Anathema formed in Liverpool in the summer of 1990 & grew to become a major force in the doom metal genre with their early works, before exploring more rock & progressive elements over time to great success. Harder, heavier and darker than what followed, Anathema's 1993 debut, 'Serenades', received glowing reviews and, even at this stage, suggested that this was a band who stood apart from their competitors. Original vocalist Darren White said at the time, "Anathema is not just another heavy metal band but a presence and a power in every living spirit." They certainly didn't disappoint, as the album garnered universal acclaim. UK Metal Hammer made it their album of the month, and with the release of the video for Sweet Tears, it wasn't long before Headbanger's Ball took note, airing the video on a weekly basis. This culminated in a live interview and a Peaceville/Headbanger's Ball live spectacular at Nottingham's Rock City with Anathema's label mates My Dying Bride and At The Gates. Serenades managed to blend fragility with raging aggression to stunning effect and heralded the dawn of one of the best Metal bands in the world. Even at such an early stage in the band's career, it was obvious to all who listened just how special Anathema could be. Review: Anathema's debut displays signs of the diverse changes that followed - Not a bad album, a bit of a shock if your opener to Anathema was something like Judgement. In places you can hear some riffing and chord progressions you would later hear on one of their more gothic rock/metal albums. These songs aswell as songs like J'ai fait une promesse and Dreaming: The Romance show the band already starting to evolve. Then its time for The Silent Enigma Review: The First... - of 5 five-star albums. Alternative 4 is as far as I can go--they just went generic goth after that, as have Tiamat, Amorphis, and Paradise Lost (!). Only My Dying Bride have failed to succumb to this trap--Cheers to the True Goth/Death/Doom Metal!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CHYAA34 | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (97) | | Date First Available | December 17, 2012 | | Item model number | WA-27796832 | | Label | PEACEVILLE | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | PEACEVILLE | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2017 | | Product Dimensions | 12.28 x 12.4 x 0.15 inches; 10.24 ounces | ## Images ![Serenades - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Cj6UAibCL.jpg) ![Serenades - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Dn+zGUP3L.jpg) ![Serenades - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913Nd5KswwL.jpg) ![Serenades - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91hxlIZiJML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anathema's debut displays signs of the diverse changes that followed *by A***M on March 28, 2017* Not a bad album, a bit of a shock if your opener to Anathema was something like Judgement.

Alternative 4 is as far as I can go--they just went generic goth after that, as have Tiamat, Amorphis, and Paradise Lost (!). Only My Dying Bride have failed to succumb to this trap--Cheers to the True Goth/Death/Doom Metal!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Doom/Death Metal *by D***. on September 11, 2013* One of the classic British doom/death albums of the 90's, joined with the works of My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost. Really depressing and romantic sounding doom with dark vocals. Gets a bit whiny at times, but overall, pretty awesome. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68563273-serenades](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68563273-serenades) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
