It's finally here – our new 2nd album "Stentorian" Featuring 11 new tracks it's certainly DARKER, STRONGER and LOUDER than our first album "Slowburn". With a more aggressive and live rock sound, the album takes you on a journey through war zones, drug addiction, piracy and sibling rivalry. We wanted to make an album that reflects our live sound – a rollercoaster ride of grinding guitars, powerful drumming and passionate, sweeping vocals. Stentorian is released on the 13 October and our new single from the album "MusicBox" is out on the 29th September. To hear more, check out the new sample tracks taken from the album.

What the press says
'Stentorian' is over-flowin' with great songs performed with superb musicianship and great vision - from big, bold balladic through to gentle, lilting and subtle, Anemo show their range, flexibility and ability to make soft rock songs that're catchy as well as expressive.
Toxic Pete
Stentorian proves to be a corker of an album and an undisputed contender for female fronted rock album of the year. But what makes the album so impressive (apart from the delivery) is the strength of the song writing which has melody and diversity by the bucketful. It leans far more on the strengths of the likes of All About Eve - but with an altogether harder edge - than Evanescence, with a sound that only British bands can offer.

Fair Hearing
The fabulous Anemo returns with a brilliant new album, Stentorian, that is jam-packed with even more musical goodies from this Brighton-based band.
Motorbar
ANEMO began life in September 2002 when Kingsley Sage was auditioning
singers for a song writing and recording project. The results had been
universally disappointing (to put it mildly), until at the 11th hour a
former actress and talented vocalist called Hazelle Woodhurst entered the
picture. The two immediately got on well, with their shared love of
different types of music and, of course, a good cup of tea. The two
set to work on penning a number of songs that would later become the basis
of the ANEMO's first album. They decided that the project needed a rock
edge, and to that end guitarist Matt Palmer was added to the mix.
After countless evenings at the band's basement studio in Brighton, the
three had amassed an impressive collection of
pop-meets-rock-meets-electronica tracks. At this point, the group took on
the name ANEMO a word that means "changing forms", to reflect the blend of
styles and influences that was brought to the music. The strong vocal
melodies and distinctive style caught the attention of Trebor Lloyd, CEO of
New York-based upcoming independent record label, City Canyons. In summer
2005 ANEMO signed a 3 album record contract and began to record the final
tracks for their first album.
The trio's debut album "Slowburn" was met with critical acclaim on both
sides of the Atlantic - gaining rave reviews and returning top 10 positions
on U.S. college radio. The band were championed by BBC 6 music as "one to
watch" on the Bruce Dickinson (of Iron Maiden fame) Rock Show. The ANEMO
live band has toured throughout the U.K. and were recognised for their
energetic live perfomances by winning the CRS "Best Live Band 2006" award.
The band have now competed their second studio album "Stentorian", which has a sound
more focused towards the aggression and energy of the live band than it's
predecessor. The first single from "Stentorian" was "Pray" was released on 15 October 2007.
The next single released from "Stentorian" is "MusicBox" and "Stentorian" will be released on 13 October 2008.
