Directed by acclaimed photographer/filmmaker Lasse Hoile (Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Dream Theater), the film and album package the magic of this unique evening where the band was joined by the Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra to kick off a lengthy world tour in support of its most successful album Weather Systems.

 

A limited mail-order fan’s-edition set, featuring bonus audio content and footage of the band recorded at the Union Chapel in London, is now available to pre-order from the Kscope store at: https://www.burningshed.com/store/kscope/product/272/4952/.

 

The concert is also available on the vinyl release Untouchable, which is already shipping from the Kscope store at: https://www.burningshed.com/store/kscope/product/272/4729/.

 

The release of Universal will also coincide with the band’s most extensive North American tour in its celebrated career.

 

Anathema has only performed twice as a full band in North America at the infamous Milwaukee Metal Fest in 2000 and 2001, as well as supporting a few dates of Blackfield’s 2011 tour as an acoustic duo.

 

The fall 2013 co-headlining tour with co-headliner Alcest and special guest Mamiffer will see the band play many cities in both the U.S. and Canada for the first time, beginning September 12 in Philadelphia, Pa.

 

 

Anathema has been at the forefront of the UK rock/metal movement since its inception. The band began its journey as a pioneer of melodic heavy music, influencing a myriad of bands to follow, before outgrowing all genres and limitations and fearlessly exploring new territory and new ways to express feeling through sound.

 

Stay tuned for more information on Anathema and Universal.
