‘A Vision of A Dying Embrace’ contains a night of spellbinding Doom Metal from Anathema’s live show in Krakow, Poland, in 1996. Whilst still reasonably early in the career of the band, & with rhythm guitarist Vincent Cavanagh taking on vocal duties only relatively recently for the sublime ‘The Silent Enigma’ opus, the set contained a whole selection of now-established classics from Anathema’s first two studio albums & ‘Pentecost III’ EP, with epics like ‘A Dying Wish’, ‘Sleepless’, & ‘Mine is Yours’ captured in their purest & rawest form in the live setting.

Anathema has spent most of their career making music that defies description. As part of the “Peaceville three”, along with Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride, Anathema have carved a strong legacy since their inception at the turn of the 1990’s, to become a widely revered & respected band within both the metal world & beyond, as their sound & compositions progressed from doom/death metal into more rock & progressive territory with each subsequent release, becoming one of the UK’s most cherished & critically acclaimed rock bands.

This edition of ‘A Vision of A Dying Embrace’ is presented on the vinyl format for the first time & includes printed inner sleeve.
