After the wonderful doom/death releases of "Serenades" and "The Silent Enigma" Anathema reach 1996 with their third full-length release, "Eternity", with Vincent remaining in the position of the singer offering to the band various ways of expression. With this release this unique UK band evokes a bitter taste of "eternity", the beauty of forever yet the bitterness of reality and simple questions/thoughts like "do you think we are forever?" reminding of how limited is our time on earth. Anathema drink from the wine of despair, sorrow, painful beauty, bitterness and cherish with us deep emotions through poetic and utterly esoteric lyrics, through melodies of their souls cutting deep in your heart with rose-leafs leaving behind bleeding wounds and aching scars.

Another brilliant album! I'm not sure which one I like more - this one or "The Silent Enigma". 
On the previous albums main songwriter was Danny Cavanagh, but this time a lot of songwriting was done by Duncan Patterson, which resulted in a more diverse album with such great songs as Eternity, Far Away, Cries On The Wind etc.

8.6 is bloody low raiting for this incredible album. Silent Enigma , Eternity and Alternative 4 is the Holy Trinity of atmospheric metal.

Very beautiful release, it's my first album from them and I'm really glad I picked it up when I did on Halloween night of '11.

Overlooked often in the shadow of Alternative 4, Judgement and The Silent Enigma.
I feel this has it's own place in Anathema's lineage, it's possibly my 2nd favorite album from them and a great atmospheric doom record.
