About the new album

[AnataFan4Life]

This is just out of curiosity, but if you had to compare the sound of the upcoming album to one of the other four albums, which one would you pick? Or is this going to sound like nothing you've ever done before?

This album sounds like no other album we have done. And it have the best sound ever I can assure you.

I'm hoping it will be melodic like The Infernal Depths of Hatred, great examples of well done melodies without being watered down.

[Dexter_prog]

I hope it's as good as The Conductor's Departure. That album kicks ass, and please tell there's more melodies a-la-King Crimson (like in Downward Spiral Into Madness), when one guitars plays a riff and the other one plays the same riff (maybe harmonized) but off-tempo

[Ander]

Hey Conny, can you give us news about the new album, expected for some years now? Still bothered by your label? We all have the feeling that he never released this "Greed Conquers All"...

Honestly, The Conductor's Departure has made me it's bitch. I listen to it every day. I've got all of their albums, they all are amazing, but Conductor's Departure rises above. The intertwining guitar melodies, the aggressiveness while still having a touch of melancholy here and there (such as the instrumental part in the middle of Downward Spiral).

Anata can do no wrong, they are just too metal. I'd like to see Departure- style stuff, however change isn't a bad thing either. I'm just glad that there's new shit on the way

[emperadorXXIV]

sorry, when is the new album coming out again? I was informed it had been recorded 2 years ago.

[Darwin]

well, its almost 2011 guys....

we all know by now that it's totally out of the band's control, but sweet jesus fucking christ this wait is getting beyond laughable, and i wouldn't be surprised if the band has lost alot of fans and support over such a long time period with no new material. pretty unfortunate.

earache records is the biggest fucking joke of a label that i have ever known. i have probably emailed them 4 times since 2008, and none of them were hostile messages until about the last one i sent a few months ago, after they didn't even care to respond to a fan and supporter of the bands on their roster. i hope their business burns to the fucking ground.

I just hope Anata doesn't turn into the next !T.O.O.H.!

[EricObscene]

For as creative as Anata is, the new one should be worth the wait.

[Concentrictech]

i'm starting to think it might not happen. i mean, with allenmark having left i'm sure the band was more fragile than before, and this shit with labels can be so defeating. i'd like to think that if it weren't for the contract they are in, they would find some other way to get this music heard, but with how little they check their myspace or post on this board, i really am starting to feel like the band isn't much of a concern to them, and that really sucks. i sincerely hope that i'm wrong.

[strychnine]

I've tried contacting Earache several times with no response. Nothing vulgar, just well written questions and even stating that I will be taking my business elsewhere and will implore others to never buy anything from Earache ever again. You'd think with the economy where it is that every order/person would count but apparently Earache doesn't care about losing customers.

[Ander]

I received a newsletter from them and I told them I just wanted the new Anata. Here's what the guy told me:

"Hey Alex

I know how you feel! If only anyone knew what they were doing since their bizarre in the studio article in Terrorizer a couple of years ago!!"

[Virulo]

WTF, they don't care about their bands, fuck them.

No, please.

[Mettalian]

This wait is nigh unbearable. C'mon Earache. Don't $#!+ on your most important act.

Conny's response to an e-mail asking about the new record.


"I don't have any news. We are waiting for Earache to let us go. Hopefully we can come with some news soon.
Thanks for your support and interest.

Cheers/
Conny"

From a very helpful "Digby" at Earache:

Recorded in 2008?? That's wrong dude... Where are you reading this
misleading info?

that's when they STARTED the album bro....4 years ago the drums went down,
errr at least we think they did??

Then ... Nothing

we had 3 years of silence.... Which is not really how we expect
professional bands to conduct business.

See Frediks email below where he states the album is not even finished as at
May 2011.

No vocals, no mix.

Fredrik was kind enough to email and explain the delay, and enquire if we
still had any interest in this Anata instrumental album, without vocals,
and unmixed.

I said thanks, but no thanks.

He also included the original emails which I will not post for privacy.

[Claude]

So what then? Are we going to see this album or not?

[flayedandskinned]

Hmm. I wish this thing would just come out already.

[touke]

I'm still in love with every one of their albums so I'm fine with waiting. It's going to be fucking Tits when it does get released though.

[Dexter_prog]

Time keeps passing and no news of the new album yet :/ :(

Sad to say, it looks like Greed Conquers All will never see the light of day. As much as I hate to say it, it looks like Concentrictech was right in saying that the band just doesn't seem to care anymore, the last time that the guys in Anata ever posted here was in late 2010 and that was three years ago. Add the consistent silence and the picture is complete. Either Earache has completely fucked them over like they did with !T.O.O.H!, or they just gave up entirely. Either situation is just as plausible and just as hopeless.

[AnataConquersAll]

I signed up just to share my disappointment :(
Its just so sad that I've been scanning this very post for years, and nothing seems to be helping the band to get their album out. The world of death metal will never know what its lost if its true. You guys are my heroes, the few that make such beautiful, soulful, crushing death metal. F you Earache, you are forever on my sh*tlist. Fredrik, Conny & Henrik, I hope you find the strength to go on. I am HOPING there is probably a contractual obligation they have to wait out - which prevents them from posting/informing(?) people about the album, till it runs out and they can find another label then. Its been so long, it can't be much longer right? That's just a wild guess, im hoping its true. Love to you Anata, from India.

[Insania]

Any news ?

[Chongo666]

Fuck me- saw new post and thought new album was on its way - then read when this post started LOL
Anata is my favorite band wish something would happen
