Pentecost III comes at an unusual moment in Anathema's career. This would be the last release to have Darren White as vocalist. However, while on the verge of leaving, he remained in the band for Pentecost III. Pentecost III is easily one of Anathema's high points and Darren's best performance during his tenure. This EP is somewhat polarizing; even my long time buddy who loves Anathema doesn't really go back to this album. From first listen I knew that this was going to be a fantastic album and to this day it still holds up for me.

I like this EP a bit more than "Serenades". I find it more solid in songs' quality.

For me, their best release. We, The Gods, Kingdom are just pure ownage.

Bought this the other day with 'The Crestfallen' EP. It's nothing I've not heard from Death/Doom Metal before, but it's still pretty good in terms of gloomy atmosphere and somewhat meaningful lyrics.

Somehow, this EP never grew on me. I expected doom/death in the vein of Serenades and The Crestfallen but all over sudden the death ingredients almost ceased to excist. I still remember how disappointed I was back then in 1995, spending something like 20 Deutschmark on this...
