Best Melodic Death Metal Album EVER!.......2006-07-21

This set the stage for EVERY SINGLE melodic composition I've ever made (both on guitar and computer) and personally it's the peak of the Swedish Melodic Death Metal genre. It's a shame they've made a complete 180 transition on their recent albums but we all know where the beauty lies. BUY NOW!

One of the best melodic death metal albums, ever!.......2005-07-28

First of all, let me elaborate on the term "melodic death metal". I do not mean "Gothenburg" bands, but more accurately, Death Metal that contains some melody. Now that we've got that out of the way...

Anata is one of those rare bands that hasn't yet written a bad song. While most people are only familiar with their third album, "Under A Stone With No Inscription", I'm here to tell you that this album is every bit as worthy of praise.

"Released When You Are Dead" opens the album in a deceptive manner, as it is easily the most brutal song on the album. It is still quality though, with a massive slow riff in the middle. From here the songs become more melodic, with vocalist/guitarist/main man Fredrik Shalin alternating between growled and screamed vocals.

The third song, "Under Azure Skies", deserves a paragraph of its own. This, my friends, is one of the best metal songs I've ever heard, period. Battery. Angel Of Death. Davidian. Heartwork. Blinded By Fear. Under Azure Skies. It deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as these classics. Beginning with slow, chugging riffs, it is after the first verse that it kicks into high gear, harmonies running rampant. But then the song breaks down into a bass-led melody, with Schalin at first almost speaking the lyrics, then screaming over the soft music. I'm butchering the description, but it's really a powerful piece. The song picks up again with more heart-wrenching harmonies, screams and pounding drums. Simply godly.

I could go on and on about this wonderful album, but I won't. Instead, I'll just leave you to check out some of the music, and then maybe you'll buy it. Recommended like a rest after a hard day's work.

BEST DEATH METAL IN YEARS!.......2002-10-10

When all else in the extreme metal world has been said and done, when every band is simply a Morbid Angel or Internal Bleeding jr., when the slew of gothenburg clones seems never ending, here comes Anata with one of the finest death metal albums in recent history. Sadly, "The Infernal Depths of Hatred" will be overlooked by most metalheads, but hopefully someone will stumble across this review and give them a spin

Anata play a style that is undeniably death metal in nature, but completely unlike any other band's style and thoroughly unique. They use melody, but avoid cliche'd In Flames harmonies, opting for beautiful yet crushing twin guitar leads that are as catchy as they are complex. Ah, yes, another factor in Anata's sound: they write memorable riffs. Despite being more brutal than a truck full of fetuses colliding with a giant razorblade, Anata's songs stick to you. There is no filler... each track holds it's own.

The vocals are growled and there are no pitiful attempts at clean singing. Another awesome trait is the basswork... simply stunning bass interludes that are hypnotically melodic. Instead of following the guitars, Anata's bassist strays into his own territory while still complimenting the music.

I could go on like this for a few pages worth of text, but hey, don't believe me... check this incredible band out for yourself. 5 pentagrams of doom
