Anathema are a band from Liverpool that started as a death-/doom metal band in the 1990ies, but gradually added more melody over the years so that they would nowadays fall into the progressive rock category. Though what was constant with them throughout all the years was their honest way of deeply emotional self-expression.
It's so nice to see one of my favorite bands to perform with none other than Stephen Hawking.
It's a cover of a Pink Floyd song (they cover them a lot), with Stephen Hawking eerily adding to the spacey atmosphere.
Enjoy!
The event took place at a festival that combines music and science. http://www.starmus.com/stephen-hawking-will-be-honored-at-starmus-by-the-oscar-winning-composer-hans-zimmer-global-recording-artist-sarah-brightman-and-anathema/
