Anathema were an English rock band from Liverpool. The group was formed in 1990 by Vincent and Daniel Cavanagh, bassist Jamie Cavanagh, drummer/keyboardist John Douglas, and vocalist Darren White.

The band maintained an active concert schedule throughout their career. They first toured in 1992 with the American death metal band Cannibal Corpse; they since performed throughout Europe, the United States, Central America, Australia,[10] New Zealand, India,[11] and Turkey. In the latter stages of their career, the band performed at notable venues such as London's O2 Arena,[12] Wembley Arena,[13] and the London Palladium,[14] as well as appearing on stage with Stephen Hawking at Starmus Festival 3.[15]

Anathema released 11 studio albums, including Distant Satellites (2014), which included the song "Anathema", named the Anthem of the Year at the third annual Progressive Music Awards.[16] Three years later The Optimist was named Album of the Year at the Progressive Music Awards.[17]
