've left your tiny minds magnify my agony and it's left me with a chemical dependency for sanity. Yes, I am faling... how much longer till I hit the ground? I can't tell you why I'm breaking down. Do you wonder why I prefer to be alone? Have I really lost control? I'm coming to an end, I've realised what I could have been. I can't sleep so I take a breath and hide behind my bravest mask, I admit I've lost control. Lost control.
RE-CONNECT words & music : Vincent		The fragments of connection died Some things just won't fade with time Hide behind a transparent eye You can't see me but I can you... Betray without a moment's thought Regret nothing but getting caught Your time comes and here I stand Why should I hold out my hand to you... I could never turn to you I was silenced by that look in your eye I feel I'm slipping back again Black cold night I toss and turn I'm sinking feel so... drained Shroud me, llind me, sick, weak, empty, drag me... into pain I tried so hard, don't drown me, bound to me self indulgently... crazed Black as coal, my sunken soul, will it ever be... saved? Come on and twist that knife again Well I'd like to see you fucking try Never going back again An answer won't come from me Confront your own worst enemy What does your mirror see Is it time to face up to me?
INNER SILENCE words & music : Danny		When the silence beckons, And the day draws to a close, When the light of your life sighs, And love dies in your eyes, Only then will I realise, What you mean to me.
ALTERNATIVE 4 words & music : Duncan		It's killing you, you're killing me, I'm clinging on to my sanity, All I need is a short term remedy, Come and hide me from this terrible reality... Dreaded memories flood back to me, But there's still a wilful mind behind this cold, psychotic eyes, Now I tread this path so differently, I've opened my mind and darkened my entire life. I'll dance with the angels to celebrate the holocaust, And far beyond my far gone pride, Is knowing that we'll soon be gone, Knowing that I'll soon be gone...
REGRET words & music : Danny		As I drift away... far away from you, I feel all alone in a crowded room, Thinking to myself "There's no escape from this fear regret loneliness..." Visions of love and hate A collage behind my eyes Remnants of dying laughter Echoes of silent cries I wish I didn't know now what I never knew Flashback Memories punish me once again Sometimes I remember all the pain that I have seen Sometimes I wonder what might have been Visions of love and hate A collage behind my eyes Remnants of dying laughter Echoes of silent cries And sometimes I despair at who I've become I have to come to terms with what I've done The bittersweet taste of fate We can't outrun the past Destined to find an answer A strenght I never lost I know there is a way, My future is not set, For the tide has turned, But still I never learned to live without regret.
FEEL words & music : Duncan		I've a feeling I may not be coming down from this, I was searching through the heavans and somehow I slipped, I feel, I'm seeing so clear Trying to forget tomorrow and all that's happened, This is not the way, the way I was meant to be. I feel, I'm seeing so clear, I thought I was never going to die. I feel, I'm seeing so clear, We need more time. Slipping away, I think I'm gonna crack, Misplaced trust, loyalty stabbed in the gut. I feel, I'm seeing so clear, I thought I was never coming back. I've been down for a while, And now I'm coming back...
DESTINY words & music : Duncan		I tried to murder the lonely, Contemplate our mortality. Into infinity, Frozen memory Wipe the tears from yesterday, A time for change, take the pain away. Angel, my destiny, Can you feel me?

DEEP

words : Vincent
music : Danny, Dave

the spoken words (whisper) are very personal to Vincent, also on live gigs he changes them, depending on what is going on in his life Feel my heart burning
Deep inside yearning
I know it is coming
A fettered heart, waking
A tainted youth, fading
Leave it all behind
Delirious again
Mesmerise my senses
Our souls entwine one more time
All our times will come
Certain oblivion
Leaving nothing but the memories of
All the things you give
They're all you'll leave behind
[within their mind]
?(whisper)
Open laughter held in distant days
(as those) Eternal stars have changed
I know that it can't be the same
There's no lament for you tonight
Feel my heart burning
Deep inside yearning
I know it is coming
All our times will come
Certain oblivion
Leaving nothing but the memories of
All the things you give
They're all you'll leave behind
[within their mind]
And time recedes every day
You can search your soul but you won't see
As we pass ever on and away
Toward some blank infinity

PITILESS

words : Vincent, Dave, John
music : Danny Is it the emptiest

Of all your broken hearted feelings
A serious misconception
To choose a path that led to ruin
I live for today
Can't get away from the burning inside
Ashes to ash, dust to dust
So quick to point the finger
When you're the source of your condition
Why should I feel sympathy
When you only show me nothing
I live for today
Can't get away from the burning inside
Ashes to ash, dust to dust
I could stare for a thousand years
Penetrate your deepest fears
Leave you cold with faceless embrace
Then disappear without a trace

FORGOTTEN HOPES

words & music : Danny

Hey you rotting in an alcoholic (empty) shell
Banging on the walls of your intoxicated mind
Do you ever wonder why you were left alone
As your heart grew colder
And finally turned to stone
Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Do you ever dream of escaping?
Don't you ever dream of escaping?
Pathetic oblivion
Forgotten hopes buried in the soul's lonely grave
Pathetic oblivion
Remember how you were before you locked your heart away
Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Do you ever dream of escaping?
Don't you ever dream of escaping?

DESTINY IS DEAD
music : Danny, Dave (instrumental)

MAKE IT RIGHT (F.F.S.)
words & music : John

abbreviation F.F.S. means "For Fucks Sake" I know that I want you
I know that I need you
But I can't pretend that
This'll make it right
You whisper your name
But I can't hear you
Don't leave me behind
Lend me your hand
I can feel them
I think they're closing in
Don't leave me behind
Lend me your hand
Let me feel you
By me side
Be where I can hear you
I long to feel

ONE LAST GOODBYE

words & music : Danny

How I needed you
How I grieve now you're gone
In my dreams I see you
I awake so alone
I know you didn't want to leave
Your heart yearned to stay
But the strength I always loved in you
Finally gave way
Somehow I knew you would leave me this way
Somehow I knew you could never, never stay
And in the early morning light
After a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away and I grieve
In my dreams I can see you
I can tell you how I feel
In my dreams I can hold you
And it feels so real
I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
And somehow I knew you could never, never stay
And somehow I knew you would leave me
And in the early morning light
After a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away
Oh, I wished, I wished you could have stayed

PARISIENNE MOONLIGHT

words & music : Danny

I feel I know you
I don't know how
I don't know why
I see you feel for me
You cried with me
You would die for me
I know I need you
I want you
To be free of all the pain
You have inside
You cannot hide
I know you tried
To be who you couldn't be
You tried to see inside of me
And now I'm leaving you
I don't want to go
Away from you
Please try to undersatand
Take my hand
Be free of all the pain
You hold inside
You cannot hide
I know you tried to feel

JUDGEMENT

words : Vincent, Danny
music : Danny, John

Asleep is the rose, in tired innocence dreaming time away. Secure in the comfort of slumbers faint embrace. Blissfully ignorant, unaware of the imminence. Recurring memories emerge from the deep of old secrets unforgotten sleep. They sink beneath the surface just long enough for you to breathe. Then return to choke you when you wake up alone. Shredded inside there's one place left to turn. A long-term problem, a temporary remedy, but fuck it all anyway you can pretend to be happy. So many years of pathetic lies, empty promises and unfulfilled dreams are scattered like dust into the winds. Looking for the sun that eclipsed behind black feathered wings. Tomorrow never comes, there was only ever one day but now it's too late.
The inequity of fate
The pains of love and hate
The heart-sick memories
That brought you to your knees
And the times when we were young
When life seemed so long
Day after day
You burned it all away
All the hate that feeds your needs
All the sickness you conceive
All the horror you create
Will bring you to your knees
And the times when we were young
When life seemed so long
Day after day
You burned it all away

DON'T LOOK TOO FAR

words & music : John

If I begin to feel lighter
Hold me down
And I'll be yours for evermore
God bless this mess I'm in
For it is time
To be rid of a certain sin
A cool breeze down my spine
And if I'm really here
Then I feel fine
A freelance child
You bring it all back
This world is eating me inside
Don't look too far
Missing a degree of warmth
A name without a face
I'm losing grip all the same
I sever the line that divides
I sever the feelings inside
I sever between you and me
And I want to learn to fly
Bring the pain right back again
Is this all there is of me
Hearts and minds, find the time
That in the end there was
No possible reason for anything
Don't look too far

EMOTIONAL WINTER

words : Vincent
music : Danny

Speak to me
For I have seen
Your waning smile
Your scars concealed
So far from home, do you know you're not alone
Sleep tonight
Sweet summerlight
Scattered yesterdays, the past is far away
How fast time passed by
The transience of life
Those wasted moments won't return
And we will never feel again
Beyond my dreams
Ever with me
You flash before my eyes, a final fading sigh
But the sun will rise
And tears will dry
Of all that is to come, the dream has just begun
And time is speeding by
The transience of life
Those wasted moments won't return
And we will never feel again

WINGS OF GOD

words & music : John

No one can find me
Here in my soul
Kicking and screaming
Out of control
Calm myself down now
Nobody knows
No one can find me
Here in my soul
Hooked on your problems
Do I know why
And if you come my way again
Would I, would I lend a hand
Would I understand
Lend a hand
Understand
No one can find me
Here in my soul
Kicking and screaming
Out of control
Calm myself down
Nobody knows
No one can find me
Here in my soul
Solitude was never, never seen as loneliness
And things need time
And time leads to other things
And playing roles
Which are limited
By the poor fund of knowledge
In the sick, sick world
We all fall down
Once in a while
Escaping the law of the unexplained pains
Would lend a hand
Would understand
Understand

ANYONE, ANYWHERE

words : Dave
music : Dave, Danny

No one seems to care anymore
(as) I wander through this night all alone
No one feels the pain I have inside
Looking at this world trough my eyes
No one really cares where I go
Searching to feel warmth forever more
The wheels of life they turn without me
Now you are gone eternally
No
Don't leave me here
The dream carries on
Inside
I know
It's not too late
Lost moments blown away
Tonight
Mankind, with your heresy
Can't you see that this is killing me
There's no one in this life
To be here with me at my side
