Dom Lawson of Metal Hammer and the
Guardian reflects.
“From metal milestones by the likes of Metallica, Manowar and Opeth through to cult classics by Mindfunk, The Beyond and Dearly Beheaded, Music For Nations' vision and towering roster has provided me with some of the greatest and most enduring music I've ever heard. It is supremely exciting to witness the return of this deservedly revered label.”

Available in April (and to pre order from February 16th), Liverpool’s Anathema release their MFN back catalogue. Songwriter and guitarist Daniel Cavanagh shared his enthusiasm for the project saying,
“I'm really happy that after all these years, the Music For Nations era of Anathema 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.”
