The original CD edition of Anathema's first non-demo/single release "The Crestfallen", released on Peaceville records in 1992.
Perhaps the more commonly recognized version of the EP appeared at the tail end of a reissue of the band's 2nd EP "Pentecost III". This video differs in that the versions of the songs "Crestfallen" and "They Die" are the versions that originally appeared on the original VILE 36TCD CD release and not the 7"
demo versions that replaced them on the said "Pentecost III" reissue.
On "The Crestfallen", Anathema were:
Darren White - Vocals
Vincent Cavanagh - Guitars
Daniel Cavanagh - Lead Guitars
Duncan Patterson - Bass Guitar
John Douglas - Drums

As a distraught 90's teen struggling with a serious case of undiagnosed chronic depression, this and "serenades" were my daily comfort, my lullaby, my blanket, my ice cream, my booze. Many a lonely night was spent uncontrollingly sobbing while listening over and over to these, while reading aling with the lyrics to the bittersweet understanding that somewhere in this world, in faraway England, there was at least one other person who understood how I felt.. Those were crazy days.

[@pjsmith2744]

When this album came out in 1992, the wave of sad metal had just taken off. Close to Paradise Lost and My Dyind Bride, they formed the new kind of heavy British doom metal. A milestone at the time...

welcome back to the early 90's... even today, i.e., 30 years later, I am still being blown away by this utterly reckless courage to sound as raw and genuine as one could ever get when elaborating on the very specific "musical and lyrical repertoire" of what doom metal is all about... says someone who has been there, watching them play (and share their suffering in front of 30-50 people) live on stage at several venues, long before anybody else would even notice that this band exists.

1. ...and I Lust 05:48 Hide lyrics Stately columns standing in solemn rows Such empty honours are suitable for those Whose death erases all renown and fame And vanquishes their glory with their name Wandering aimlessly through dead filled fields Rewards are just, who knows what absence yields? By the golden beauty of dusk and the sun low in our sky By the haunting shadows of trees and graves, mesmerized am I. Searching deep inside trying to reach my dreams I see a face stare back at me... oh, so serene. By the golden beauty of dusk and the sun low in our sky By the haunting shadows of trees and graves, mesmerized am I. Those whispering shades... sad, silent glades But not for those whose superior worth After death extols them to the earth I would even venture to assume That one need not build for them a tomb By human art, since glory heaven sent Serves them as a living monument Pain is a far away land, Misery, a lifetime's journey... ...and I lust for death (judgement). 2. The Sweet Suffering 06:42 Hide lyrics As a shadow is cast overhead I rejoice in the coming of the gloom Lifting my eyes to view what, to me, is beauty I decipher what is read in the cloud The verse is shouting out and ringing in my ears The claps of thunder, scared? No, me I revere in the enchantment of mother nature Her caress it soothes and brings me joy Kneeling in the rainfall Wind's whispers beckoning Inhaling the sweet scent Elation is overwhelming The way is dim, but somehow I find it One by one the victims of life are dwindling Me, take me... grief no more if death will save me Take me, save me, show me salvation Lead me... a sacred path, reinstate creation Show me joy, grief, pride and show me your envy The way is dim but somehow I find it. 3. Everwake 02:42 Hide lyrics Somniferous whisperings of scarlet fields Sleep calling me and my dreams are wondrous My reality abandoned (I traverse afar) Not a care if I never wake 4. Crestfallen 10:18 Hide lyrics I cry a tear of hope but it is lost in helplessness The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul For the deepest love I had has dissolved before my eyes My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer All emotion is consumed by an inner silence All grief is unassuaged by disconsulate tears I want for nothing, I live for nothing I am waiting to die but I am afraid of dying Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer Crestfallen emotion Wallowing in guilt and drowning for evermore Falling deeper into fear My inner self is now a sleeper of stone Help me. 5. They Die 08:00 Hide lyrics All tears restrained for years Their grief is confined Which destroys my mind An ode to their plight is this dirge Some yearn for lugubrious silence (It is the) serenity in the image of coffins Shall life renew these bodies of a truth? All death will he annul, all tears assuage? Fill the void veins of life, again with youth And wash with an immortal water, age They die.

​@@MantiaRyche I really love metal, however is difficult for me to understand why for most of the metalheads is hard to enjoy other music genres. Don't compare the current anathema with Nicki Minaj or Justin Bieber. The new Anathema is not pop, is prog/atmospheric rock, and is good music. The metal comunity needs to understand that there's awesome music outside metal too.
