Mascot Label Group announce the signing of English alternative band ANATHEMA, ahead of their performance at Space Rocks, London on 21st September.

The Award winning Alternative Rock masters have so far released 11 studio albums and have never felt afraid to leave the save havens. Starting off as a doom metal band with their debut ‘Serenades’ in 1993, the band’s style has evolved into a more progressive form of alternative rock music. The evolution has held on all the way up to their most recent studio album, 2017s conceptual album ‘The Optimist’, which revealed some of the darkest, most challenging music they ever put their name to, as well as a series of live albums and compilations.

Led by brothers’ Daniel (Vocals, Guitar, Keys) and Vincent Cavanagh (Guitar, Keys, Vocals) along with John Douglas (Percussion), Lee Douglas (Vocals) and Daniel Cardoso (Drums), they will be heading into the studio in 2020 to work on a new album.
