The Crestfallen EP (1992). The style of early Anathema was a strange juxtaposition between smooth, melancholy guitar leads and deformed death metal children with one leg longer than the other trying to dance. The rhythms are sometimes absolutely horrible and do not even create distinctive riffs, just juddering patterns that do nothing for atmosphere or heaviness. Many of the riffs are dominated by bass and drums, but when we get something with recognizable shapes and moods it picks up something from the scuzzy production and works a treat, conjuring real feeling with ease. The first two songs definitely have the pick of the riffs and manage to express their anguish a little better: the melodies are also all over them, and these features give the release its character. They are in keeping with the gothic lyrics and they have a wonderfully creepy and morose way of leading you to lonely places and putting the fear of God into you like that woman on the cover.

Pentecost III (1995). 1995 was a prolific year for Anathema. Not only did they release a full length studio album, but they also recorded this "Pentecost III" EP. Actually, since it lasts for over forty minutes, it can as well be considered almost as a standard album.
On Pentecost III, Anathema’s songcraft has become more epic in both duration and structure, featuring lengthy instrumental passages functioning like ambient soundscapes, the abstract nature of these songs providing a vast spatial quality which allows for the gradual establishment and sustainability of atmospheres ranging from tranquil to gothic, as well as more flexibility for the vocals which have evolved into a compromise between growling and moaning, still expressed with a lamenting spirit suitable for the somber imagery of the esoteric lyrics, with far less presence than on previous efforts, but the vocal phrases benefit from this more wide-open style of composition, propelled by a rhythm section of melodic bass-playing and a hard-hitting, physical, and dynamic drummer, whose playing, even during the slowest of movements but especially in more rhythmically urgent sections, remains thunderous and crashing, providing a foundational power in both sound and momentum. The guitar sound manages an intriguing balance in atmospheric sound with something peculiarly ethereal in the distorted feedback which envelopes the nostalgic riffs, interacting with the resounding energy of the rhythm section to produce a harmonious contrast between the serene and bombastic, clashing the dream-world with harsh reality in a unification of desire and purpose, transitionally flowing in arcane arrangements allowing yearning guitar melodies and solos to emerge like radiant sunlight through dark clouds.
