Album Review: Anathema - We're here because we're here

What a glorious and fantastic title for an album!
If there ever was the question asked why Anathema might be here, now we know it, the answer is simple and clear, they are here because they are here.

First I have to say, that this is the first album I heard from Anathema, I knew them a long time, but never listened to their work. So I discovered them by accident.
The Liverpudlians, who are headed by Vincent und Danny Cavanagh, required 7 years to release the next album after "A Natural Disaster" and it became a great Progressive Rock album. For all of you who think of Anathema as a Death Metal band, those times a over, this album has nothing to do with Death Metal and also nothing with Metal.
Surprisingly, this album should please fans of bands like Sigur Ros, Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree whose mastermind was the producer of "We're here because we're here." It is a very spheric album that you have to hear more than a few times to listen to, but than it will occupy your ear canal.

As I'm not the best describer of sounds and music, here is an example from youtube
 

For me "We're here because we're here" definitely is one of the best albums of the last few month!

8/10 points
