I have Lux Aeturna, which is absolutely great, but how is the band's latest album?

On topic: I figured some of you may have an appreciation for Chicago-based doom metal bands. Therefore, while some of you may know these guys, the rest of you make sure to check out The Living Fields:

Yeah...Aquaria "Shambala" is also a great disc. Worth tracking down. The band Endless is the singers other side band, which is equally as good too.

Unfortunately, the band is spread across three continents. Please don't take any of the following as an absolute truth, because I am not entirely sure about all of it...

The principal songwriter, I believe, lives in Chicago while the drummer is in Canada and the singer is over in the UK. The singer has another band called MonsterWorks or something like that and the drummer has been involved with multiple outfits,

EDIT: Also, The Living Fields recently signed to Candlelight, so I am hoping for a new album shortly...

Quadfather...
Very interesting. Thanks for the info.
That certainly explains why they aren't a household name locally.

Take a look at the liner notes on that CD.

Well Antimatter sounds like Anathema for a reason. I like the band a lot but do not own any CDs. I should probably buy the 2 acoustic ones. I'm a big fan of that type of music. As I get older I noticed I tend to gravitate more towards the mellow/slower music and in fact that's pretty much all I listen to now. Every once in a while I'll throw in something heavy, but not too often anymore.
