Endless Ways is a banger. Second half is so much fun

Both are good, and the transition is pretty good as well

They couldn't arrive in time for the show, so only Anathema played...

Oh okay, that's a shame - did Anathema play any pre-Fine Day stuff? Because they didn't where I was at, which was one of the very few cons of that show

Yeah, they had a longer set and even played the first four Judgement tracks.

Aww that's awesome. Was my second time seeing them, the first time was as a guest for Opeth and Deep was definitely a major highlight of that show. That said, Danny played The Exorcist which was pretty impressive

Seeing that setlist, I think I like it better than the one I saw - the only song that makes me doubt that is Back to the Start (I actually hoped they wouldn't play it haha)

I like Danny's solo album.

Judgement and Alt4 definitely need to have tracks played in newer shows, they're just incredible.

I'm glad they didn't retire "Fragile Dreams" for that show, it's my favourite song of theirs.

I was a bit disappointed with the album as a whole tbh, but The Exorcist is an amazing song, one of the best of this year imo, up there with Endless Ways

I'd almost hop across the pond to see Anathema and Alcest live. I did see Alcest earlier this year tho, they were amazing.

Man when I saw them in Bristol a few months back the doors opened at 6:55pm and the bloody show started at 7pm... Naturally I got there about 7:20 and missed half of Alcest. Gutted - but who starts a show 5mins after doors open wtf...



Luckily I already saw that exact Alcest setlist a year back with MONO is the exact same venue so I wasn't too bummed out
