I’m really happy that after all these years, the Music For Nations era ofAnathema music is finally receiving the attention, respect and treatment it deserves. It has been a great pleasure to work on this package. Everything from supplying the additional artwork, the remastering process of the albums, and the chance to add a surprise or two, has been a wonderful process.

Also released as special reissues will be Opeth’s three seminal albums,BLACKWATER PARK, DAMNATION and DELIVERANCE. Spiritual Beggar’s back catalogue will be released on LP for the first time, as well as Cradle of Filth and other Music For Nations artists to be confirmed shortly.
